All honorable intentions of whipping up a delectable pasta feast tonight completely flew out the window when I found this in my mailbox,
and these in my pantry.
Because ten minutes later I found myself with this…
and a whole lot of these missing. Whoops.
Well, that’s all over with now, but let me at least tell you about ‘em!
Earlier this week I got an email from Lindsay at Balance It Out. She had received a HUGE order of Glo Bars and, would I like to try some? Would I like to try some??? Of course I’d like to try some!
Three days later I had myself an assortment of 100% vegan, organic, cholesterol free, dairy-free, egg-free & trans fat free Glo Bars (with some Barney Butter samples, to boot!) sitting right on my kitchen counter!
I know – that’s a lot of frees. But I’ve seen these bars around blogland for awhile now, and everybody seems to think they’re the bees knees.
As I was pawing around, checking out all the flavors Lindsay included, I lifted up a Cranberry Apricot Spelt bar, only to find…
a S’more with Homemade Graham Crackers bar!!!
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!
I immediately tore open the package and sunk my teeth into the sweet & chewy bar. It was still warm from sitting in the mailbox, which made it seem like I was actually eating a s’more! Albeit one laced with flaxseeds and organic marshmallows – but still! Two thumbs up – can’t wait to try the other flavors. THANKS LINDSAY!
Ok…the chips. These Terra a la Mexican chips have been taunting me from the pantry all week and today was the day I finally broke. Willpower is not an infinite power, unfortunately!
This bag of Terra chips contains a blend of root vegetables that are simply, to die for.
Each chip is perfectly coated with zesty spices like garlic, cheddar cheese and black bean powder,
and the bag is PACKED with foldovers. The most coveted chip in the bag. You know you love ‘em. I love ‘em a lot and before I knew it a good portion of the bag was gone and I had stained spice fingers. Oof.
In happier news – here’s my watch that I’ve been rocking lately! Several of you have asked about it, and I happen to be wearing it today, so here you go.
I got it from the worlds best department store, in my opinion, Von Maur. Love that place! Interest free credit card, anyone?
I’m off to drink water to sooth my belly. S’mores and chips? Ugh!
Have a good night!

How strong is your willpower?
I’m notorious for having terrible WP, which is why I usually don’t keep big bags of chips or gallons of ice cream in the house. Single sized servings are my friend!
