Sugar For The Masses

cupcakeHave you ever had a day where you just crave sugary items? You know, the cookies, the chocolates, the brownies and the cakes? You just look at a cupcake and you start salivating. Of course, I prefer the icing rather than the cake itself- unless the cake is chocolate. Can you tell I am a huge lover of chocolate?

I normally do pretty good if I have to go weeks and weeks without eating anything sugary. Dr Pepper doesn’t count- that’s more caffeine than anything (in my opinion, at least). You know when a vampire gets a taste of blood that they haven’t had in a few centuries, they start really needing and wanting the blood? Essentially, it’s about the same thing- minus the fangs and the red ooziness. Is there such thing as a Chocoholic Anonymous club? IF not, there needs to be one! But, I digress! Since it has been a few weeks since I have had a Hersheys chocolate bar, I actually was able to get one! The Heavens sang a sweet tune! Okay, perhaps not. A few hours later, I saw we had mini cupcakes in the fridge. “Holy icing!” is the thought that crossed my mind. I ended up eating one… or two… or three. Bad idea, self. A sugar headache inevitably follows.

One word (or several) of advice: Eat other foods when chowing down on those delicious brownies!

Organic Food=AWESOME!

I have been raised on processed foods as well as junk food. What can I say? It tastes wonderful! However, a few days ago I had the chance to try Bob’s Red Mill Muesli. I must say, it tasted great! It had oats, grain, dried dates (not humans- the fruit!), raisins and almond slivers in it. It could be used as oatmeal or cold cereal. Now, I had no milk and I was too lazy to heat up a cup of water- so I hate it out of the bag. Wowee! I had never been so addicted to something 100% organic. Of course, it was my sister’s bag, so I couldn’t exactly steal it from her. Anyways, I’ve never had dates before, and now, I love them! If they were so darn expensive I’d buy some… not that I would know how to cook/serve/eat them.
Seeing as I don’t live an organic lifestyle, I may have to incorporate a little more of it into how I live. Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to still eat cottage cheese from the bowl bought at Wal-Mart and drink my Dr PepperĀ  (Gene Simmons from KISS makes Dr Pepper Cherry look cool!). I do, however, have to wonder how organic chocolate tastes. Is there such a thing?

So, if anyone has suggestions, my stomach is keeping an open mind! I now love organic food. Yippee!!!
