There are very few things I cherish more than a midday purse snack.
For the past few weeks, I've been fond of these three in particular:
Goji berries have fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and pretty much everything awesome. Some folks aren't crazy about the taste, but they remind me of green tea (which just so happens to be my hot beverage of choice).
Raw almonds are full of fiber, protein,...
It's the week before finals and, as you can probably imagine, I'm one busy little bee. Still, I thought you guys might wanna hit up the following: Use the code REPEAT2012 and get $15 off a full size bottle of perfume from A Perfume Organic. Green sounds like my kind of scent. Check out this post on caren's blog, which includes helpful tips concerning which ingredients to avoid in your sunscreen and which foods may protect your skin from the sun. Sup, dark chocolate? Take it from the queen of crusty elbows: this cornmeal scrub is...
If there's one thing that I am, then it's a habitual snacker. So obviously, when I was given the opportunity to review Hail Merry's blonde and choco macaroons, I took the appropriate steps to make it happen. The short list of familiar, organic ingredients were an initial reassurance, but they were the furthest thing from my mind once I tasted my first choco macaroon. Delicious might be an understatement, so let's say it was delicious^3. Chocolate has never tasted so good. And the blonde macaroons were just as tasty!...
Kirby made a whole mess of chipotle chocolate soup while we were visiting our friends in Houma recently. It was spicy and rich and delicious. I ate an obscene amount. Danielle mentioned wanting to try an oatmeal strawberry smoothie she'd seen online, and I couldn't get the idea out of my head...so I made my own. I just used a handful of strawberries, a handful of spinach, a frozen banana, and about 1/2 a cup of oatmeal. It was...
Remember the dark chocolate mascara my mom recently bought me? Well, I love it.

Kirby and I recently went with two of our friends to Beaumont for a day of shopping, and we ended up eating at a place called Chaba Thai. The food was delicious, and I ate way too much of it. I had Green Curry with Tofu, and our friend Missy had Pad Thai with Tofu (both pictured below). Kirby's spicy shrimp dish was pretty great too, but there wasn't a very large window of time for photographing pretty plates since we were all famished (an exaggeration). Lake Charles' lack of a Thai restaurant is a real shame, if you ask me. Also, I've...
A few days ago, I found a recipe for Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread. Dark chocolate and peanut butter are two of my favorite treats, and the two together seemed like something I needed to experience. I had most of the ingredients, so I decided to give it a go. My first mistake was not waiting for the bananas to ripen a little more. My second through seventh mistakes all occurred when I decided to alter the recipe. We only had three bananas,...
This past Sunday, which happened to be Easter Sunday, my friends Allie and Kelly had a few friends over for a potluck brunch. Our gracious hostesses had rice wrappers, rice noodles, lettuce, mint, basil, cilantro, a delicious peanut sauce, and several other spring roll fixings. I wasn't very good at wrapping them (my wrappers kept cracking because I failed to moisten them enough), but eating them came pretty naturally. As silly as it sounds,...
Our friends Jason and Christina came to visit this past weekend, and we decided to make the above deliciousness the night before they left. This might be the most indulgent treat I've shared in a Foody Friday post yet, but I see nothing wrong with occasionally living a little. Using dark chocolate in place of the white could've easily made this snack much smarter (and perhaps tastier if you're a dark chocolate fan like me), but we had an entire box of Baker's white chocolate left over...
I received the most delicious, free, organic, dark chocolate bar in the mail today. I already sort of liked it before I tried it. I'm always up for dark chocolate since it's loaded with antioxidants, and we all know that antioxidants neutralize free radicals. This chocolate bar has fancy ingredients like organic meals from raspberries and cranberries and organic oils from pumpkin seeds, cranberries, and raspberries. It's also made with organic blueberries and organic lemon essential oil. You can definitely taste the lemon, but it's just very subtle and very tasty. I let Kirby and Danielle try it,...
