Hey everyone! How is your day wrapping up? Mine has been ok. Around 4:15 pm I gabbed another bar that was sent to me from the UK.
It was really good! Super crunchy and oaty (hence the name I guess). I wonder if I feel like all the bars from the UK are delicious because I can’t really get them here in the US. Is my mind playing tricks on me?!
Around 4:45 pm around the time I was leaving work, I got a huge headache. Ugh, I knew I couldn’t run with this nasty headache, so I declared today a “rest day”. I even got a ride home from work by a handsome chauffeur!
Oh, I was so thankful for Adam to come and pick me up, the last thing I needed was a ride home on a loud bus full of screaming people. When I got home, I found that Adam had taken down the tree and Christmas decorations and turned on the dishwasher! Go Adam!!!!! When I got home I had a few ounces of tomato juice. For some weird reason, I feel like it always helps a little bit with a headaches. I know it seems crazy, but it works for me. Do you have any “weird” remedies that are your “go to” that other’s think are strange?
I went up to talk to my parents about some wedding stuff and my mom told me her had made a healthier version eggplant rollatini! I was excited to try it. She used fat free ricotta, egg whites and didn’t bread or fry that eggplant. I had to try a rollatini, it was the appetizer for my dinner 
It was awesome!!! I actually like the plan veggie version better than the breaded version, maybe because I love veggies and you can taste the eggplant more.
Dinner was pizza tonight! YAY! Before:
After:
Mine was the side with all the veggie, obvi! It had spinach, asparagus, olives and mushrooms. I ate my whole half it was awesome!
Dessert was decaf black tea with lemon and honey.
Food Should Taste Good Review!!!!!!!
A few weeks ago, Food Should Taste Good sent me four bag of their newer flavors to review. If you read this blog regularly you know how much I love their products. I tend to have more a “salt tooth” and a “sweet tooth” so these chips are a great and healthy option for me when satisfying that craving (but for those of you with a sweet tooth, they actually have some for you too! ). They also come in a variety of different and fun flavors! So, of course I was thrilled they contacted me to review their products! So, let me take you flavor by flavor 
(Please excuse the wrinkled bags someone (Adam) broke into them before I could review them…too excited!)
Potato Chive:
I liked this one a lot. It had a real potato chip taste which is very different than other Food Should Taste Good chips, which usually have more of a corn chip texture and taste. The liked that you could taste the chive but it was not over powering. These would be awesome for the snacker, like me .
Cinnamon:
These are the ones that I said are great for those of you with a a sweet tooth. They are way more like a dessert than a chip. I loooove the strong cinnamon flavor and I loved how sweet they were, it was refreshing and different. All I could think of when tasting them was “PUMPKIN DIP”, these would be awesome with pumpkin dip!
Yellow Corn Chips:
These were Adam’s favorite! He is a little bit of a more conservative eater, he like things more plain. I liked them ok .they would make great nachos, but are a little boring when compared to all the other Food Should Taste Good flavors I have had. These would be great for dips or nachos though…I mean perfect!
Lime:
One word…REFRESHING! I know weird to say about a chip, right? They reminded me of the first sip of an ice cold corona with lime! YUMMMMM! They are a great summer time chip, or for someone who loves summer and wants that taste and feeling all year long. I really liked these. They have a much stronger lime flavor than all the other lime flavored chips I have tried. Hands down the best.
Well, I am going to do a little laundry and get ready for bed. I hope to get a good night’s sleep tonight, that last few nights have not been so great! Sleep tight bloggy friends. I will see you back here in the morning!
Your veggie side of the pizza looks amazing! Food Should Taste Good Products are really yummy, thanks for the review.
By the way, your Save the Dates are super cute!
I love those chips! So yummy! And I LOVE your Tinker Bell mug!!!!
Love your pizza. I always have such a hard time convince my hubby that was can do that. I think he’s afraid my pineapple will leach into his pepperoni. LOL.
HAHAHAHA! So funny! Adam watches me like a hawk when I am adding all the veggies! Olives totally skeeve him out!
Adam is right….Olives are totatlly gross!!!!
Since I make the pizza at our house, Ibelis can’t sneak those nasties onto my perfect pizza….not to mention I put soooo many other veggies on it that there just isn’t room (especially for something so gross).
Dan: It saddens me to see you talk so badly about my beloved olives ;(
I really like the FSTG tortilla chips!!
P.S. Thanks for entering my BUILT Neoprene Lunch Tote giveaway: http://lovinlosing.com/2010/01/05/giveaway-announcement/
Love your healthy pizza- Feel better soon! Nom nom love chips
haha that pizza reminds me of mine! My bf only likes cheese but then I load my side up with stuff. Plain cheese is too boring!
thanks for the chip review girl!
hahah thats exactly what mine and my bfs pizza would look like! i love my veggies!
Hi Ali – Does Adam eat as healthy as you? I’ve been seeing him at the gym lately and he runs like crazy on that treadmill!
LOVE your STDs….the details will drive you insane! Erica did a great job.
McKenzie:
Good Question!
Well, Adam eats in a way that I call “guy healthy”. He tries, but he is a guy, he loves subs, pizza and chicken fingers. Adam is also a SUPER picky eater. He is a little afraid to try things that he didn’t eat growing up. So if his mom didn’t cook it for him as a kid, it is out of the question. Although, recently he has be open to trying new things. Once when he asked me to go for Thai food with him, I almost passed out. But, I would say our eating habits are still VERY different!
Fitness wise, we have a lot of similarities. We are both runners, though he is way more of a treadmill runner and I prefer the good ol’ pavement. I actually hate the treadmill, but will use it if need be. We both love to strength train, which I think is really obvious when looking at Adam
I however, looooove yoga. I have been trying to get Ad to try if for a while, it is the BEST complement to running!
Thanks, I love the STD’s! I actually love working with all the details because I am super detail oriented. However, Erica’s knowledge and creativity are key. She is amazing, and I am so grateful for her help and friendship!
I love the veggie side of that pizza
I love those chips! i’m a big fan of the sweet potato kind.
