Since I had a fabulously delicious day with food, I decided to be nice and share some of it with you all!
Breakfast wasn't homemade by me, but across the street from my house is this amazing bakery. They have the best homemade bran cranberry muffins!! Seriously delicious stuff :) I never thought I'd be describing a BRAN muffin as delicious, but hey... If the shoe fits, wear it (Speaking of shoes... Just wait til the end of the post!).
Ok... So I didn't eat Larvets. But my kids did, lol. And they loved it!! My 5 yr old is obsessed with worms, and one of his favorite shows on TV is Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. When I seen these I couldn't pass them up. Part of me thought it would be a learning lesson for him (he'd taste how gross they were and lose part of his worm obsession), and it completely backfired! He now says "they're protein!"
Lunch was a wonderful sandwich made from leftover crab cakes (will add recipe soon!). Toasted a WW sandwich thin, topped my crab cake with a thin slice of cheese (trust me, for a girl from WI that's good!!), a couple slices of tomato, a huge handful of spinach and a little tiny bit of some homemade cocktail sauce.
By the time dinner rolled I was too tired to throw together a culinary masterpiece (finals are almost done!!!!!). I had gotten a new Freschetta Simply Inspired pizza the other day at the grocery and just threw that in the oven. The classic bruschetta pizza is amazing!! I opted for the "ignorance is bliss" train of thought and completely overlooked the nutrition information (it is in the link if you are so inclined to check it out!).
And on a totally unrelated (to food) note! I got my new shoes in the mail today!!! I'm thrilled to say the least. I've been running in my old Nike cross training shoes for the longest time (bad, bad, bad I know...). Something has always been more important when the extra money was around. I finally just went for it. I tried my Mizuno's on right away and they fit perfectly. I'm hoping to get out for a run tomorrow to really try them out!!
Have you gotten any wonderful surprises in the mail this week?? Have you made any delicious meals you want to share with us??

I could NOT do Larvettes! I had to eat a giant ant on the air a couple of weeks ago... if it hadn't been a live show I don't think I could have controlled the gag reflex... I never knew I had an aversion to strange foods; thought I could handle it, but the *idea* of eating a huge ant is what nearly did me in.
In addition to this comment, thanks for the comment on my post today! You of all people should know where that photo was taken... any guesses?
My kids loved them! My 5 yr old would probably love to eat a huge ant!
Hmmm... Was it taken around Snowbasin?? Or somewhere in that vicinity between Huntsville and Mountain Green?
that muffin looks super delicious! YUM. I am a tiny bit scared of the larvets though!! haha!
