Is it wrong.....

...to go to the gym and workout so hard that your shirt is soaked in sweat ... then afterwards stop at Cumberland Farms to buy a snicker ice cream bar AND a twix ice cream bar, instead of make the chicken salad you planned to have for dinner???

I hope not.

I am glad that rugby practice started again because at least I won't have to hear a certain someone tell me that it is.

Ice cream for dinner is a dream, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And if they try, give them a taste.

Oh how the taste buds have changed....

I guess what they say is true. When you get older your taste for food changes. I learned that today.

When I was younger, I stayed away from Baby Ruth's and Mr. Goodbars. I found them to be rather nasty.

Today, one of our vendors brought in a bunch of bite size chocolate bars. They were all wrapped in Easter colors, which made me a bit surprised that Easter candy is already out on the shelves.

Moving on, my co-worker was munching on Baby Ruth's and Mr. Goodbars and mentioned how delicious they were.



I became curious, got up and picked up two. I unwrapped the Baby Ruth first and popped it in my mouth. I chewed slowly, just in case I needed to spit it out all of a sudden. To my surprise, I swallowed and enjoyed the nutty and caramel flavors. Yummy!

I then unwrapped the Mr. Goodbar and popped it in my mouth. Again, I chewed slowly, just in case, and to my surprise I swallowed and enjoyed the crunchy nutty and chocolately flavor. Yummy!

I wonder what else I am missing out on.

Maybe I should try brussel sprouts again.

Absolute Yumminess

On Christmas Eve, I made two delicious snacks. I got the first super easy recipe from Jacin.


I also made this out of the world Oreo Truffle. I got the recipe from Stephanie.


This was my festive presentation:


I had a great Christmas. I didn't take pictures but I did make ask Sean to take a picture of me rocking my new Uggs.


I was very happy about getting them especially with the snow banks we have that I am convinced won't melt until May.

It was a great day and I hope you all had amazing ones too!

What is your favorite healthy snack?

I have grown to love almonds and string cheese! My girlfriend Sasha (below) turned me on to them!


When she first asked if I would like some at a rugby game I thought, who in the world eats cheese and nuts? She is also my friend who LOVES celery with cream cheese and peanut butter in her jello. Yes, she does!

Imagine my surprise when I realized that the mixture was heavenly. So good AND filling! It is like cheese goes with almonds the way cheese goes with wine and crackers! :)

So head outside and pick up the things below. And eat it just the way you eat cheese and crackers. Together.





And if you do not like it, well, I just might be getting a weird taste for snacks. If all else fails you can always buy a bag of these. They are delish (as I am sure you all know) and don't upset anything but your waistline.


So I am looking for some healthy snack options. Please share!
