Scribbles About Food: Back to College/School Snacks

So I thought this would just kind of be a fun thing to do... I'm just going to talk about what I ate in college as a snack- mostly when I didn't have much time to grab a meal before going to class... and yeah. Let's get right into it... PS... these aren't really healthy options... so yeah. There's that.

This isn't something I had in college, but Keebler just released a "Pita and Hummus" or "Flatbread and Hummus" snack pack. This isn't super filling- but it would be a good snack in between classes... You're going to need to bring some breath mints to class or brush your teeth before if you want to smell good in class... I don't think I would do stuff like that for class... not even going to lie lol... if I was working with other people or if there was a cute boy- I would consider that... but yeah. Not the first thing I was worried about lol. Improv class I was a little more concerned... but I wasn't really concerned otherwise. Lol.

I was also big into Starbucks... in the morning I'd get it... there was one semester where I had one 3 hour class and we'd get a short break and the building was close enough to Starbucks that I could get a little something to eat... which was good because I had another 3 hour class almost right after that one and I preferred eating dinner after. The drink I get now is the Chai Latte... I think that's what I mostly got in college also... I got different things depending on my mood... still do lol. But the Chai Latte has been my go-to lately. I like it Iced... so good! I'd usually grab a yogurt Parfait or something then too.

One thing you don't want to do: Get the Salted Caramel Latte with the Salted Caramel Brownie... I'm a huge sweet tooth... but that was a little too much even for me... and it was very heavy and it just kind of sat on me while I had to walk to a much further away building... it was gross. I love the brownies, I love the Salted Caramel Latte... would never get them together again.

My favorite snack ever for a quick meal... the Keebler Cheese and Peanut Butter Crackers. These are a must have if you really have no time before class. If you're traveling these are great. They have just regular peanut butter crackers too... they have just regular cheese ones... whatever is your cup of tea... I just like the Cheese and peanut butter combo. These are filling enough that you can pay attention in class without only thinking of food... and it's just good to grab. Most of the little snack places have these... I think some vending machines probably do... they're just good.

Also Snickers... It's exactly like the commercials... feeling hungry? Grab a snickers! I did this before an interview with a teacher once... so that was fun.

Whenever I was studying I used to like getting Rice Krispy Treats because those are a nice sugary dessert that you can find really easily. I also like the Starbucks grocery store drinks. Those are always good.

I'm not that big on lunch meat... but I did eat a lot of cheese and crackers and sometimes I'd have pepperoni... and I would sing "Working on my Night Cheese" while eating it if my roommate wasn't in the room... it was good.

I think that's about it!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
