Chocolate Tasting
Ben and I have so many different kinds of chocolate right now we decided to do a tasting after dinner… We recently bought a MASSIVE bag of different types of dark and milk chocolates from Costco, and my mom sent us chocolate for Easter so I wanted an excuse to eat them all at once. I mean, I wanted to…

My Can of Chickpeas and Asian Slaw
Since I often have chickpeas 365+ days in a row many people ask, “How big is that can of chickpeas you buy?” Answer: It’s almost 7 pounds!!! This is the can of chickpeas I get at Costco next to a “normal” sized can of beans. I’d like to think that this ratio is my love of beans compared to yours……

No Cherry Bomb
I mentioned recently that I’m experimenting with protein powder. I bought a bunch of different flavors before committing to one big container. So far I’ve tried Cherries Jubilee, Chocolate PB and today I tried Strawberry. Cherry is still clearly the best! The strawberry today was disappointing… I added ice, spinach, blubes (hence the color), water and chia seeds. After I…

After a day driving to the coast today we decided to end the day with crab cakes. We spotted a restaurant…

Finally, we spotted this place… I have been craving a good veggie sub on chewy wheat bread for a long time now and I spotted something on…

Eggs and Waffles
Last night I set my alarm for 6:30am. I wanted to knock out 9 miles before Ben and I drove around Maryland. But, we ended up staying up till almost 2am! Let’s just say I hit snooze a few times 😉 I did eventually get up and off on my run. Before I left I had a bowl of Chocolate…

I don’t want to be a hypocrite, but…
I finally caved and bought Chocolate Cheerios. I have picked up the box and put it down 5 times on different shopping trips. I guess 6 times is my limit because today they ended up in my cart (they were on sale too, so that helped). I was so excited to try these for some reason. Must be the…
