Casa Sweet Casa

I'm back from our family camping trip in Georgia!
Boy do I have a lot of pics for you. :)

But first, it's time to pass on the Lovely Blog Award to these amazing ladies:

Also, The Fitnessista and Marlene have some fun giveaways.

Now on to Part 1 of the vacation pics..

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the camp food. :)

Pb&j with kiwi, apple, and diet coke

My mom's famous pasta salad
(the camping version--made in a bag)

Pasta salad, juicy watermelon, and banana

We did all of our shopping at Betty's Country Store

Baked Scoops! and Betty's Bean Salsa (best salsa EVER)

One night I just had chips and salsa for dinner.
Multiply this portion size by about ten. :)

Hot cocoa by the campfire

Dried apple chips bought at Jaemour Farms

Salad from the dinner buffet at Unicoi State Park Lodge

Unicoi's famous Fried Mountain Trout! We look forward to eating this all year. :) It tastes like HEAVEN with tartar sauce & lemon juice

We bought a 12 pack of Sugar Free chocolate & vanilla pudding & devoured them the whole trip.

I cooked the family delicious spaghetti on the camp stove one night.

We ordered Blimpies after a 2 hour run/hike into town.

Foot long turkey on wheat w/ everything but jalapenos :)

Fried chicken and coleslaw

Lunch at Troll Tavern in Helen, GA
Blackened chicken salad w/ honey mustard & yummy crunchy bread sticks

Wendy's chicken nuggets, honey mustard, caesar side salad, chili

Wendy's chili is my favorite! (With hot sauce of course)

That's all for today folks. Thank you SO much for putting up with my MIA status these past 2 weeks. I can't wait to be back on a regular blogging schedule.

PS I would LOVE it if you checked out my article: I Scream, You Scream for an Ice Cream Makeover on College Lifestyles!

Enjoy! <3 HBB

Where The Peaches Grow

Hi everyone. :)

I'm currently blogging from Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Thank goodness I finally found some wireless!

Fitness-wise:
It is so HARD to run on these hills/mountains up here! I ran for 45 minutes today and I seriously thought I was going to keel over. My mom and I also hiked 1.3 miles up Stone Mountain, so we're getting a lot of exercise in. :)

Time to share some of the food I've been eating along the trip!

Eating a banana at a KOA campground.
We stayed in a cabin one night to take a break from driving.

Starbuck's Coffee Frappe mmm

We ate lunch at The Whistle Stop Cafe, from the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes."

Eating in the cafe. :) It was so yummy!

Fried chicken, coleslaw, pickled beets, cornbread
The cornbread was not the sugary kind, but still so good.

My mom ordered the fried green tomato salad.
Of course, I stole a tomato from her. :) The tomatoes were HUGE and yummy.

My sister got country fried steak, gumbo, fried okra, & cornbread

Car Food:

Caribou Coffee, Iced Vanilla Coffee
My Review: It was good, but not as good as bottled Starbucks frappes!

McD's Happy Meal
(I miss these things SO much! And ironically it made me happier!)

6 McNuggets, honey mustard, Apple Dippers, & caramel sauce

Reduced Fat Milk and grapes

Camp Food:

Cottage cheese, grapes, banana, water

Lemon Zest LUNA Bar

Pear & beef jerky

Turkey sandwich w/ honey Dijon and coleslaw,
strawberries, apple

Cobb salad w/ chicken, tomatoes, boiled egg, carrots etc.

That's all for now folks! Tomorrow we're driving further north to a different campground. I promise to comment on your wonderful blogs as soon as I get back home. Hope you are all having a great weekend!
