Salty or Sweet??

Ahh the epic debate between salty and sweet. I feel like the battle rages on day after day in my house.

 

Every morning I have the same problem.

 

I can’t seem to decide what kind of breakfast sounds good.

 

Typical Sweet Options

Yogurt Bowl with pumpkin, fruit & cereal

Yogurt bowl with Peanut Flour and a vitatop

Peanut Flour and jelly sandwich

Peanut Flour Pancakes

French Toast with Fruit

 

 

Typical Salty Options

Dippy Eggs and Toast

Bagelwich with egg whites, cheese, and veggie sausage

Bagel and Cream Cheese

Omelet with cheese and veggies

 

Today I found myself somewhere in the middle…and ended up with a bagelwich minus the sausage, and a banana to balance out with some sweetness

See that snow? I hear we are getting more today…

 

If I was speaking about NOT JUST BREAKFAST…and I had to choose between salt and sweet in general, I would choose sweet.

 

I’d much rather have cookies and ice cream over chips and peanuts.

 

What about you? Salty or sweet?

Ask me Anything – Part #1

WooHoo! I got out of class early and I couldn’t be happier!

 

Dinner was simple. I defrosted some of my good chicken soup and paired it with a grilled cheese on a sandwich thin and some pickles. Freezing batches of chili and soup are such a great way to always have a warm healthy dinner in a pinch.

So I haven’t received all that many questions on my Ask Me Anything Page but I figured I would answer the few that I got.

 

Remember that these are anonymous so i don’t know who is asking them. If there is ever anything you want to know- please feel free to ask me. I’ll make sure to answer them on the blog in a future post.

And as always, you can always email me at FoodIRL@gmail.com.

 

Q1.What are you in school for?

Right now I am pursuing my Masters degree in elementary education. When I graduate in the spring I will be certified to teach K-6 in Pennsylvania. My undergrad degree is in Marketing and International business and I worked in marketing for 6 years. Although I enjoyed my time in the field, I felt that my call to teaching was greater. I think that teaching kids how to read, write, and love learning is an amazing thing. I know that it is what I’m meant to do.

Q2: What are some goals you have for yourself in 5 years? Or 10 years?

Let’s see. In 5 years I hope to be a mom. I’d actually love to have two kids by that time but I’ll leave that up to the universe to decide. Since I am in school to become a teacher, I also hope that in 5-10 years I have secured a great teaching position in an elementary school.  Another long term goal I have is to run a marathon.

Q3: What hair products do you use? You’ve got some shiny hair

Why thank you! I am currently using some crappy Garnier shampoo and conditioner, but I do alternate between brands a lot. I usually go to Ulta and see what salon brand is on clearance and buy that.

As far as styling, I use Phyto’s Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm before I blow dry.

 

After I blow dry I spray Tresseme Heat Tamer Protective Spray on my hair:

Then I use a CHI 1 inch straightener. Best deal is at Folica.com

Finally, I use Alterna Caviar Serum after I straighten to smooth flyaways and add shine. My cousin is a hairdresser and she got this for me. It’s a little expensive but lasts a really long time.

 

Well I guess that’s a wrap for round 1.

 

Get your questions in and I’ll answer ‘em!

 

Have a great night!

 

Your turn!
