let's talk grilled cheese sammies!

i just have to tell you that while in cooperstown, i had THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE (sorry mom)!!!!!!!

first of all... look at the size of the freaking bread!!!!!!!! screw no carbs, i was all over this thing!

that is seriously the THICKEST bread i've ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!

but look at this thing. oh.em.gee. doesn't it look amazing?!?!! and i haven't even opened it yet!

OH DEAR GOD! for the love of all that is holy, LOOK AT ALL THAT CHEESE!!!!! and it's white cheese! white american cheese! i've never had a grilled cheese with white american cheese before. *dies*

that freaking grilled cheese was literally the best i've ever had in my life! has diners, drive in and dive's been to this diner in cooperstown?! if they haven't, they should go. like now.

i mean NOW.

oh yeah, and bring me with em.

trying to lose weight by summer?

cause really, isn't that a huge topic of conversation on a daily basis between women (and yeah, some of you guys too)? i feel like i'm constantly battling these "last 10 pounds"... and with summer coming up- and the fact that i like to get tan and wear shorts... well..

yeah.

so my girlfriend from high school, kim... she's been trying to get me to try this weight loss stuff she's been doing. and let me tell you, she's crazy skinny lately. she blames her new diet plan. i blame crack. :)

she insists that it's fabulous and even though i honestly only feel like i have 6 pounds that i want to lose, i still want it gone! (because i'm 6 pounds heavier than i was last summer.. and let me tell you that those 6 pounds have all camped out in my ass and upper thighs) i know 6 pounds isn't much.. but it is a lot when it all resides within one area of my body. 6 pounds BE GONE!

so she offered to send me 3 days worth of product for me to try out! and well, i'm not one to turn down shit that could help me look even hotter than i already do, so i said YES! then she almost made my cry when she ran down the laundry list of items she'd be sending me. (i mean, i was super overwhelmed in the same way i got overwhelmed the first time i started using a 3 step face wash system for my face at night... I HAVE TO USE THREE STEPS?! IN ORDER?! OH MY GAWD, I'LL NEVER GET IT RIGHT!!!) but then when i got everything in the mail, it all made way more sense. :) and even though she sent me a little bit of everything, i only used what i would use if i had bought it myself. basically, the main componant is the shakes that you drink for either 2 meals a day, or 1. i was totally on board. i mean, that's soooo slim fast-ish to me, and i loved slim fast, so i'm down with shakes for meals. ha

anyway, this stuff is called body with vi.. maybe you've heard of it? seems pretty popular lately.. i did a twitter search and it's all over that thing! so, i did 2 shakes a day, for 3 days. one for breakfast and one for lunch. the shakes come in a pouch that is one flavor (sweet cream) and it smells like vanilla frosting when you open it. *swoon* i put the first one in orange juice for breakfast and it was surprisingly good (i was honestly scared with my first sip)! i really, really liked it. but since i couldn't get past the whole vanilla frosting smell (and i feel like frosting belongs in milk & not juice) i bought some non-fat milk and used that for my lunch shake. EVEN better!!! it really was super yummy. reminds me a lot of vanilla slim fast shakes, which i LOVE! but with this stuff, you can put it in pretty much anything. soy products, yogurt, fruit and ice and then blend it.... i stuck with the milk for the 3 days. cause it was so dang good.

she also sent me these energy flavor packet things you can put in your water. i fell in love with that stuff. they were so good and i loved how i felt after. i totally noticed a difference. plus, it's fun to feel like you're drinking something OTHER than water for once. i'm such a freaking water whore, but it does get boring.

did i lose any weight in 3 days, you're probably wondering? i didn't. but in all honesty, my body takes longer than a mere 3 days to lose anything. i plan on ordering a set of the shakes because in the summer- i lose my appetite and i struggle with what to eat for lunch almost everyday. i'm not always very hungry, but i know i need to eat and nothing ever sounds good. the shakes will be easy, quick, yummy and filling. i think they'll be perfect. and then if they help me lose weight, EVEN BETTER!!!

so yeah. if you've tried body with vi, i'd love to hear about how it was for you. and if you haven't, but you're intrigued.. check out my girlfriends website here. you can email her and ask her any questions. she's super knowledgeable and helpful. and if you order, i hope you'll help her out and order from her. you can ask me anything too. but you already know that. :)

dear little league snack shack

i realize the entire world is obsessed with becoming "healthy" ... eating "healthy" foods.. and pushing "healthy" products down everyone's throats....

but i'm sorry, no one in their right mind is expecting "healthy" foods when they visit their local little league snack shack (this isn't to say that healthy options should not be a part of the menu.. they totally should. yay for healthy shit.)

so, when y'all told me yesterday that you replaced the nacho cheese sauce for your nachos with "all natural" and "healthier" shredded cheese that you melt in a microwave... well.. i was kinda pissed. if i wanted shredded cheese on my chips, i could buy that shit and do it myself at home. when i buy nachos from a snack shack, i want CHEESE SAUCE. CHEESE. SAUCE. i don't want shredded cheese. i don't want stupid cheese that tastes like crap when you melt it. i want fake cheese that comes in a can, that you heat up, and drip all over my chips.

see, that's what nachos are.

they are unhealthy chips, with an even unhealthier cheese like substance drenched all over it. and that's how i like my nachos. that how most kids like their nacho's. that's what the world expects when you ask for nachos at a snack bar! am i right, or am i right?!?!?! (or maybe i'm just a nacho nazi?)

i think the worst part was that the person working in the snack shack.... she actually told me that if they sold the nachos with that cheese sauce in a can, she'd have to pass out cholesterol pills with each one. seriously? and then she went on some rant about how the cheese in a can is SO BAD for you.. and that the real cheese is so much better.. blah blah, who gives a shit?!?!

shouldn't that be my choice? shouldn't i get to decide how i want my nachos? i mean, i appreciate the concern and all.. but.. wait. no i don't. actually, i don't appreciate the concern. not at all.

and in all honesty, if they're all so concerned about selling things that are good for you, and not putting bad stuff in your bodies.... then why the hell are they selling soda's and candy bars???? oh yeah, cause shit loads of sugar is totally acceptable. kids can eat candy, bubble gum, chips, ice cream, and wash all that shit down with a sugar filled soda... but heaven forbid they eat fake cheese!!!!!!

oh well, that's what taco bell is for. i love taco bell. LONG LIVE CHEESE SAUCE!!!!!!!!

best.ice.cream.ever.

okay, i'm not a HUGE ice cream fan. i mean, i do love me some peanut butter and chocolate ice cream from baskin robbins, but it's not even the ice cream i like. i just like the swirls of peanut butter in there and it's pretty much all i eat. boyfriend will open the top and there it all sits, a ton of chocolate ice cream with no peanut butter chunks to be found.

i'm selfish that way.


but not too long ago i tried this ice cream right here. three twins organice ice cream.

and holy crap, my mouth exploded from all the goodness!!!!! that freaking ice cream was LITERALLY, the best ice cream i'd ever tasted in my life. i never even knew ice cream could taste like that. the flavors... the vanilla.. the chocolate chips.. THE VANILLA!!!! omg, they were just so pure and so rich, but not overwhelming sweet. it was what i imagine heaven would taste like.. if heaven's clouds were made of vanilla ice cream.

i have no idea if this ice cream is sold where you live. i have no idea if this ice cream is even sold where i live. ha! but if it is, you have to look for it. you have to try it. trust me. your mouth will thank you. and you'll never want any other kind of ice cream again.

this post was brought to you by my ass.. which is currently growing as i stuff my face with their cookies & cream flavor. if i could die from vanilla goodness, this would certainly do the trick.

what's your favorite ice cream?
