Since popcorn is one of my very favorite snacks, I'm almost always looking for ways to fancy it up. I once added white chocolate chips a freshly-made batch, and the melted chocolately goodness completely cancelled out the shame I felt for consuming white chocolate.
Am I proud of that fact? No.
Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.
Anyway, when I saw a recipe for Mexican Popcorn on Shutterbean, I knew that I needed such a snack in...

What you see above is a smoothie that I recently created. It's not just any ol' thrown together smoothie, though. It's a blueberry banana muffin batter smoothie, and it's absolutely delicious.
To make your own, blend the following:
-1/2 cup oatmeal
-3/4 cup almond & coconut milk blend (I used Blue Diamond)
-1 banana
-1 blueberry muffin larabar
-3 cubes of ice
Cheers!
P.S. Have you entered the Sacred Rose Tea giveaway yet? You...

I had PB&J and Coconut Cream Pie Lärabars this past weekend, and they were so delicious that I acquired three more flavors to try in the days following. Go big or go home, right? P.S. Have you guys been following Walmart's ? It's interesting and scary and gross. P.S.S. Would you believe me if I said those weren't my Cheetos in the first picture? They really weren't. Enjoy the holiday weekend, and wear something green if you dislike being pinched. Does...

Somehow I've been successful at avoiding Luna Bars lately, but a girl still needs a midday snack every once in a while...right? That's where Larabars come in. I've only ever tried one or two varieties, but I seem to remember not hating them. Also, they'd probably be right at home in my snack bar shaped pocket inside my schoolbag. How do you feel about Larabars? If you're a fan, then do you have a favorite flavor? The blueberry muffin one is kind of calling my name. You guys have the dreamiest weekend, you...

Did you know that the benefits of cranberries are significantly weakened when the fruit is mixed with sugar? Talk about a letdown. After reading the sad news, I was determined to make a sugar-free cranberry snack. I will not be deprived of the phytonutrients I deserve! Initially I tried just eating the berries raw, but they were seriously too tart to be enjoyable. So last night, with the help of my sweet mom, I made a batch of homemade cranberry stevia lemonade using a recipe for cranberry juice I found. We left...
You guys might not know this about me, but until last night I had never tried brussels sprouts. I'm not an especially picky eater; I might even call myself an adventurous eater...so I'm not sure what took me so long. I knew I had to take the plunge when I saw a recipe on for , and I knew I must do so immediately when I realized we had all the necessary ingredients aside from brussels sprouts....

Kirby, Danielle, and I recently rediscovered the most delicious Greek restaurant in Lake Charles called Toga Grill, and I could probably eat it every day for the next ten years. Falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, tabouli, and moussaka have all found a very special place in my heart. Move over, Mexican. You have some serious...

While on vacation in June, I found the above at T.J. Maxx for only 4 dollars. The ingredients and price were too good to pass up, so I bought them and brought them home as a present for Clementine and Winston (Actually, I think my mom paid for them on the condition that I would tell the dogs they were a gift from their grandmother. She also bought them some natural dry shampoo I'll be reviewing in the near future. She's sweet like that). Anyway, when...
