Current obsessions!

I thought I'd put together a list of current food obsessions. If you have any to add, let me know!

As a chocoholic, I always appreciate some good healthier alternatives to get my fix.

In steps Frosted Mini Wheats Little Bites (chocolate).

These are basically like healthy cocoa puffs. These are amazing in milk (or soymilk for me) or fantastic straight out of the box. I promise you won't be disappointed!

To continue on this chocolate kick...

These are probably the tastiest things I've had in a looonnngggg time!

These are my vitamins... I take them daily.

With only 180 calories for 3 of these babies... I am spent!

Who needs fake alternatives for cravings? Just get these and put your brownies where your mouth is!

These are perfect straight from the refrigerator or frozen. Mine are currently in my freezer ;)

To go on to another group of food entirely... CHEESE!

Enters Kraft Cracker Cuts...

Not only are these delicious, but they also offer a decent caloric bang for the bucks.

100-120 calories (for full fat version) for 3 of these cuts.

I defintiely suggest these over eating Cheez-its ( even though I LOVE me some Cheez-its) because of the high amounts of MSG in those scrumptious cheese crackers.

Did I mention the convenience of these guys? Yup. No knife necessary.

This also helps A TON with measuring serving sizes of block cheeses.

Our next contender...

VELVEETA!

I love, love, love these little cups!

Can you see that I'm a little neurotic about cute food finds?

These cups are great for portion control. Because who seriously only eats one cup of the box velveeta?

These little guys (the 2% milk kind) are a STEAL for only 180 calories. However, if you prefer the regular kind, it's steal not too shabby with only 220 calories.

Add some fruit or a salad and you've got a nice little lunch.

I wouldn't suggest it for a satisfying dinner though. Just something to tie breakfast and dinner together.

Lastly, this food has its own category.

Kangaroo Mini Honey Wheat Pita Pockets

(Insert pic here)

So I couldn't find a pic of these little guys online but believe me, they exist.

These tasty little guys are so presh!

They're just the right size for mini pita sandwiches or perfectly dippable for your choice of hummus

They're only 40 calories a wedge and I love them. So much.

What are YOUR food obsessions right now?

A new beginning!

Hey there! My name is Gabriella and I'm a complete foodie. I LOVE food. Every moment can be better with the right amount of yummy delicious food. I'm from the MidWest and out here food is a BIG DEAL. I'm also situated pretty close to the South so we get some undertones of food habits from the "clean your plate" slogan of the South. Food is awesome; 'nough said, right? Well not quite... too much food and always combining food with having a fun time can turn sour... quickly. Just like an alcoholic can only have fun with alcohol present, so does the presence of food for those addicted.

Cue blog.

This blog is created to make better choices. You don't have to ignore cravings and your comfort food in order to eat better, and to live healthier. I want to be able to work through these things and come out on top. So why am I so devoted to this cause? Let's take a journey...

Last year, during one of the hardest semesters of my life, I contracted mono. It left me completely devastated! I was about to embark on a new healthier lifestyle complete with working out 3x's a week and eating the best food of my life. Well, with mono that doesn't exactly help. Needless to say my health kick has been demolished ever since. Not having enough energy to do much doesn't help. So I want to get back to the energy level I used to have while also losing some fat and workin' it!

Are you ready for a new you?
