Pizza Taste Off, Second Verse

The North Iowa Bloggers had their pizza taste off a little over a week ago (read about that HERE). While I was attending the event, I received a text from T who told me that he and the boys had decided that we were having a pizza taste test of our own on Sunday…apparently they didn’t want to miss out on all the fun! When I got home, they had decided that we were getting pizzas from Godfathers, Breadeaux, and Caseys in town. They decided that they wanted to get all one flavor to make it (in their words), “a true authentic taste test”. So, after discussion we decided on hamburger as that is a topping that everyone in our house likes.

#TastyTuesday – The NEW Breakfast Sandwich

I run first thing in the morning! My alarm goes off at 5:01 every weekday (don’t ask why 5:01…it goes back to college) and I get up and run or do core/strength training. When I’m done working out, I traditionally am not hungry nor do I have time to sit down and eat breakfast (if I want to make it to work on time)! So, I’m constantly looking for new healthy breakfasts, which are also yummy! In the last week I’ve stumbled across my new favorite breakfast!

North Iowa Blogger’s Try a Piece of Pizza Pie…or Several Pieces

8 months ago I attended my first North Iowa Blogger get-together. It was a chip tasting party for Lay’s Do Us A Flavor challenge and met this amazing group of woman. (Read about that experience HERE)  Last week we got together for a Pizza Taste Off party!  It all started with Beth Ann of It’s Just Life mentioning that she had never had Casey’s General Store’s pizza.  Between Twitter and our thoughts…well, the rest is now history!

Share Your World 2015, Week 10

Well, due to life last week, I missed a week of Share Your World, so I’m excited to be back at it…even if it is at the end of the week!  I hope you enjoy my answers this week…make sure you keep reading because there might be a funny story about me as a young child! 😉

When you lose electricity in a storm, do you light the candles or turn on the flashlight? How many of each do you own? Both!  I love candles and have lots of them much to T’s dismay (I have candles at home and at work, so I’m covered on all bases!), so those would probably be the choice for constant light, but I’m sure for specific things or looking “in” things like cupboards, etc. flashlights would be used!

You are given $5,000 and the chance to exchange it for one of two envelopes. One envelope contains $50,000 and one contains $500. Do you make the trade? Why or why not?  My gut reaction is to keep the $5,000 because no matter what was in the other envelope, I would always have $5,000 more than I had prior!

Eating in St. Louis – Sawmill BBQ & Big Daddy’s

This past weekend, R and I took a trip (courtesy of Air Choice One and the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce) to see my father and mother in law who live about 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis (in Illinois). While there we ate some amazing food.  We love exploring locally owned restaurants and St. Louis (and the area), did not disappoint!
