Blue

It's Wednesday, so technically this post should be about a man, but there's just so much of Channing to enjoy that we thought we'd let him be for another week. Oh, Channing... What? Oh, sorry. We were daydreaming again. 

Amongst the various types of food we sisters enjoy, desserts are a big part of them (let's be honest, all categories are a big part for us). We know sweets are good in moderation and lately, we've been trying to explore a healthier side to our treats. As usual these days, Pinterest has come to our rescue! We came across this frozen snack last week and had to try it immediately. We were not disappointed and encourage you to try them yourself!

Frozen Yogurt Blueberries

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbs honey
• 8 oz package of fresh blueberries

Preparation

Make room in your freezer for a cookie sheet and line it with wax paper(the sheet, not the freezer). In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and honey until even and well combined. Using a spoon and your well-washed fingers (original recipe suggested toothpicks; man up and use your hands!), add in a few blueberries in the bowl at a time and coat well with the yogurt mix. Place the coated blueberries on the baking sheet, spaced so that they don't touch and freeze together. Once all of the blueberries are coated, put the cookie sheet in the freezer for an hour at least. And if your name is Mariana, ask every 15 minutes if they're ready yet.

After an hour, each blueberry should pop right off of the wax paper. Enjoy right away or place into sandwich bags and put in the freezer to enjoy later.

Warning: They do start to melt pretty quickly so we recommend eating them right out of the freezer. Please note, this does not mean we think you should stand in your freezer and eat them. We do however think we are very funny. We hope you do too.

Don't forget your music and don't be blue eating these tasty treats!

Bon appetit. Buen provecho. Bluuuuueeee...

A Poem for Channing

It dawned on us today that we've never blogged about our dear Channing Tatum and found this to be ludacris and unacceptable. So today, in honor of this beautiful, gorgeous man, we wrote him a poem.

Ode to Channing

Channing, you are our favorite boy

Everything about you brings us so much joy

 

There is no need for you to ever wear a shirt

We couldn't stay away, even if you were covered in dirt

You make us swoon whether you're in a suit

or on the beach

We'd love you in the rain, 

 

as long as you're always within our reach!

 

We loved Step Up, The Vow, and the like...

But we really cannot wait to see Magic Mike!

We'll see you ladies at the movies!

Bon appetit. Buen provecho. Cha-nning!

Summer Girls

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer around the country, but here in Tucson our spring is over as soon as it hits 100 degrees (you know, in April). So when summertime hits, what do you crave? Fresh vegetables and light, citrus flavors. Oh, and cheese. Because we all know by now that these Vazquez girls live by one rule: you can never go wrong with cheese. So in the spirit of summertime, we bring you a sassy little summer sidedish that can accompany just about anything.

Asparagus with Lemon Zest and Gorgonzola

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of asparagus
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
• Zest of half a lemon
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Preparation:

First, break off the bottom tips of the asparagus; they'll break off naturally where they should. Then, chop the asparagus spears into thirds and place in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add asparagus. Sautee until the spears are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and let cool while you prepare your accompanying dish.

After they cool, add the zest from the lemon. You can also add a little lemon juice if you'd like. Toss the Gorgonzola in and serve! (The original recipe called for feta, so you can also try that. We were skeptical at first of the pairing of the lemon with the Gorgy, but it actually worked really well, so we recommend it!)

This dish can be paired with just about anything. We made burgers and had the asparagus instead of fries and it was delicious! This is also a perfect dish to take with you to a summer party or on a picnic, since you don't have to worry about keeping it warm. Add a little music to take you back, and you'll be ready to face the heat!

Bon appetit. Buen provecho. We think it's fly...

Some Day My Prince Will Come...

(To be read in the best English accent your little inner mind can conjure)

In honor of the Queen of England's Diamond Jubilee this week, we thought it would be very fitting to dedicate this week's Hungry for Men Wednesday to the royal family.

First in line in this royal post is the handsome Prince William.

Look at that smile and those sweet baby blues! No wonder Kate was swept right off her feet! And who could forget that fairytale wedding to Kate? She is such a sweet girl, so we could never steal William from her. We will however, gladly steal her incredible wardrobe! The Vazquez sisters are now on the hunt for a great pair of bright colored jeans in hopes that we will look as lovely as Kate does and not like a pair of loons in crazy colored pantaloonies...

But we digress!
Let us return to the matter at hand, shall we? On to Prince Harry!

Now there's a sexy ginger if we ever saw one! That wild unruly hair, flushed red cheeks and carefree smile... He has his rebellious side, drinking when he was under age (who didn't?) and fight with the paparazzi (who wouldn't!), but he has grown up a bit since then, and certainly grown into his good looks! He's a man with honors now, serving as Captain in England's Army Air Corps and he's a prince...What more could a girl want? Maybe some abs. A nice pair of royal abs...

We hope you've enjoyed the special royal edition of the Man Hunger.

Bon appetit. Buen provecho. And good day to you, sire!
