Simply Delicious

Although lately I have been far too busy to sit down and have a truly nice meal, I would still say I eat well. Well as in healthy? I try, but well as in absolutely scrumpdidaliumptious? Absolutely. Whether it be on my way to school, when I'm home at night and have a free half hour before True Blood starts, or even traveling to somewhere wonderful, I have discovered some of the most amazing things to stuff my face with.

If you haven't met me, don't think because the food I occasionally eat may be high in caloric value or fat content, I am overweight or advocating it. I believe in living an active lifestyle (even though I am highly uncoordinated.. the elliptical works just as well for me as, say, a salsa dancing class), and not constantly being full. It has worked for me so far, and as long as I refrain from having 2 fruity cocktails with dinner each night, I am fairly good at "maintaining."

And now to the good stuff, or should I say delectable?

A few months ago, I was introduced to my new favorite snack. I might be a bit strange for feeling inclined to choose fruit at the grocery store instead of a candy bar, but regardless, this MY blog and I will write about what I find appetizing. So fruit: cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon are all very delicious this time of year (in fact, I feel like they're delicious all times of year, but maybe I'm mistaken) and I have eaten more of these three super fruits this summer than in my whole life. Why, you ask? A little thing called Chile Powder. Sounds gross, I know, but it's not--just a little sweet, a little spicy, a little salty, and a lot of deliciousness.

My second favorite food ithis summer was made by my beautiful step mom, Kelly. Visiting my new "home" in Missouri a few weeks ago was made 110x sweeter thanks to the frozen fruit salad she had waiting for me when I got off the plane. Although I enjoy normal fruit salad, with Missorui's 105 degree weather and abnormal humidity, frozen fruit salad was that much more scrumptious. Gold star for you, Kel!

Finally, I would like to give a tribute to my ultimate comfort (or maybe just hangover) food. In a little town called San Luis Obispo, at a little grill called Firestone, my all time favorite snack is created, perfectly I might add. Instead of sticking with making myself come off as a fairly healthy person, I am caving to describe the yummiest most amazing french fries in the world: perfectly seasoned, thin enough to be crunchy without being too crunchy, dipped in bbq sauce then ranch (yes, in that order), and finally, never ending. Lucky for me, a basket of fries supplies more than enough greasy goodness for the whole table, leaving me with plenty to take home!

Needless to say, my stomach has been plenty happy this summer, and now that I've mentioned it, I just might go raid the fridge!
