The PERFECT Mid Day Pick-Me-Up


Whenever I'm past the peak of my day and I need a little bit of a boost my favorite thing to reach for in the fridge is an ice cold PEPSI! I realize pop isn't necessarily the best thing for you, but to me there is nothing that is more refreshing and delicious as a can of Pepsi. It gives me that little jolt of energy I need to get through the rest of my day, while having the taste of perfection.

Favorite Weekend Treat!


In my opinion Breakfast is BY FAR the best meal of of the day! It not only gets you off on the right foot, but it also contains the most delicious choices. My favorite breakfast item to make and to eat is chocolate chip pancakes. They're pretty much the best thing EVERRRR! Considering I don't get up early enough to actually prepare pancakes during the week, I love to make them on the weekends. All you have to do is treat them like you would just regular pancakes, but after you've poured the batter onto your skillet add a few or a lot of chocolate chips on top of your cooking circles, and there you have it! The perfect pick-me-up to get your day started off right!

I love chocolate, but these are AWESOME!!!


If you have ever had the opportunity to eat a Panera, you are lucky! If you've ever had the chance to indulge in a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel, I think you're even luckier!!! These bagels are thee best thing to eat if you're craving something light and sweet. A Cinnamon Crunch Bagel is cinnamon and vanilla chips flavor in the dough, topped with a sweet, crunchy shell of cinnamon & sugar. So, the next time you want to try something different to start your day off right, head over to Panera and eat a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. If you want to make it even more delicious add one of the scrumptious spreads.

The BEST!


Do you want to get fancy and creative? Try making chocolate fondue! It's probably one of the easiest and most delicious things you can make. All you need are some chocolate chips and whipping cream (found in your grocers dairy section)! If you add a few chocolate chips and some whipping cream over low heat on a stove, the chocolate and whipping cream combine into a delicious creamy substance. From there you can get anything to dip in it...strawberries, bananas, pound cake, or pretzels. Pretty much anything that tastes good with chocolate. It may sound a little complicated, but it's really quick and easy if you want to spice up your evening with a delicious dessert!

Surprise!


The other day I was shopping at Wal-Mart and I saw that they had their Easter candy aisle set up. Of course my curiosity set in, so I decided to take a gander at what they had. Well, I came across Reeses's Peanut Butter Cup Eggs. (Reeses's candy in the shape of an egg for Easter.) I love Reeses, but these were something totally different. I can't really describe how delicious they were, but if you have a chance to try one, please do so! I don't know if it's a little bit more peanut butter than the average Reese's or what, but it was definitely a sweet surprise!

Never Dissapointed!



I can't say enough great things about Thin Mint cookies. It is sad to think they can only be purchased at certain times during the year, when the Girl Scouts decide to let the public have them! BUT, these have always been a wonderful and delicious treat. They're fairly light and are a great dessert to have with a sandwich at lunch. They're especially delicious when you store them in the refrigerator it gives them that extra oomph of freshness! So, if you like cookies and like a chocolate and mint flavor, these are a great snack.
