Breakfast.
Froth.
Lunch.
Whole wheat pita with faux “tuna” salad and roasted red pepper hummus.
This is a new brand of pitas and I couldn’t be more in love. The fluffier, the better.
Snacks.
Three Sisters Cinnamon Sweets.
Enjoy Life Boom Choco Boom bar.
Do you really not know what this is?
I totally Top Chef marathon-ed it for most of the day. With many chocolate breaks.
How a hippie eats a Reese’s vegan fudge peanut butter cup.
*Note: you may want tea for between bites because this is one rich dessert.
Peel back the wrapper…and dive in with all your taste buds.
Done and done. 🙂
This was one of a dozen or so sources of chocolate consumed in the past 48 hours. I think it may be that time of the month…or maybe I’m just missing my beau (he’s up in WA with his fam). Either way, the chocolate cravings hit and I’m not one to deny myself. So yeah, it happened it’s happening.
Since I can’t for the LIFE of me find the nutcracker toffee dark chocolate theo bar that I fell in love with a few weeks ago, I resorted to the cherry & almond dark chocolate variety.
Oh mamacita, this was good. I guess it’s ok that I can’t find my former flame since I now have a suitable replacement.
And for those who don’t know how to determine which chocolate bars are vegan, don’t be scared off by the sugar or cocoa butter listed in the ingredients. In general, if there is over 70% cacao it is considered vegan. This one is nice enough to say at the end “suitable for vegans.” 🙂
For dinner, I had more than just chocolate believe it or not.
Roasted fingerling potatoes, butternut squash, mushrooms, and meatless meatballs.
All drizzled with this glorious raw nutbutter.
I am finding that everything I make suddenly seems like it would be better when topped with Artisana cashini butter. So, in addition to the roasted veggies, I added cashini butter to some sesame flat bread.
In other non-news, I literally can’t remember the last time I had a salad. Weird. Kinda makes me sad (I like salads).
Note to self, eat more green things. On that note, I’m off to blanch some broccoli. And maybe have another square of dark chocolate. 😉
ok so I am making that pb cup and eating it tonight.. that looks WAY too good to pass on!
I haven’t had a salad in awhile either, but there has definitely been plenty of chocolate. It all balances out in the end- and hey, dark chocolate is actually pretty good for you!!
That peanut butter cup looks amazing! What brand of pita is it? I love pita bread.
I’m on a major chocolate kick too right now! I’d like to blame it on the pregnancy, but in reality – my kids keep bringing it in for me as Christmas gifts (think homemade fudge and dove chocolate squares) – and it just tastes so dang good.
Your chocolate intake is rivaling mine .. I just can’t help it. My Whole Foods is for sure stocked with the Theo gingerbread chocolate bars – I’d be happy to send you a few if you wan!
How great is top chef?! who’s your favorite? i’m a sucker for angelo, haha.
loving the chocolateyness.
Chocolate and tea go so well together eh?
I kind of want to ask for a jar of cashini for Christmas, after seeing its myriad possibilities to make meals more delicious…
Yum, the pumpkin oats and peanut butter cup look amazing. Never tried cashini, but I’m looking for it on my next Whole Foods trip!
that was picture overload on the homemade PB cups…and I LOVED EVERY PICTURE and second of it 🙂 Makes me want to make a few!
Except I have been doing so much baking, i.e. melting chocolate and making chocolate in the microwave, the freezer downhere is STUFFED with goodies! And we really dont “need” anything else.
🙂
i may or may not know where i can get nutcracker toffee and send it to you…
send me yo address ho.
I saw the toffee nutcracker chocolate at REI! Really random location, but it’s there! 🙂
cashini butter, oh my heavens! i know i would love. top chef marathon sounds like a lot of fun. i’m behind this season!
those theo bars sound/look like a dream come true! now i want chocolate and balls. together? sure why not
Just had a genius idea in reading over your post–sesame flat bread + chocolate hazelnut butter. Well, really any kind of fluffy bread with chocolate is always a good thing, right?
Holy.
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!
Where do I start?
So many delicious meals!
😀
really!?!? really?!?!

you can blame anything and everything on being preggo. its a limited time excuse so rock it!
DOOOO it!
they have the theo toffee chocolate bars at the von’s at lincoln and montana, at least they did the last time I was there. but homemade peanut butter cups are not a bad alternative!
