Super Tuesday

October 2, 2012 By Laura

You’re unique.

 

Just like everyone else.

It seems like everyone has done a “September Superlative” post!  I’m being a copy cat… but in a unique way because I’m doing it late.  😉

 

1. Most Popular:

Microwave Protein Cookie + WIAW – This nutty, protein-filled 30 second cookie was the most viewed post in September.  I also loved this post because it highlights a few of the many reasons women should lift weights. 

 

 

2. Most Likely to Win a Bar Fight

This Tequila-Lime Tilapia would kick your dinner’s butt.  And it would walk out in a perfectly straight line ’cause the booze (mostly) cooks out.

 

 

3. Most Versatile

What isn’t better layered like a parfait?  I’m awarding my Protein Parfait the Most Versatile because I’ve made it a million ways.  The original was a Tiramisu Protein Parfait, but September’s flavor-of-the-month is a Pumpkin Tiramisu.

 

A few friends have made their own versions.  Check out this Chocolate-Peanut Butter version from Sarena:

 

 

4. Most Unique

This is a no-brainer.  #sorryimnotsorry to be Captain Obvious, but most unique is all about the “Strange But Good” posts.   I’m craving peaches, so I’m going to call out the post with the Salmon-Peach Salad:

 

 

But you should check out the follow-up post for more #strangebutgood… like Mexican Hot Chocolate Protein Ice Cream.  If that’s still not enough strange, click on over to Lauren’s blog.  She’s featuring some weird combos today, including my PB & Jeggs!

 

 

5. Most Photogenic

It’s no secret that I abhor taking pics.  It’s a necessary evil for me as a blogger… so when I get one that I really like, I get excited.  This Fig and Edamame Salad with Sriracha-Lime Vinaigrette was pretty and delicious (fashionable and functional?). 

Honorable Mention

This isn’t a September post, but I have to give it some love… my Mexican Cauliflower “Rice” Bowl was included in Fitness Magazine’s 11 Easy Lunches to Lose Weight!

***

I wasn’t cool in high school, so no superlatives for me.  Even more reason to Bogart an entire blog post giving them to myself.  Bwhahaha!

Did you get a superlative in school?

What would your superlative be for the month of September?  Brag on yo’ self!

    Congrats on the feature! Very awesome. 🙂 I haven’t looked at my stats in at least a month, so I have no idea what would be the most popular post. I was pretty pleased with my apple muffins though, which I guess counts for something. (Hopefully I typed in that link correctly…)

    I campaigned hard for people to vote for me for “sleeps most in class” in high school. I didn’t win. But I should have! I know, something to be proud of, right?

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:10 AM

      I would have voted for you. 🙂

  3. Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says

    October 2, 2012 at 8:46 AM

    You should win “most creative superlative categories”, duh. 😉 I’m proud of myself for my first 10k!

  4. Rachel @ My Naturally Frugal Family says

    My school didn’t do superlatives…so I didn’t have the opportunity to not win one (LAME).

    I do know that I never won homecoming queen, but who cares I got to be the captain of the cheerleaders (I’ll hang my hat on that little accomplishment and call it a day).

    Congrats on the feature!!!

    Oh you mentioned yesterday that you had another demo coming up? Congratulations on that. Will it be at the farmer’s market across from your building? Seriously Vita-Mix is going to need to make you an offer (or at least some swag).

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:12 AM

      Cheer captain?! Look at you, hot stuff! 🙂

      this demo is a bigger setting, and no Vitamix… I’m really, really nervous. More to come…

    How did I forget about that cookie and that I needed to make it? Trying out this new-fangled Pinterest for keeping track of food ideas, we’ll see if that helps.

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:14 AM

      I’ll make you one this weekend! Wheeee!

  6. Alex @ therunwithin says

    October 2, 2012 at 9:55 AM

    very cool idea, love the eats!

  7. Calee (@chimes) says

    October 2, 2012 at 10:11 AM

    I was totally going to do this. I might do it tomorrow for my WIAW … maybe. Unless I eat something pretty awesome today. I’ve failed at taking pix of my food.

  8. Life's a Bowl says

    October 2, 2012 at 10:15 AM

    HOLY YUMMM, all of the above look delicious! I’ve got 2 superlatives for my September… Most memorable moment: getting married [eek, yay!]… Refound obsession: peanut flour!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:16 AM

      I think you got the mother of all memorable superlatives. Congratulations!!

  9. Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says

    October 2, 2012 at 10:26 AM

    I was Most Likely to Brighten Your Day.

    Of course I was also in charge of the senior section of the yearbook and might have been able to sway people to vote for me.

    The truth comes out.

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:17 AM

      I am unsurprised. I’d give you that one now! 🙂 #nuttylove

      P.S. I was the yearbook editor. nerds Unite!

  10. Alysha @Shesontherun says

    October 2, 2012 at 10:50 AM

    No, I did not get a superlative. But if I did, it would be “most talkative.” I was always getting yelled at my teachers to quit chatting!

  11. Laura says

    October 2, 2012 at 11:14 AM

    I love this recap style posts… always reminds me of the things I missed and wanted to try. Congrats on your recipe being featured, too!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:19 AM

      Thank you, Laura! I love when you do them. 🙂

  12. Kelly@Chow-Daily says

    October 2, 2012 at 11:40 AM

    Haha, I love reading these superlative posts on various blogs and seeing what people come up with for titles. I think the most photogenic is one of the best recipes- edamame is an obsession of mine. In high school I won best eyes and best couple- even though we broke up about a month later, ooh young relationships.

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:19 AM

      That’s so sad!!! Best eyes is a great one though!

  13. lindsay says

    October 2, 2012 at 12:45 PM

    i had my bet on bourbon chicken for the win. Or guinness stew.

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:20 AM

      Mmmm… bourbon…

  14. Purely Michelle says

    October 2, 2012 at 1:39 PM

    funny how everyone has a microwave recipe of some type 😉 thank goodness for convenience of it!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:21 AM

      I know! I’m digging on Heather’s PB-Pumpkin Cake right now too.

  15. Kat says

    October 2, 2012 at 1:51 PM

    Love quick protein ideas! And I think I just got a weird look for licking the computer screen…((sigh))

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:22 AM

      Hahaha! I’ve been known to lick a screen or two (doesn’t that sound like a country song?).

  16. Natalie @ FreshLifeFindings says

    October 2, 2012 at 2:34 PM

    I saw that you were featured while reading last night! So awesome 🙂 and your pumpkin parfait still always looks the best to me!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:22 AM

      Thank you! That parfait is definitely getting some wear around here. 🙂

  17. Candy @ Healthy In Candy Land says

    October 2, 2012 at 3:05 PM

    I was Most Athletic back in the day. I wonder what I would be if people voted now. Most Likely to be Injured, perhaps?

    I was one of the many that tried your microwave protein cookie. There’s a reason it’s so popular!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:23 AM

      Nooooo! I’d still vote you Most Athletic.

      Thanks for trying to cookie. 🙂

  18. Carol @ Lucky Zucca says

    October 2, 2012 at 4:10 PM

    NICE JOB getting into fitness magazine!! My superlative for September would be making the Daily Buzz Healthy Living top 9!!!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:24 AM

      That was awesome! And I can’t think of a better topic for you to be included in. 🙂

  19. Kierston says

    October 2, 2012 at 4:15 PM

    Love the look of those parfaits!

  20. Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says

    October 2, 2012 at 4:31 PM

    You definitely get my superlative as the most unique!! I love all your creations!!

  21. Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says

    October 2, 2012 at 5:09 PM

    I love this post! I loved that parfait too! YUM! Good for you tooting your own horn on that Fitness Magazine spotlight! That dish looks amazing! I’m totally doing that soon! I love me some cauliflower rice!

  22. Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says

    October 2, 2012 at 6:04 PM

    Why oh WHY haven’t I made your tiramasu parfait yet?! I need to brew an extra cup of coffee tomorrow (extra strong) so that I can have it ready to go! I suppose I could also try it with chai tea… or Dandy Blend…

    I didn’t get any superlatives in high school, but heard I was a close second for “most artistic.” I would have voted me “laziest” or “hates to exercise the most.” Clearly I’m a different gal, 15 years later. 🙂

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:26 AM

      I want to make heather’s tiramisu pancakes, but crumble them in a parfait…. epic.

      Chai would be really good! Maybe with some orange sections? Or plum?

      I cannot see you as laziest!

  23. Amanda @ .running with spoons. says

    October 2, 2012 at 8:54 PM

    My school didn’t do superlatives – we were lame and didn’t even have a football team… But if I were to give myself a superlative for September it would be “most likely to get sick from eating too much watermelon.” I’ve been completely addicted to that darned fruit lately and have no problem going through mass quantities of it on a daily basis.

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:27 AM

      Ohhhh… I wish we could still get good watermelon. That sounds good!

  24. Hannah says

    October 2, 2012 at 9:43 PM

    Perhaps, if this AirBnB apartment had a microwave, I wouldve made that cookie instead of eating 2/3rds of the pint of Laloo’s Rumplemint.

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:27 AM

      I don’t think that pint is a bad substitute… 😉

  25. Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says

    October 2, 2012 at 9:50 PM

    I definitely wasn’t cool enough in high school for superlatives….ha!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:28 AM

      High 5 to being in with the out crowd!

  26. Laura @ LauraLivesLife says

    October 2, 2012 at 10:35 PM

    No superlatives in HS for me either – I’d say it’s because I went to four high schools, but it’s more likely that I simply wasn’t that girl. In September,mhiwever, I think I won my own personal superlative of “most productive.”. I was crazy busy but feel like I got a ton accomplished!

    • Laura says

      October 3, 2012 at 3:29 AM

      I NEED to win most productive. Way to go!

  27. Choc Chip Uru says

    October 3, 2012 at 12:11 AM

    Each of these recipes are special in their own way – I like that my friend 🙂
    Nice one!

    Cheers

      October 3, 2012 at 3:30 AM

      Thank you so much! I award you most unique sweets. 🙂

  28. Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli says

    October 3, 2012 at 3:32 AM

    Well look at you miss popularity! Congratulations on the feature…that’s awesome! And loved the “most likely to win a bar fight” Lol!

    You know, I meant to tell you (and tried unsuccessfully to work it into my post…I blame my lack of sleep) but I was totally inspired by your tiramisu parfaits for this past Pancake Sunday! Ever since I had that pumpkin one, I couldn’t get it out of my head! I NEED to make it again for sure!

    No superlatives for me in high school…I was obviously too cool for school! 😉

    But as for my September superlative? I’d say my pumpkin cake makes Most Popular…or I could say Most Likely to be Instagrammed…and Drooled Over! I like it…kinda catchy! 😉

    • Laura says

      October 4, 2012 at 12:56 AM

      I cannot WAIT to try those pancakes. And just wait until you see what I did to your PB cake… consider it sufficiently drooled over and imitated/bastardized.

  29. Holly says

    October 3, 2012 at 4:22 PM

    My superlative for September would be most consecutive anxiety attacks.

    Fig and edamame? That looks cool but I’m not won over by the sound of it. I’ll have to head on over to check out the rest of the recipe.

    Also, congrats about the magazine mention! That’s fabulous!

    • Laura says

      October 4, 2012 at 12:57 AM

      I love your honesty… check it out and let me know what you think 😉
