Does Anything Beat Free Cookies?
Posted: June 30, 2011 Filed under: Breakfasts, Lunches, Snackage, Sweet Fixes 6 Comments »I thought I had the most ingenious plan for breakfast.
I’d whipped together plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of Acai powder for a sweet/tart flavoring, thrown on plenty of toppings and photographed away…
…Only to dream of yesterday’s dessert as I was eating it!
I may or may not have “sold” my contact information to SunTrust bank in exchange for the goods…but oh how good it was!
The moment of ecstasy from the free chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness will be worth the countless phone calls and fliers that I’m sure I’ll receive in the near future!
Also in the {very} near future: Chelsey’s vegan egg salad!
I stole a few spoonfuls from the batch I made last night as I was assembling my sandwich, and I can already vouch for its deliciousness.
Is it lunchtime yet?
And more importantly, will CookieTrust be back in my building’s lobby anytime soon?
Raw Balsamic Zucchini “Pickles”
Posted: June 28, 2011 Filed under: Snackage, Vegan Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes 8 Comments »I really, really hate pickles. I hate them so much that I legitimately worry about my future pregnancy cravings.
Before you even ask, I have a LONG time before that even comes into play!
That’s not to say that during certain times of the month (ahem), there’s nothing I want more than a briny, salty and crunchy snack.
Enter my new favorite summer munchie: raw balsamic zucchini “pickles.”
All of the tang with none of the actual pickle-ness? (And none of the babies, thank you very much?) I’m in love!

I wonder what would come of a zucchini relish…
Do you ever get random cravings for foods you know you dislike? Do you go with it or try to find an alternative?
