Every now and again, we come across a website with such a good idea, we feel the need to sing praises of it from the hills of Bloggywood. This time it comes in the form of completely customizable candy bars. A few folks got together and thought, "Why not let the general public create their very own sweet, chocolaty inventions?" Enter: Chocomize. We've had fun today coming up with a few of our own, some ridiculous, some delicious, but we want to know what you can think of!
Alright, so this is the recipe we were going to post on Monday night. Seeing as how it is now Wednesday, and you should try something a little more adventurous, whip up a batch of tartlets. We heard they go great with Idol.
There's a semi-hilarious commercial on the airwaves currently where a group of friends have gathered at a greasy spoon, each "dude" ordering a whopping burger, save for one. Seems this bloke wants a grilled cheese, much to the chagrin of his manly contingent. It comes with a child's place mat, complete with maze and other fun activities. Great, right? Well, not if you're trying to impress the cute blond at the neighboring table. The commercial then turns into an ad for a new adult sized grilled cheese sandwich at a fast food chain, but you don't have to wait in a drive thru for your own grown up grilled cheese. Try this double-decker and show them who's boss.
There's not much better than take out food. Delivery is good too, but at least when you go pick up something, you feel like you at least earned it a little. There's a Thai place near us that has the best take out food, and we've deemed this Monday night an appropriate night to go grab some. However, since you're most-likely not near the same place, we suggest you make some of your own Pad Thai and join us in deliciousness.
Whole Foods, or at least the location on Colorado Blvd., is having a blowout sale on their fresh salmon. It was upwards of $13/lbs, but right now you can grab some of the delicious fish for a cool $8.99/lbs. If that's not a deal, at Whole Foods or anywhere else, we'd sure like to know what you consider a "deal." While you're at the market, pick up some nori, fresh mint leaves, sushi rice, and asparagus for tonight's hand rolls.
What's better on a cold Winter night than a healthy portion of a spicy dish? Add a little must-see-TV, a good romantic comedy, a quality book, or maybe just some dim lights and soft music and you've got a recipe for a perfect week night. In fact, that sounds akin to Heaven at the moment. While you decide which activity sounds the best for this cold Tuesday, we'll go ahead and offer some chicken enchiladas as the eats for the evening.
We've posted a variety of "healthed-up" french fry recipes, but we thought, "Hey, one more never hurt anyone." Besides, a guilt-free take on a classic comfort food is always welcomed. And when you drizzle a little balsamic on them? Man, you're in for a treat.
If you have a weak stomach or perhaps subscribe to the montra that ignorance is bliss, we suggest you read on with caution. But if you're interested in knowing exactly what you're putting into your body when you eat, read on...perhaps still with caution.
Our intent is not to ruin some of your favorite foods, as most all of the foods on this list are available without the additives here.
This may surprise you, but did you know that:
