Ooey and Gooey
Hiiiii 😀 How are ya? Thanks for all of the awesome song suggestions this morning! My iPizzle thanks you 🙂
My day was spent listening to the Bailamos! station on the TV whilst cooking up dinner for the commander’s fam.
(1 tray for the fam, 1 tray for the pilot + enchi’s for my 2:30 training appointment)
Salad:
Lime and Cilantro Basmati Rice:
aaaaaand Chocolate Chip Ooey Gooey Butter cakes.
I saved a little of everything for the Pilot and I to enjoy for dinner. It’s kind of nice to come home and know dinner is waiting 🙂
The Pilot’s butter cake plate:
He will eat all four of those. Before dinner, with a pile of ice cream 😉 That’s how he rolls.
I munched one too, and it was ridiculous. I LOVE yellow cake mix and these have a brilliant cakey bottom, creamy top with melted chocolate chips throughout. I now have a stomach ache and headache from the diary and sugar –not used to it like I used to be- but it was so worth it 😉
Since I was cooking all day today, I haven’t had time to get my workout face on yet, but I might practice some Zumba dances after dinner just to move around a little.
Hope you all have a great night! See ya in the morning with a love post 🙂
xoxo,
Gina
Something to do: Try these yoga/strength training hybrid moves! Awesome way to add some pizzazz in tomorrow’s weight routine 🙂

Yummmmm! My hubby would love these!
Well, who am I kidding…I would love these! 😉
Thank you very much for making me drool and want to hope on a plane for dinner!! hehe
Great job!
Oh, I love gooey butter cakes, but they are definitely super sweet. I’ve made several varieties for my husband’s co workers. Lemon is great, so is cookies and cream. The pilot’s commander’s family is really lucky to receive such a wonderful dinner.
Believe it or not, the ENCHILADAS are my favorite part of this post. Nothing against the cookie bars. But those enchiladas look amazing!
I am so glad I just ate. I’d be rummaging in the fridge for CHEESE after seeing these yummy photos.
Ok those cakes look unreal!
Looks delicious! You are so nice to make dinner for them 🙂
You had me at Ooey! 🙂
oh those butter cakes look like heaven…I would expect nothing less from my girl Paula. Actually everything looks really yummy, especially that rice!
will you put up the recipe for the butter cakes pleaseee???!!! they look delish!!
nevermind on teh recipe. found it haha
That looks so good! I wish I had enchiladas and gooey butter cake to come home to!
Wow, that dinner looks amazing – the commander’s fam will LOVE it. I can’t wait to try out those yoga+strength moves, they look awesome!
Butter cake, delicious. You must be tired from all the cooking.
Yum, those look AWESOME! I’ve only tried making those butter cakes once, and I’m pretty sure they left me feeling pretty icky, too! (but worth it)
Making all that food probably counts as a workout, too! 😀
you’re totally right 🙂
aahhh butter cakes … must look away … jk. awesome dinner!
Those bars look amazing. I love Paula Deen recipes!
Sorry if I missed it, but do you cook for the commander’s family every once in a while? Or do all the wives take turns cooking for them? Just curious.
I can’t wait for the “love post” 🙂
his wife had surgery, so we’re all taking turns cooking for their family this week so they don’t have to worry about dinner
Yum everything looks INCREDIBLE!
great entertaining menu. psyched for love post!
Delicious eats today! Ooey and gooey sum both of them up perfectly! Looking forward to your post in the morning! =)
Oh my, that looks delicious! I’m sure the Commander & family will appreciate it!
That reminds me of my husband. He would have no problem downing all of those before dinner either.
I LOVE using weights with yoga. I can stretch and lengthen even more while working the arms.
My husband would do the same thing and then have room for dinner. I love the new pictures you added on the left! Gives it a nice personal touch 🙂
thank you! my web wizard added that today 🙂
And I thought I was the only one that loved yellow cake! People think I’m nuts, but I think it’s quite perfect actually! Great spread!!
yellow cake is my FAVE 🙂 or funfetti 😉
ohhh my goshhhh those butter cakes look amazing. boys- they’re all the same with their infinite amounts of cake and subsequent six-packs 🙂 hope you have a great night!
seriously, the pilot will eat a dozen donuts and get another ripple in his abs. the envy
That’s so nice of you to do!
Seeing the “tray of enchi’s for the pilot” made me LOL because I remember at dinner on Saturday you were saying how he will eat ALL of them in one sitting. A beast!! haha 😉
I need to make me some ooey gooey butter cakes. YUM
You really do dinner right! And dessert, for that matter.
Butter cakes! OMG, my mouth is watering. My body can’t take sugar like it used to, but it sure tastes good going down!
i ADORE gooey butter cakes…too bad i can barely eat one without getting sick on the sugar!
Those cakes look amazing! I learned the hard way a couple weeks ago that I can’t handle sugar the way I used to—at least not smack dab in the middle of a busy day—but once in a while a treat is worth it.
The cake looks so good! How do you make it? It looks kind of crispy on the top.
there’s a link to the recipe- it’s a paula deener 🙂
Wow… what a night! Enchiladas and butter cake 🙂
Dessert looks yumtastic!
oooh! I’m with the pilot on his butter cake plate. I’ve always said I would rather eat dessert than dinner, LOL 🙂 They look wonderful!
Butter cake looks awesome with all the chocolate chips.
wow those butter cakes look delicious! YUMMM
My stomach is hurting just thinking of eating all four of those bars with ice cream! Not that I would let that stop me, though..!!
Chelsea
The pilot is a lucky man!!!! Go Paula Dean! That cake looks ridiculous! 🙂
And I meant ridiculous in a good way! 🙂
It looks like everything turned out delicious, as always!!!
Yum! This meal looks great! I may have to copy the whole thing, my boyfriend would love it.
those cakes look phenomenal!
those are definitely ooey and gooey and awesome looking!!! I want one…right now!!! 🙂
your salad looks amazing. is there a recipe for it?
btw … all of the food looks delish!
no i just throw everything willy nilly into a bowl and season with lime juice, sea salt and pepper
Quick question- did you just substitute the chocolate chips for the pumpkin and spices in the Paul Deen recipe?
Yes, I need to know as well please! 🙂
yes- i think at the end of the recipe it gives you different options for flavor combos
Men’s metabolisms seriously amaze me! If only I could throw back four pieces of butter cake and still have room for dinner. 😛
The enchiladas are as good as they look!
I agree with Chelsea. Men’s metabolism’s are crazy. I went on a hike with my guy friend. He ate 4 meal replacement bars, a PB&J and an apple and his stomach was constantly growling.
What a feast! Those chocolate cake bars look dangerous – I would want to eat 4 at a time too 😉
