I'm Back!

Oh my goodness! It has been a month far too long since I last posted! One of those weeks I went on vacation, and since I got back, I've kinda been in a slump. I didn't really feel like blogging about anything...not even my vacation! Well, that slump has passed, and I'm jumping back in.

I'm going to start things off with Kenlie's link-up, Friend Makin' Monday, but first I have a couple of things to address.

1) I will be blogging about my vacation probably some time this week. I think it will be split into three different posts: happenings on the ship and excursions in Jamaica and Grand Cayman. So much fun to share! Here's a sneak peek of our excursion in Grand Cayman...

2) I'm going to start weekly weigh-ins back up on Friday. I've been weighing in during the time that I haven't blogged, but I'm going to pick right up where I left off with the last weigh-in. So, I will see how much I've lost or gained based on my last weigh-in post, not the last time I physically weighed in. I hope that makes sense.

Now, on to Friend Makin' Monday, and it's all about food! My favorite! :-D

1. Do you make grocery lists? I do, and even though I remember to bring them in with me, I always forget a pen to cross off what I get.

2. Do you have a routine when shopping in your favorite grocery store? Yes, I always go to the deli first, then produce, and then up and down all the other aisles that I need.

3. What is your favorite seasoning? garlic powder

4. What is the healthiest food in your fridge right now? Lots of fresh fruit...watermelon, grapes, pineapple, and apples

5. What is the most unhealthy food in your fridge now? Banquet Chicken Pot Pie...my stepdad's, not mine

6. What is the most exotic produce you've ever had? Not one of the more exotic fruits or veggies you can find, but I've tried jicama. I'm not a fan...

7. Tell us about your favorite local restaurant. Kathleen's Kitchen...Kathleen makes everything herself...fresh breads, soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts...The spinach and strawberry salad and the bread pudding are so yummy!

8. What kind of pasta do you prefer (regular, whole wheat, etc.)? I prefer regular, but if I'm eating it, I'll usually go with whole-grain because it's a healthier option.

9. If you could make one food calorie-free for an entire week, which food would you choose? Chips and salsa, and change an entire week to an entire lifetime. :-)

10. If you had to choose, would you rather give up french fries or chocolate? Probably chocolate...I LOVE french fries, and I can get my sweet fix from other sources.

I encourage you to join the link-up, answer the questions on your blog, and share the link in Kenlie's comments!
