Top 5: Current Obsessions

In the spirit of being more than just a “food blog,” here are five random things I am totally, completely and absolutely LOVING right now…

  • My Roisin Murphy station on Pandora.  Seriously, this Irish lady knows how to work a beat.  Her music never fails to make me smile and shake my shoulders.

  • My flower-printed rainboots. I don’t where I would have been without them these past couple weeks.

  • My Women Health’s magazine subscription. One of my besties Megan got it for me when I moved to Wisconsin, and I am totally loving their humor, workouts and focus on being a kick a$$ woman!

  • CoverGirl’s Lash Blast Mascara. It works MIRACLES on my wimpy lashes. Seriously.

  • And finally, Eastwind Peanut Butter! At heart, this is obvs a food blog, so how could I not include at least one food product?  This peanut butter is smooth and doesn’t take a turbo-powered crane to stir it up.  Creamy, lovely and nutty, a.k.a. the perfect PB.

What are you totally loving right now? Something, anything…share!

    I am tots loving my new toms I just bought to replace my ratty falling apart ones. Not only are they cute and comfy, but for every pair you buy they donate a pair to a child! Not a bad deal!

  15. The Brunette Says:

    I love this list. I worked at Rodale (the company that publishes WH) over the summer, and getting free copies was such a great perk. And cool rainboots are such a must have. I have BRIGHT YELLOW ones with 2 inch wedges, and every time I put them on, they me happy, which is even more important on a rainy or snowy day.

  16. Carbzilla Says:

    Funny you should ask because today I was totally loving your roasted chickpea recipe. I searched my Reader and there it was – bingo! This morning I was also loving my silicone oven mitts and my adorable mini-colander. (I’m beginning to sound like Steve Martin from The Jerk. I’ll stop now)

  17. Emily (The Experimentarian) Says:

    You need to try these. They are out of this world, especially, the Vegan “Cheese” flavor!

  27. Jenny Says:

    I’m digging my newest tea purchase – Teavana Eastern Beauty.
    I also love my Joyful Girl Peppermint Lavender Lotion – it makes my hands feel so much better than other lotions <3
    Oh and I have to say I love that my animals serve as natural body warmers – my cats curl up on top of me and it's like having a heating pad! It's awesome – cuddles and warmth combined!

    Definitely checking out Roisin Murphy – I hadn't heard of the name but when I YouTubed I recognized at least one of the songs.

  31. sam Says:

    right now i’m LOVING up Arcade Fire – especially their album funeral. And as always, I love 30 rock, because I sweat liz lemon.

  33. Susan Says:

    Oooh, that’s my favourite mascara!! It’s awesome for not washing off at night and wearing to the gym the next morning ;)

    Favourite thing right now is protein cookie dough. You were right, it’s delicious and filling and I can’t get enough.

  34. Jenny Says:

    In regards to your last post: I want more V-logs, and honestly, I love their randomness, you share more about your personality that way :)

    Also, on the counting cals thing, it definitely drives me nuts…HOWEVER I think it is definitely smart to be “in the know” when it comes to rough estimates…especially when you aren’t doing the food prep, it’s nice to be able to know what you’re getting.

    LOVE Pandora stations, I’m adding this one now…and your rain boots are fab! I have some flowery ones from Urban Outfitter that I love. I’m also loving my glasses this week ;)

  35. Brett Says:
