Daily Delish

If you follow me on twitter, you know that I recently went a lil nutty over a special vitalicious promotion. Sorry loves, it’s over now — I tried tellin’ ya about it — that’s why you gotta get on twitter!

If you know me (and I think we’re all close by now, right?) you know I have a slight obsession with chocolate and peanut butter.

You can imagine, then, my delight when I opened my box of vitalicious goodness and spotted this bad boy.

just. look. at. that.

WHY OH WHY don’t they sell this variety at my grocery store?! Not cool, Vitalicious, not cool. Tempting me with your sweet, peanut buttery sweets and then telling me I’ll always have to order online…I see my paycheck disappearing one peanut butter vitatop at a time…

Daily Delish – Orange ya glad….(not sure where I’m going with this)

Oranges. Much like apples, they can go two ways. Utterly revolting or juicy bites of bliss.

Anyone who has had a bad orange knows what I’m talking about. Dry, crumbly and taking much too long to chew (at least before I spit it out), they can ruin anyone’s day 5 minutes. Especially since they take so much work to peel correctly! I mean, who wants to work to unwrap something only to find out it’s another one of Aunt Laurie’s Christmas Sweaters? Or in this case, an icky orange.

Luckily, the orange gods smiled upon me at lunch today and granted me roughly 12 slices of bliss.

While the aroma is currently sweet and fragrant, those who have thrown oranges away at their desk before know that it’s a slippery slope and I’ll soon be swimming in rotting orange peel fumes.

Thus, I’m off to deposit the remnants in my employee lounge — conspicuously, of course — no one wants to be pegged “rotting orange peel girl.”

Daily Delish – A match made in heaven

While I often proclaim my love for the peanut butter and banana pairing, I pulled a new Mistress out for Mr. PB tonight.

Ms. Banana, you may have met your match — yes, the silky, decadent and smooth, Miss Chocolate Chip has stepped into the (Arnold Sandwich Thin) ring.

Taking a cue from Miss Tina, I slathered a sandwich thin (to be entirely accurate, it was the Pepperidge Farm knock-off) with my favorite peanut butter (Naturally More, of course!) and delicately topped smothered it with chocolate chips.

I let this baby take a spin in the microwave for 10 seconds — and…

oh. my. word.

The bread-base got all doughy-like in the microwave and it honestly tasted as if I were eating a decadent baked good — or donut! (for the record, I prefer the Pepperidge Farm Arnold Sandwich Thin knock-off – it is doughier tasting ;) )

drool-worthy.

Make this now. Or don’t — more for me.

What treat do you make yourself that is super indulgent tasting but incredibly easy and (somewhat) healthy? I could use more ideas!

Daily Delish – It’s all about the antioxidants

My current obsession:

Teavana Dark Chocolate Green Tea Therapy

Sense a theme at The Daily Balance today? GREEN TEA!

My boss and art director (who also gave me my awesome coffee mug featured earlier today), included this little capsule of deliciousness in my holiday/get well gift bag — yes, the people I work with are awesome ;)

You can really taste the green tea at first (which I liked!), but eventually, as the chocolate melts, you are left with rich, sweet dark (61% cocoa!) chocolate.

It really is heaven in your mouth — too bad it eventually melts away…

Did you receive holiday gifts from your boss this year? Did you give out any gifts to your colleagues? I brought in a huge tray of Christmas cookies and oreo bombs!

Daily Delish – bringing in the New Year deliciously ;)

As I mentioned earlier, the Mister and I celebrated New Years Eve by having two friends over to game and snack!

While we were waiting for them to arrive, the Mister got his own type of ‘gaming’ on.

Meanwhile, I laid out the spread…

Potato chips, tortilla chips, variety of dips, cheese and crackers and pretzels

Sour cream and onion, salsa and queso!

And of course… the games! And not that we’re keeping score, but I won every one!

We played Yahtzee, catch phrase, The Nightmare Before Xmas Party Game and Apples to Apples

We had such a great time and shared MANY laughs – the perfect way to bring in the New Year!

How did you ring in the New Year? What tasty treats did you enjoy?
