T’was a fairly regular school day hump day today. We had the Assistant Dean and Director of Substance Abuse Prevention and Health Promotion come in to talk about alcohol at Duke and on college campuses in general. I heard him speak in my Diet and Nutrition class last year but he still managed to scare my of-legal-age butt all over again. There are some crazy kids out there that need to wake up and be careful!
For breakfast I had a mountain of a waffle. The microwaved apple slices drizzled in almond butter were on the brink of a major AVALANCHE!
A few pieces came tumbling down as I took a bite! AVALAAAANCHE!!
I also had some TJ’s Euro Yogurt mixed with Green Tea powder topped with strawberries
I got this about 2 years ago and I love mixing it into green smoothies, yogurt, steamed milk, etc.
It only has a touch of stevia added for sweetness!
Between classes, I hopped on the elliptical to loosen up my tight muscles. I ended up doing a light 50 min.
I went to the Career Center to have my resume looked at and the rather old experienced woman had good tips for me. More editing to do! When does this process come to an end? Ever?
I ate this Navel Orange and Whole Wheat Pumpkin Raisin Scone during my next class as a post-workout snack. Do they call these navel oranges because of the little navel butt that they have?
Repeat photo…No, I did not bring my leaf plate to class 
I munched on some lots of pita chips while chatting with my BFF on the phone. These are going fast!!
For dinner I prepared a salad and sandwich combo. The salad contained:
- Tomatoes
- Goat Cheese
- Avocado
- Broccoli Slaw (totally made the salad tip top!)
- Red Onions
The sandwich contained hummus, eggplant, and lettuce. Since when does it start getting dark at 5:30pm!? Oh yeah, since we gained that glorious hour on Sunday!
Hence, my poor-lit photo…excuses excuses
For dessert I had two THREE squares of Lindt Intense Pear Dark Chocolate. This chocolate is amazing! I love the crunch of the almonds with the flavor of pear. Too perfect!
I also had some kefir and TJ’s Tart Frozen Yogurt. <3
I’ve got the busiest and most exciting weekend coming up. It’s going to be pretty frickin’ cool. I’m dying to tell you all about it!! Don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging for too long. Get ready for some action though!!! (NO, not like THAT!)
Quirky Q
1. What’s your favorite kind of chocolate? I’m talking brand/flavor/add-ins/dark/milk/white/Cocoa %… I love dark chocolate 70% and higher. Milk chocolate is good once in awhile too! My favorite is probably Green and Blacks Dark & Gingerbread. It was a seasonal flavor that I tried in London last year. It had crunchy gingerbread pieces embedded in the chocolate….so good!!

The only chocolate I eat these days is Theo. It’s soy-free, gluten-free, and DAAAAAMN tasty!:

I love Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs.
Looking forward to hearing about your weekend, are you doing something in town?
Stacy’s Pita Chips are my vice. Have you tried the Cinnamon Sugar flavor? To DIE FOr!! Really, these things are dangerously amazing.
That chocolate = true perfection. Wait, it even gets better…Dark Chocolate and Gingerbread chocolate? Are you serious????
I am so excited for you and I don’t even know what you are doing this weekend. You’ve built up the anticipation girly, just don’t forget to fill me in. I’m so pumped!
Can’t wait to hear what this exciting weekend contains! Question-do your feet ever fall asleep on the elliptical? Mine do! Yes, those pita chips are dangerous! My current new fave is spicy three pepper pita chips (New York Style Brand). Oh chocolate, where to begin? I do love Trader Joe’s Organic 73% super dark chocolate (in the purple wrapper). I love Lindt’s dark chocolate too-I’ve had a chili one that was good and an orange and almond one that was amazing. That gingerbread kind sounds fab!!
I love Green & Blacks dark chocolate (70%++ cocoa content) and Chocolove’s dark chocolate (esp. the Tanzania and Ecuador bars). YUUUUM

Trader Joe’s also has great dark chocolate
I just love chocolate, really! My current favs are TJs Dark Chocolate Mint UFOs and xoxo brand with cherries & chili or cherries & almond!
i don’t really eat bar chocolate, so no favorite flav. vanilla almond is bomb flavor combination! try the granola. it’s rockin! it’s not too sweet and the almond flavor is nice!
so good plain!
I am a 85% and higher dark chocolate gal. I love Green & Black’s.
YUM YUM YUM!
That’s all I have to say about your recent blog post, hehe. That waffle looks absolutely heavenly! And you just inspired me to put a few splahes of orange juice in my TJ fro yo!
I used to (before ED) LOVEE dark chocolate with either: pb, mint, espresso.. I also love the dark chocolate/pretzel combo.. Nothing beats sweet & salty in one bite
Have a fabulous night, girly

Oh gosh I love dark chocolate! I haven’t had any in a long long time though.. maybe I should get on that!
Cannot wait to hear what you have going on this weekend!
oops blogger fail at writing the correct website address haha
I don’t think resume editing ever ends. Even after you graduate and get a job you have to keep it at the top of its game in case you ever need it. Quite a pain in the behind!!!
Also, my favorite chocolate has quickly became Hershey’s Bliss dark chocolate. I used to hate dark chocolate, but my husband always loved it. He’s won me over. And the bitterness makes me slow down and really enjoy it.
is it bad that i like hershey’s cookies n cream chocolate :-[ hehe not the healthiest but delicioous! and cuuute goofy cup
xoo

This morning I had two waffles, one w/ PB, the other w/ nutella and piled both w/ sliced bananas. hehe I thought of you b/c I’d never eaten anything like that!
Yeah, that lecturer totally freaked me out today too. I will be having nightmares about date rate drugs tonight, thank you very little.
I really love Lindt 70% mini squares. That way I don’t feel quite so bad about eating 7 of them:)
Also, any dark chocolate with coconut involved is A-OK in my book.
OMG that chocolate looks wonderful. I’m going to have to have my mama look for it so it will be waiting when i get back to good ol US of A.
GINGERBREAD dark chocolate? I need to find that , asap!
Greens and Black is a great brand.. and there is one brand (forget the name) but it is really good, and proceeds go towards saving the animals or rainforests 
I love dark chocolate the best. 80% or higher
your almond apple avalanche looks like BLISS <3
Please don’t kill me, but I don’t like chocolate…tee hee…
Oh wow, that avalanche is amazing! I sure wouldn’t mind this one pouring down on me! I’ll open my mouth and gobble them up!
I love DARK Chocolate. I suppose my favorite brand is yet to be determined.
The mountain of apples on top of the waffle drizzled in almond butter is the MOST BEAUTIFUL thing I have seen all day! Such a healthy breakfast but I bet it tastes like a decadent dessert. YUM! Now that is all I can think about…
I can’t say I don’t like milk chocolate, specially Milka. That brand has some good ones, really.But I love dark chocolate too, plain or with some flavor.
I love those oranges too! My favourite chocolate? Difficult! Most of the times it’s a really dark milk chocolate, with hazelnuts for instance…

The whole resume thing – I hear ya! I am so tired of resumes, cover letters, and interviews…. and I doubt it is going to get any better next semester when the internship search process becomes even more intense!
My favorite chocolate is a tie between Lindt Creme Brule, Lindt Chocolate Balls, and Ferrero Roche.
I can’t wait to hear about your weekend!!! Lots of yummy eats- Love the pita chips…I fly right through those bags so I only buy them on occasion
You know I can’t do without my broc slaw either. ahhh the resume- yes, you can edit it forever!
Wow that waffle looks amazing! Great idea!
Your breakfast looks so good and juts made my boring cliff bar and yogurt seem so pathetic. I read the rest of the post, but I am stuck on the apple waffle!
We have people who come in with “accidental overdose” of drugs/alcohol/both. People need to learn a little about what they’re putting into their bodies.
Ahhhhh resumes! Everyone has their own opinion about what makes one good and what you need to put on it, etc etc. Such a pain.
I love any kind of Green & Black’s AND Lindt/Lindor. Melt in your mouth or what?!!!
Could that waffle look any more delicious?! I am not happy to admit that white chocolate is actually my favorite! Then milk chocolate, then dark choclate. I know dark chocolate is so much better for you, but I can’t resist white choclate sometimes
Have you ever had the white hot chocolate from Starbuck’s? Too die for!
I love broccoli slaw! I add it to my stir-frys. Do you have a World Market by you? They have the best selection of chocolate – my favorite so far is dark chocolate with sea salt – I made smores with this chocolate, and while I didn’t eat it (diabetic!) everyone raved about it!
It’s not even 5pm and it’s pitch black outside here
I got my brother that chocolate last year- he LOVED it! I’ll see if I can hunt some down this year to send you. I’m a milk chocolate person- Cadbury’s crunchie, Boost, milk ways (the British ones!), Reece’s Pieces…mmmmmmm
How in the world do you get your food to look that delicious??? The apple avalanche is getting me wanting waffles…for lunch! hahaah
I also love your kefir and froyo idea!! I have yet to try TJ’s frozen yogurt, but i know i’m in love with their frozen fruit mixes!!
Hey! no keeping us in suspense!! Spill the beaaannns please?!
I LOVE Lindt’s pear chocolate!! This makes me want to do a chocolate review post!
Holy moly, I want that dark and gingerbread!!!
I’m editing my resume for grad school as we speak, so I hate to break it to you girl, but it never ends!!!
OMG where can I get my hands on some of that intense pear chocolate?!!?!? I have never seen it before looks deeeeeeleeecious
I bought it on campus. I haven’t seen it anywhere else though.
