Apparently, Wednesdays are my “be really busy until really late, and have no time to blog at night” days! Last night, I was lucky enough to be selected to be part of a focus group talking about trends in one of my favorite things: shoes!
It went from 6p.m. to almost 8, but before I got there, I had the pleasure of eating one of my favorite non-fast quick foods: Chipotle! With my new eating plan focusing on using NO grains and healthy fats, I ordered a bowl with carnitas, veggies, extra salsa, guacamole and lettuce. The picture is stuck on my phone at the moment… I’ll add it later, I promise!
I got a few more questions to answer!
When is a good time? I didn’t know where to go with this one. A good time for what? If you meant “what do I think is a good time” as in a fun time, I’d say any time when I’m surrounded by good friends!
Do you make money off your blog? If so, how much? I do make a small amount of money off my blog, but due to FoodBuzz’s confidentiality agreement, I’m not at liberty to discuss how much, but let’s just say that blogging does not put me in any sort of financial situation where I could say, quit my day job. I get just about enough to cover one grocery shopping trip, sometimes.
What’s your favorite part of every day? Why? **cheeseball alert** My very favorite part of any day is when I get home and am greeted by Adam with a hug. That’s when I really know I’m home and can relax.
If you could choose 6 things to bring with you and your hubby on a deserted island, what would those 6 items be? I’ve always been terrible at these deserted island questions, because I try to cheat. I’d say “a huge generator and my house with everything in it.” That’s not going to work. Ok, six things:
- My camera. I have to be able to take pictures of things!
- A small propane grill with extra canisters. I gotta be able to cook, and I can cook most anything on a grill.
- My favorite pillow. I can sleep just fine without a blanket, but without a good pillow, I just can’t get the right rest.
- Burt’s Bees lip balm. If you use it, you know why. If not, go get some! It’s the best!
- Our pets. Technically there are 3 of them, but they’re one entity. They’re like our children and I couldn’t bear to leave them!
- A first aid kit, for obvious reasons.
See you tonight for a fun restaurant post! I’m a judge in our regional spelling bee, so I get to go out for dinner! Or should that be D-I-N-N-E-R?
Stuff to do:
- Check out Jenn’s ICBINB giveaway! And speaking of Jenn, make sure to vote for her and Bobby in the Crate & Barrel Ultimate Wedding contest!
- Are you going to this year’s Healthy Living Summit? It’s going to be in Chicago!! More details are going to be announced soon!
- Email me your Cute Food Contest submissions! They must be cute food YOU’VE made, and the contest will start on February 25!
Have a great Thursday!

I am so hoping to go to the HLS and we can finally meet up!!
I am so excited that the HLS is in Chicago, it’s one of my favorite cities! I have family in Evanston and I love visiting them.
I love that you can get Chipotle on the new plan! That’s awesome. avocados are such a great source of healthy fats and you can’t beat Chipotle’s guacamole!!!
My mom and stepdad live in Evanston!!
I’ve only been to Chipolte once in NYC, but I loved it! Good luck with omitting grains from your diet, I just couldn’t do it, I love them too much.
lol

I want to go to the HLS!!! I think I would me semi-scared to sign up to go though. I’ve never met any bloggers in ‘real life’, lol.
OMG Blogger meet ups are awesome!! You totally have to come in for it
i LOVE that burts made your list!
Oh man I’m the same way about Burts. Sometimes on Sunday’s at J’s parents’ house we like to watch The Newlywed game and “play” along by keeping our answers to the questions silent and letting our partner guess when the show is revealing. One the week before was “If your wife had to leave her purse at home and only bring ONE thing from it, what would it be?” Not only did J immediately guess Burt’s Bees for me – but so did his brother and sister. Guess my addiction is pretty noticable?! hahaha
There’s a give away on my blog too! Head on over!
