Dancing, Groceries & Snackage
Hi dolls, i’m back with some (fun) photography to share! By the way, thanks for all the sweet compliments on my wedding-recap post. Totally unnecessary, but thank you.
This week i’ve been studying like it’s my job, eating hummus like nobody’s business, getting my danceface on at the frats and taking lovely trips to Whole Food’s and Trader Joe’s. Yes, I finally found another veg. girl who loves her name-brand (foods) just as much as she loves her name-brand (clothing).
‘Cuz you know, if you aren’t trying the latest Chobani flavor, living off of Sabra hummus or trying some new type of Food Should Taste Good chips, then… who are you??! 
I have a few weekend shots, grocery pics and late-night snackage to share:
First, some weekend debauchery.
My sorority had a Saturday Night Fever- themed dance last night, so clearly I had to rock some guy’s afro for a bit.
Gold hoops? Check. Hippie/disco-y (kinda) headband? Check. Vest, (unpictured) high-waisted shorts & some funky heels? Checkk!
Here’s some of the delicious late-night snackage i’ve been getting into. Studying makes you hungry, didn’t ya know??
Chopped gala apple + cinnamon + carob chips + maranthana’s crunchy peanut butter + annie’s cinnamon bunnies
one more time…..
But here’s my other latest obsession….Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin granola heated up with soy milk, cinnamon and a few sliced almonds
may look yucky but tastes amazingg
And lastly, groceries!
- The Works Food Should Taste Good Chips (!)
- Cashews
- Whole Food’s Natural Herb Popcorn (!)
- Goji Berries (!)
- Wild Blueberry preserves
- Tj’s flattened bananas (!)
- Tj’s Sea Salt & Pepper crisps
- Tj’s Pumpkin Pie Spice (!)
The unpictured, refridgerated groceries include some Plain Brown Cow greek yogurt, Tofurkey, and dijon mustard.
Since half of these items are new to me (hence all the exclamation marks), give yo’ girl some tips!
Question: What do I need to try first, and with what??
Thanks girls, have a great week!

yum!! looks like you got some delicious groceries there! how are the flattened bananas?? I am not a huge fan of banana chips, but saw these at TJs and figured they maybe would taste diff??
LOL the saturday night fever theme you and your girlfriend look the part to a T!
Enjoy your evening Jess!
I love that pumpkin pie spice mix! I put it in my oatmeal and it takes care of all the spiceness for me
mmm all your groceries look fantastic! glad you had a great weekend
JESS! Hiiiii. I always love when you post your fun pics from your sorority parties! That headband is pretty bossy.
Glad you made another veghead to share those flattened bananas with… and that hot granola sounds so yum! I’ll have to try it once I finish working my way through the not-so-good kind I have in the pantry right now.
You NEED to try TJ’s pumpkin butter!
hey jess!
can’t wait to hear how you like them along with all your other new products!
i have tried the multigrain FSTG chips and they are really good! not a chip but also a cracker

Flattened bananas with PB! Pumpkin pie spice… with everything! Oatmeal espesh! Such a PERFECT fall spice
You look so gorg in those pictures …. that I already stalked on FB
I want to live in the house with you! Be sisters and everything!!!!
Love you!
Spread some AB on those ‘nanas and roll ‘em up!
Looking good! Question: what spices are in a pumpkin spice mix? Because they don’t sell them over here…And where do you use it for?
Thanks!

Oh how I’ve missed your food porn! haha
LOVE that Pumpkin Pie Spice! I couldn’t believe how cheap it was when I bought it. The container is huge too, but I have a feeling it won’t last that long in my house!
mmm pumpkin pie spice…put that on EVERYTHING!
Your pictures are reminding me how much I need to go grocery shopping, which is very, very badly.
It looks like you had a great weekend, dance-partying it up.
Have a great week, and eat lots of that lovely food!
mmmm….loving the FSTG chips. I haven’t tried the works but my favorite variety is either the chocolate of the cinnamon. TJ’s Pumpkin pie spice is awesome, I use it in my butternut squash muffins (also use the Trader Joe’s almond meal). It’s a perfect seasoning for anything really and will put you in the fall mood
ENJOY!
Studying DOES make you hungry! At least for me it does
I say try the pumpkin spice on the flattened bananas! Yum!
you need to try the works chips, because i have never tried them and want to know if they are any good!
got yo e-mail – will respond later
you are TOO cute in your S.N.F. gear! i love you lots girl – have a good monday!
omg I love pumpkin pie spice! yay thats its fall
use that in oatmeal fo sho!
xoxo
Lo
Name brand foods – loves!! Glad you found another girl with good tastes in food
I think you should just open everything up and try a bite of them all! I’m the worst at doing that – gotta make sure my money was well spent, right?!
I’ve been wanting to try the flattened bananas, so you should go for those with some nut butter!
yummmmmmmmmm. ive always wondered about those flattened nanners. lemme know what you think?
You have floored me once again with that amazing snackage. Galas, MaraNatha, Annies, cinnamond, and carob chips??? Can you get better than that!?
Such delicious goodies!!! I don’t think I could pick just one… I can’t wait to see how you use them all.
xxoo

You are absolutely ridiculous and it makes me happy.
I want to try Food Should Taste Good chips so bad…and the flattened banana looks amazing! I like the blueberry spread (well, I get the blackberry one but still) on oatmeal in a PB&J style! Also on toast which is predictable but deLECTable. xoxo
aww jess it looks like your having a total blast in college!! totally jealous that your so close to a whole foods/trader joes too!!
hope all is well <3
personally I think you could pull off the short curly “Andy Sanberg” look .. just saying.
I vote you eat the flattened banana first just ’cause that is soooo what she said
love you beebee! xo
I’m interested in what you think of the flattened bananas! And just about everything else
I’m so glad you’ve been having so much fun! And that you’ve found another awesome, healthy food-loving gal!
<3 jess

Try the flattened bananas + pumpkin pie spice + cashews in oatmeal! OR something fantastic I’m sure you can think of. Maybe in sandwich form.. and the cashew can add some crunch?
“‘Cuz you know, if you aren’t trying the latest Chobani flavor, living off of Sabra hummus or trying some new type of Food Should Taste Good chips, then… who are you??!”
OH MY GOSH!! That was too freakin’ cute. I’m gonna reply to your e-mail as soon as I’m done catching up on all my bloggie homegirls

I haven’t tried my flattened bananas yet, but I’ve heard that I need to spread some peanut or almond butter on them and roll them up, so that’s what I’ll do!
