How AWESOME was The Office’s opening montage last night?!?!
It captured each character so perfectly: Andy’s cartwheel, Pam’s adorableness, Erin’s random roller skating, Kelly & Ryan fighting, Dwight biting heads off of stuffed animals, Angela’s “I SAID I didn’t want to be on the Internet!!!!” and, of course, Michael’s inability to stop flipping doves out of a magic stick.
And OMG that random, awkward HR kid from :50-:52? I’m still laughing!!
Ohh anyways, I made a filliing Vanilla Almond Butter & Banana Smoothie for breakfast today!
In the mix:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 Tablespoon almond butter
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
I’ve been making smoothies for as long as I can remember, and this has always been one of my favorite combos. It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and the salty flavor from the almond butter is ootw!
I’ve actually been busy in the kitchen today, because I cooked lunch up this morning too! Sesame Tofu & Rice.
My Mom wasn’t feeling well so we skipped our morning walk. I was up anyways out of habit, and hadn’t planned anything for lunch, so I mixed some pressed, extra firm tofu with soy sauce, agave nectar, sesame oil and garlic powder, then popped it in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Roasty and toasty.
I love that crust!
I also cooked up a serving of brown rice in water, with splashes and dashes of the same seasonings I cooked the tofu in. It makes the rice taste SO good!
The whole meal was done before I finished this post! 
I laid the ‘fu and rice over a bed of fresh, baby spinach for some nutrients. It’ll steam it a little bit from the hot rice and be a perfect, wilty texture when I dig in around noon. 
Already, better get a moooove on it – LOTS to do today!
Oh – TGIF!!!!

Tell me your must-see shows on television!
My staples are Gossip Girl, The Office and 30 Rock but I also dig on trashy television shows like The Real Housewives (NJ & OC only, please,) Teen Mom and The Jersey Shore. I know…
Parenthood is our new fav from last year. And then of course Mad Men! LOVE Mad Men!
Mad Men is my all time favorite show. The writing! The actors! The clothes! Love, love, love!
The Office! And everything on HBO. Plus Greys and Private Practice!
The Office, Biggest Loser, Glee, House, Family Guy, and The Simpsons
I’ve gotta have Bones! Along with The Office, Glee, and sometimes Parenthood…
Days of Our Lives, The Biggest Loser, Desperate Housewives, Survivor (I really want to be a contestant!), The Mentalist, The Office, Kate Plus 8 (I know…), Law & Order SVU, and sometimes CSI and CSI Miami (although “H” irritates me BIG time)
Love the Good Wife, The Mentalist and anything CSI (especially the hot redhead “H”, I just know he’d be a great kisser), and don’t forget House!
Grey’s Anatomy (though I’m hoping the next couple episodes are better than last night’s opener), Private Practice, and Big Bang Theory. Although we’re a season behind for Big Bang Theory, so that’s Netflix.
I’ll watch other things if I’m bored, but I’ve made myself choose just these shows to follow otherwise I’d always be watching TV. Though I will note, we have a soft spot for 30 Rock and often fill free time with that show.
If you love the Office (which in my opinion has gone sort of downhill since Season 5 but I still always watch), you MUST watch the Community! I bought the whole first season and although the first few episodes are shaky, the season and show is really solid.
I also love Mad Men, Dexter, and Parenthood.
How I Met Your Mother, The Middle, Modern Family, & Cougar Town are my fav comedies. I also love Fringe (makes me think!) and Bethenny Getting Married–she is so freaking funny!
The tofu looks great! I’ve never baked it before, thanks for the tip!
My two shows are Glee and Project Runway… although I’ve missed about half the season of Project Runway, I just can’t get into the designers this year! Oh well, I could probably use less time in front of the tv anyway
i missed The Office last night, but that montage makes me oh-so-excited to catch up this weekend!
i have two shows i watch religiously: Glee & The Office.
word.
Ah, I didn’t get to see The Office last night, but that clip totally just made my morning!!
I’m with you on The Office, Jersey Shore, and Teen Mom!
GREY’S ANATOMY!!!! Castle….gossip girl……criminal minds…….
Oh..you are def. missing out on the DC!
Don’t you watch Flipping Out? OMG… Love it!
I LOVE Hell’s Kitchen, Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, and Cougar Town!
I love Entourage, Glee, and Grey’s Anatomy. I would love to get into Modern Family, Community and others but I don’t let myself because it’s so much time!! Are there any I just MUST watch??
I’m ALL about Gossip Girl and Grey’s!
The tofu looks good. I have made it a few times this way and my four year old loves it. I love Parenthood, Dexter and Fringe. Have the Office on my Tivo but haven’t had a chance to watch it yet.
My must watch shows are Glee, Vampire Diairies, Gossip Girl, and Modern Family. I’m starting to get back into Grey’s Anatomy again though. I LOVE watching TV but unfortunately I don’t have much time for it lately.
You don’t like the NY group of housewives? Have you given them a try? Oh my. I love ‘em!
My must watch TV includes: Glee, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy, Weeds, How I Met Your Mother, and 30 Rock.
I have so many shows that I’m addicted to… The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Parenthood, House, Teen Mom, Bridezillas (i’m planning a wedding, so I gotta watch so I don’t turn into one!), Community, Modern Family & Cougartown. Plus all the new shows out this year, I have no time for a life! ha ha.
food network, tlc (none of them baby shows though! ewww i do not want to see you giving birth. no thanks), hgtv are my faves. but i do love law & order svu!
Weeds, Modern Family, The Office, Gossip Girl!!!……oh & HOUSE HUNTERS :S – yeah I know, not really on the same “level” as the others..but I LOVE it!!
I love Gossip Girl, Gray’s Anatomy, Private Practice & Big Bang Theory!

I loved that opening of Office… too fun.
I really like Modern Family also… absolutely HILARIOUS !
your tofu looks awesome… I love topping fresh spinach with it so it gets wilty

teen mom is my favorite show, ever. i tivo it since i am in law school and dont have time to watch it during the week. i cant believe i just admitted that…
I LOVE Gossip Girl and ESPECIALLY Chuck and Blair. Or just Chuck! Love!
I’m so so sooooooo glad I’m not the only one who can’t live without Jersey Shore and Teen Mom…..oh, and Jerseylicious…..totally love that one too. That’s normal, right?
I love the Office, but I hope to start watching Modern Family soon. I also like Grey’s, but I haven’t caught up with the current season yet.
Aaaand I like NJ Housewives, Teen Mom and Jersey Shore (last night’s episode was HILARIOUS)
I love smoothies but never had one with almond butter before. That’s something I need to try.
I watch entirely too much television, and I don’t even have cable. My must sees are Biggest Loser, and Criminal Minds. Then I catch The Closer, Rizzoli and Isles, and In Plain Sight online.
OMG thank yfor sharing. We cancelled our cable last month so I greatly appreciate the video. I haven’t had time to watch my staple shows yet on the ineternet yet, so I hope this holds me over until life slows down.
My go to shows, Modern Family, Couger Town, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, so many more.
That opener on Thursday night was PERFECT! And you are right, it captured each person SO well. I love that show
I really like Teen Mom. My husband has started liking it too!
hi…mine is glee!
