Just Call Me McGuyver

I want to start off by saying thank you all so much for your kind words and sympathy for the loss of my grandmother recently. I really, truly appreciate it. Free hugs for everyone! And also a big thank you for anyone who commented on my lovely little sibs - it's gone straight to their heads, I can assure you that!

But let's get down to business, shall we?

fresh eats.

In keeping with my peanut butter + chocolate theme, I didn't have a choice. I was forced by myself to make my yummy peanut butter pancakes again. But this time - better.

Behold! The Mega Peanut Butter Pancake. I had to flip this bad boy with two spatulas! Topped with Dark Chocolate Dreams sauce and with a side of sliced banana - I almost couldn't bring myself to eat it. Almost.

And yes, it was every bit as good as it looked.

I didn't exactly have a solid lunch because, to be honest, I'm a sucky lunch maker. But I did have this little gem I picked up on the way back from Pittsburgh. (Please excuse the sucky iPhone pics, this girl forgot her camera at home!)

Yeah. You read right. Guacamole hummus. I love guacamole. I love hummus. And I was right to assume that I'd also love guacamole hummus. Seriously, I may have just created a monster. I've almost devoured the entire container. Anddd I've had it for two days. And on top of that, ironically enough, I just saw that Meghan at The Oatmeal Diaries had whipped some up herself the other day! Uh oh....

For dinner, I really wanted to make something other than oatmeal. But at work, this beast is my only means of cooking anything:

The pizza oven. Classy. So, I had to attempt to McGuyver me up some grub! Or MacGruber it up, possibly, in this case. I decided on some french fries and a jam and cheese sandwich. I don't know why, but I've been in a real jam + cheese mood too lately. At least no one can say I'm not giving into my cravings.

I chopped up a potato and made some makeshift fries in a personal pizza tray. Score +1 for Alycia. Next I threw in my jam and cheddar cheese sandwich. I got a little artsy with this pic.

I've just got awesome skillz with an iPhone apparently. Don't deny. After a few seconds in this bad boy (since it cooks at a sweltering 500 degrees), I got this delicious gooeyness.

Yum much? Alycia = +5. Mean Pizza Oven = -35. And dinner was served!

Not bad, right?! I know, I was impressed with myself as well. I need my own reality show. You all know you'd watch it. Right now, I'm off to watch the newest Harry Potter, since Nichole has reminded me that I've yet to see it. And that just won't do when we're off at Harry Potter World!! (;

What's the best meal you've ever made at work? Or if you have any ideas on meals I could make at work (cause I'm greedy like that), feel free to share!
