Although this title was inspired by Alton Brown’s show Good Eats (which I am watching as I type), this evening’s eats were most definitely good. Mr. Brown probably would not have approved of my extremely basic meal but my appetite still isn’t back full force. Thankfully it is coming back. Because I haven’t had much of an appetite, my creativity hasn’t been at its prime so I do admit that my dinner was quite lame. I had a small vegetarian Caesar salad with some balsamic vinegar, grapes, Kashi crackers, and some baby carrots. Not the best meal ever but it satisfied me and that’s what is important…I’m just hoping that I get my full appetite back sooner rather than later.
My nighttime snack, however, was the. best. snack. ever. I decided that I wanted to try a Jocalat bar and it completely blew me away…I tried the chocolate mint flavor tonight. I know it’s not anything like cheese cake but the taste completely reminded me of cheese cake…something about the texture and the subtle sweetness; they are absolutely nothing like a cheap candy bar and everything like a high quality food. I thought that Larabars were amazing, but Jocalat bars blow them out of the water. 1 serving of fruit + vitamins and minerals + chocolate + complete satisfaction of my sweet tooth = best. snack. ever. I also had a kiwi, which was the ending to a great day of happy eating.
The best part about tonight? Tomorrow is Friday!
Did you see the Good Eats about artichokes? Alton made me want to go out and marinate my own artichoke hearts, haha. And that Jocolat bar looks incredible!!
Yay, Friday!!!!! That’s all I got!
Mel, that was the exact episode. It really made me want to marinate artichoke hearts as well!
Tina, I am SO glad that it is Friday
