Here’s a general human interest story for you!! >> MAN LEGALLY CHANGES NAME TO “BACON DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER.”  Ok!

Here are a couple of recipes to try from one of my favorite blogs:  Mantitlement:

• Homemade Stir Fry Sauce (excellent idea for quick weeknight dinners!)
• Cinnamon- Pineapple Margarita (I’m seriously craving this one)

These are BACON SHOTGLASSES dipped in chocolate and filled with whiskey from the blog:  Through the Eyes of My Belly.  This person is genius, don’t you think??

New product alert!  I tried these Phive Bars this week- specifically the peanut flavor (they also have original and blueberry).  I chose to nibble on one of them before my workout- they’re organic, have no artificial ingredients or added sugar, and they have a good amount of protein and fiber.  They’re full of fruits, nuts and seeds.  I’m enjoying them!

We had one more (hopefully last!) big snowstorm last week.  But now it’s like 50 degrees and the snow is almost completely melted again.  Tessie the labradoodle doesn’t look very thrilled, but I assure you that she loves it!
