Remember that one time when the weather was perfect and it felt like there was no temperature? Oh yeah, that was today! I love days like there where the wind is still and the temperature is just right, and you don’t think it’s hot or cold or too windy or too sunny. Just right 🙂
Lunch today was 1/3 cup of the leftover mac & cheese from dinner last night:
And a small low & slow sweet potato with Stubb’s BBQ sauce for dipping:
I ate all but a couple of rounds because I was full! I also took a picture of this guy that I got on our trip last year through the US & British Virgin Islands:
Seriously, Duffy’s Love Shack was face-rocking awesome, and they give you all sorts of free toys! I keep this up as a reminder of how relaxed I was on that trip and hoping that it rolls into everyday life 🙂
A few weeks ago I received some blueberry SoyJoy bars from Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker Program to try out. I was so excited because I’d never had one and had heard mixed reviews!
Y’all, the flavor of these is SPOT ON, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the texture, and found it a little too crumbly and dry. The nutritional stats were OK, but I also felt like the bar was a little small to have as many calories as it had. If you’re a fan of the texture (this is assuming you’ve tried SoyJoy bars before), you’ll love this because the blueberry flavor was perfect!
In other snacking news, there were some fabulous Lindt chocolates by the printer today!
What you see is merely a shell that’s covering the rich, tangy, creamy, dark chocolate filling inside. HOLY OHMIGOSH DELICIOUS!
In case you’re new, or in case I haven’t drilled it in hard enough, I adore dark chocolate. This made me close my eyes in sheer pleasure. Guess that just goes to show that you should never underestimate the astounding flavor of a printer snack!
Tonight’s random question comes from my sweet and absolutely hilarious husband! Finish this sentence: Remember that one time in High School…? His answer? “Me and the boys went camping in my buddies’ back yard. We felt like we were at the lake because his pool had turned green and tree branches were all over the place in it. We even had a campfire and peed outside.” Hahaha, how adorable is that? Here’s mine: “Remember that time in high school when we were all so afraid of running outside on the track for volleyball practice that the entire volleyball team developed IBS almost instantaneously?” That might be too much info, but hey, you guys have to know where I came from, right? 😉

Lindt chocolate is so good 🙂
Tina says
Remember that one time in high school when we had a huge food fight out in the culdesac? And then weren’t able to get it all cleaned up. Oops! LOL
What a fun question!

Blech!! SoyJoy bars are yucky. Dark Chocolate…oh yeah, I’m all over that!! Remember that one time in High School when my parents when out and I had some friends over and we drank the whole bottle of Amaretto and refilled it with watered down iced tea and apple juice? Good times!! 😉

Oh my goodness, you are too funny! I love your posts 🙂
I could jump into my mac right now and eat that frickin chocolate!
Have a great day Doll!
XXOO
Jenna @ Healthy. Happy. Well. says
SoyJoy bars are too expensive for what you get—dried oatmeal tasting fruitiness. I prefer a lara bar any day. Just reading dark chocolate is making me crave it!

here is one tha tinvolves you….Remember that time in High School when you took Kelsey and I to Midnight with you and we were on our way to the brisket place dt and Kelsey and I did the “special smile” (aka the one you do just in case there is something in your teeth) and you looked back and n 5 seconds all three of us were pretty much just cracking up on the ground.
Salah says
Remember that time in High School when Kelsey and I decided to go to Wal Mart and buy a massive cake, animal crackers, funfetti frosting, cookies, oreos, sodas, candy…just everything sweet in sight (and yes, this was all just for the 2 of us that night)…and then went back to her house and watched an entire season of Golden Girls. 🙂
Meg @ Be Fit Be Full says
I love me some Stubb’s!
Remember that one time in High School when we stole vodka from my friends parents and then refilled the bottle with water?

Lindt makes the best chocolate

HA, I grew up in STT and worked at Duffy’s all through college so I was super excited to see a pic of an “attitude adjuster!” So glad you enjoyed your time in the islands!
I guess my island upbringing also informs my answer to your question – Remember that one time in HS when we cut photography class and drove to the bar down the street to take Jager shots! Gooooood times 😀

The weather here was soo perfect today, too! I have so many “Remember that time”s that I could go for days. I’ve been known to be a WEE bit goofy!
Ilana says
Remember that one time in high school…um… can’t even finish this one, too many incriminating stories!
I have a “Be Happy” sticker from the USVI that’s chillin over my desk…always reminds me to smile!

You are sooo lucky with your weather today. It has been MISERABLE rainy muck in MO for the past couple days and is supposed to continue through the weekend!! YUCK!
Anna says
lol– that’s a fun game…I’m trying to think about one, but I’ll have to keep thinking!!
I’m not a big fan of soy joy bars…but I wouldn’t turn down a free one 🙂

Remember that time in high school when my friends and I stole (I know, horrible!) a pack of Boone’s Fuzzy Navel to drink. Yeah, it did nothing and it tasted gross. 🙂
TheKetchupDiaries says
Remember that time in high school when the boy I had the BIGGEST crush on walked by and my friend yelled, “Hey, Lindsay has something to tell you…” and I was left standing there. I was a freshman and it was traumatic. Haha.

I am NOT a fan of SoyJoy bars.. blech. But that chocolate, oh yes!!
Remember that time in high school my best friend got “drunk” aka on a sugar high from lemonade and was dancing in the hallway while I laughed uncontrollably and people thought we were insane?
Katie @ Health for the Whole Self says
I do not like the texture of those SoyJoy bars at all…like you said, too dry and crumbly. Bleck.
Remember that one time in high school when we were running sprints at field hockey practice, and our crazy coach unleashed her deranged dog on us to make us run faster? Yeah, not so fun!
Emily says
I recognize the book that your SoyJoy bar is sitting on! 🙂
Kelly says
Remember that one time in high school when my best friend pulled my pants down while I was kissing my boyfriend afterschool! ACK!
