And it’s affecting my desire to work out indoors. Isn’t that bizarre? I made the mistake of wearing my gym shoes today, thinking, “Hey, one less thing to carry!” Thanks to the downpour earlier, my gym shoes are a bit damp. It would be so easy to just go home instead of the gym tonight. [...]

I’m too lazy to put up the link–but just type “Moroccan chickpea” in CookingLight’s search engine and you’ll see the recipe pop up. Review: all in all, pretty tasty, but I expected it to be a lot less soupy than it was. Maybe I didn’t put in enough veggies (highly doubtful) or maybe I should [...]

That’s right, I have moved beyond LARABAR to try out different brands. Today’s test: Kashi GoLean Chewy protein & fiber bar’s chocolate & peanut butter.
At opening: This wrapper seems to be substantially larger than the bar itself. Kashi, why so much extra space?
