Veg Week Becomes Veg Month!

Hey guys,
I haven't been on in a while, but I thought I'd share my New Year's Resolution with you now that it's that time of year. So do you remember Veg Week? I had the video diary and everything...
Well I've decided my 2011 resolution is to be vegetarian for at least one month! I think I can do it...mmm bacon, hamburgers...snap out of it! It may be hard, but I'm willing to try and maybe go for longer. I'll decide what I want to do at the end of January. I don't plan on doing a video log, but I'll keep you posted. I hope I can inspire some people (who aren't already vegetarian) to make a change with me.

Happy New Year and always add a pinch of love!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, peoples!
I'm a day late but I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving. (I know I did!) Usually I'm not exactly inclined to feast because I'm naturally a light eater, but this year I pigged out to the farthest extent I could: turkey, cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato chunks, collard greens, pumpkin pie...the whole shebang. It was awesome! I can't wait for Christmas/Hanukkah! I love the holidays. Thanksgiving pics coming soon!

Always add a pinch of love!

Happy Halloween!

Hey everybody,
Isn't Halloween THE BOMB!?? You get free candy from people you don't even know!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I love it! I made a quiz "What is your favorite candy?" and I'll be eager to hear what you all think. Personally, I <33333 CHOCOLATE!!!!! MWAHAHAHHA...anyway, always add a pinch of love! Happy Halloween!

STARBUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY!!! WOW has it really been this long since I posted???! That's crazy!!! Well I'm posting now!!! And I sound reeeeeeally hyper because...I LOVE STARBUCKS!!!!!!! HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, IT. IS. AWESOME. Here are my top 4 drinks (in no particular order) that each and every one of you MUST get!!!!!!!!!! (Sorry for all the hyperness again--hyperness?)

-Chai latte (hot)
-White chocolate mocha (hot/cold)--available decaf
-Pumpkin spice latte--available decaf
-Hot chocolate infused with peppermint

These drinks have little or no coffee so if you don't like it that much these drinks are still for you. And if you're WILD about coffee like I am, then basically ANYTHING at Starbucks, you would LOOOOOOVE! Starbucks is awesome and worth the price!!!

GO TO STARBUCKS! NOW!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE WEARING OR WHAT TIME IT IS!!! STARBUCKS MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO GO GO!!!!!!



And remember, always add a pinch of love!

The Hi's and Lo's of Frost Valley

Hello everyone! I am back from camp and I had a great time. I'm writing this post to inform you of the really good (and reeeally bad) foods at Frost Valley. At camp, I kept a diary of the different foods and their ratings from 1-5 on my scale, 1 being worst and 5 being best. I'm not sharing ALL the ratings with you but I will inform you of the best and worst food. Here it is:

BREAKFAST--WORST FOODS
French toast with fake maple syrup - 2.5/5: The French toast had NO flavor whatsoever and it was dry while the maple syrup was water-thin and too sweet to be real.

Home fries - 2/5: They had no flavor and were really dry, like the French toast.

BREAKFAST--BEST FOODS
Life cereal - 4.5/5: The cereal at camp is the same kind that you would get at the store, so it tastes pretty good. Life cereal is everyone's favorite for some reason; probably because it's sweet and light.

Hash browns - 4.5/5: These are a lot better than the home fries because they are great with ketchup and they're crispy/a little oily. They're basically almost the same as the hash browns at Dunkin' Donuts, if you've ever had those.

Cheerios - 4.5/5: I love Cheerios so much!!! I don't know why but they never get old. Plus they're really good dry!

Oatmeal - 4.5/5: It may be sort of surprising to see that oatmeal ranks as one of the best breakfast foods at camp, but it really was good! The soups and hot cereals at Frost Valley are remarkable and homemade.

LUNCH--WORST FOODS
Guess what? There are NO bad lunch foods in my journal! Hard to believe, but true. So I'll move on to:

LUNCH--BEST FOODS
Meatball sandwich on hot dog bun - 4.5/5: This was like a meatball sub: meatballs with tomato sauce on a hot dog bun. It was so simple but so delicious.

Chicken Fajitas - 5/5: Often considered the best food at Frost Valley, these fajitas truly are amazing, with sauteed chicken and bell peppers, seasoned sweet corn, seasoned rice, salsa, sour cream, cheese, and whatever else you want piled high inside a tortilla. Mmmmmmmmm!

Pizza - 4.8/5: The pizza at camp is surprisingly really good. I'm 99% positive that they're just frozen pizza but the pizza is delicious.

Minestrone Soup - 4.5/5: Like I said, there are no bad soups at Frost Valley.

Hamburgers - 4.5/5: The hamburgers tasted like normal food! Plus camp offered condiments such as ketchup that made them taste even better.

Tomato Soup - 4.75/5: This soup was steaming hot, almost a little spicy, and was thick. Best tomato soup I've EVER had, and that's in comparison to CAMPBELL'S!

Tacos - 4.8/5: These were exactly the same as the fajitas, and the only reason they aren't a 5 is because the taco shells were sorta stale.

Hot dogs - 4.75/5: Some of the best hot dogs I've ever had were actually found at camp?! Yes, it's true. The hot dogs at Frost Valley don't taste "risky," if you know what I mean.


This is a lottt of writing for one post, so I'll write dinner and dessert in a separate one. That's the food so far at Frost Valley! Keep viewing Food For Thought.
