myoplex carb control
I’m usually pretty skeptical about protein bars, due to a bad experience with a Clif Body Builder’s bar. But I couldn’t resist the idea of 25 grams of protein in single bar! Note: This may not be impressive for those of you who regularly pump iron, but for my 5′2 frame, 25 grams is a [...]

the elvis
Amy’s has never failed me, but tonight I discovered something exceptional. Last night Patrick and I were at Amy’s as well, and I just got a tiny scoop of Mexican Vanilla. Dark chocolate with strawberries is another one of my favorites, but I have a new top pick now. Tonight we went back because Patrick [...]

donuts?!
Aside from the VERY occasional donut hole I steal from Patrick’s apartment, I haven’t had a donut in years. However, on Tuesday I had such a strong craving for a dense, chocolate, donut that I just had to give in. Life is about giving in and enjoying these things, right? Right.
So Weds at around noon [...]

pria 110 plus
I was drawn to the energy bars section at HEB last night for no particular reason when I found these bars. At first I wasn’t too enticed; I was too busy awing over the monstrosity of the body building bars with a bazillion grams of protein. I threw one in my cart and didn’t realize [...]

Uh… don’t come here. I almost don’t want to say any more, but I guess I should explain why you shouldn’t eat here. Its just not very good. Ok I’ll be more specific.
First, I will cut them a little slack, as I was there Valentine’s evening, one of the busiest, if not busiest times for [...]

capers!
I used to think these weird green balls were kind of gross, but I’ve grown to appreciate the salty and sour buds quite a bit now that my palate has matured (or at least I think my palate has matured some).
I only recently learned what capers really are- immature buds from a bush native to [...]

rice krispies
I’ve recently rediscovered Rice Krispies Treats, which, I am well aware, is not a diet food, healthy snack, or fancy dessert of any sort. But they’re delicious. I made some homemade ones for treats to give out during Halloween (+ orange M&Ms) and Christmas (+ Christmas variety M&Ms), but I did it the lazy way [...]

fresca
I think its way overdue that I write a post in honor of my beloved Fresca. This beverage encompasses everything I look for to wet a parched throat- bubbly, citrus-y, caffiene free, calorie free; what more could you want? The citrus flavor hides the taste and aftertaste of the sugar substitutes that I find more [...]

girlscout cookies
As I’ve gotten older, its been harder to find Girl Scouts because they don’t just appear at school anymore, which is unfortunate for me because then I have to go driving around in a mad search for them. I will admit though, I’m not nearly as crazy about them as I was a few years [...]

chocolate chex!
Omg this stuff rocks my world (which right now consists of linear systems homework and studying for a developmental biology test tomorrow). I found this by accident at HEB today; I was really looking for the Hershey’s 100 calorie chocolate pretzels pack (which I never found but thats totally ok because I’m sure this is [...]
