foody friday

hello lovelies!

it's been more like a foodie week, actually, than a foodie friday. i had my social exam on monday, which i was extremely stressed about, to the point of breaking down and then realising there wasn't time to sit there and sob. i know, awful. so i've been eating a lot of naughties lately, in the form of

• ben and jerrys - dough-ball whammy; oh my, it's gorgeous. buy it!
• dominos - two for tuesday, couldn't resist with the boy. new yorker is the one.
• auntie anne's cinnamon sugar pretzel sticks - we always get the free samples as we walked buy, but treated ourselves and bought the sticks to share. 3 was plenty, so they are great to share between 2 :)
• pasta and garlic bread - on my healthy eating plan there isn't much opportunity for pasta, although i've had both mascarpone pasta and bolognese, both with garlic bread, my ultimate favourite carb. oops?

i received a voucher to try two graze boxes for free from a friend, so thought i'd give them a whirl. the bargain hunter in me seems to think they are a little pricey for what you get, but i can definitely see the appeal for business workers and the like, they just aren't too price-friendly for students. in my first one i received a fruit and seed flapjack, which was delicious! even though i don't generally like dried fruit, i can certainly tolerate it nestled in syrupy oaty goodness.

ANYWAY, a while back i bought all the ingredients intending to make granola, but never bothered. a few tweaks here and there and i had the perfect flapjack mix! they are scrummy and it's killing me not to go eat them all because although they are in graze, they aren't THE healthiest for you. it's all about portion control...

the finished product - eat your heart out, graze!
