Skinny Cow

Katie

April 9, 2009

Dessert of the week: a chopped banana, a handful of strawberries, some plain nonfat yogurt, and a sprinkle of Splenda.

Probably it’s better with a drizzle of chocolate syrup (or a giant scoop of chocolate ice cream), but I’m trying to eat less crap.

This concoction is the perfect accompaniment to an evening of Idol results.

Good riddance, Scott McIntyre.

Hello, little summer clothes.
