Oscar® winner Anna Paquin and Katie Holmes lead an all-star cast in The Romantics: a generational “dramedy” about friendship, rivalry and loyalty. Alliances are tested when seven college pals reunite to watch two of their own say “I do” at a seaside wedding. But the maid of honor (Holmes) and the groom (Duhamel) share a passionate history, and the bride (Paquin) isn’t the only one who’s wondering if it’s all in the past. Based on the acclaimed novel by Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics proves tha…t nothing complicates friendship like love.

Mixed Berry Parfait!!

November 22nd, 2011 | Posted by Milana in Food Picks - (0 Comments)

This is my favorite fat free protein-fruit snack from Red Mango. You simply choose your favorite frozen yogurt (my fave is the regular-pomegranate swirl) and then have it layered with fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, sliced banana and topped with flax granola. At 210 calories per parfait nothing else beats this refreshing, fat free, not to mention antioxidant-rich snack!! If you prefer the tart taste of regular yogurt then you will absolutely love this!!!!
