Puppy Chow Ruins Appetites

August 27, 2010 by Julie 40 Comments

I wasn’t actually hungry around lunchtime due to the Foodie Friday goodie that one of my coworkers brought into the office today…

Puppy chow!!!

Puppy Chow

This stuff is unbelievably addicting. I probably ate a whole solo cup (aka the token beer cups from college) full of it throughout the morning.

Even though my tummy wasn’t grumbling for lunch, I still ate what I packed because I figured my body needed some nutrients after ingesting all the sugar, chocolate and peanut butter from the puppy chow.

I made myself a salad topped with homemade tuna salad that contained tuna, light Miracle whip, mustard, celery and sweet relish.

Deconstructed Tuna Salad

The tuna salad topped a bed of baby greens, served with red pepper slices.

Lunch

A lil’ more nutritious than puppy chow, no? 😉

Bachelorette Party Round Two!

Some of you may remember a while back I mentioned that I was going to have a two-part bachelorette party.

My first bachelorette party weekend occurred at the beginning of the month.

I had a great time with my friends from college in Chicago singing and dancing at a dueling piano bar, attending a drag show and running a half marathon in matching pink tank tops. It was a crazy and super-fun time!

Bachelorette Party: Take One!

Tonight I’m heading back to Chicago for Round Two of bachelorette fun… This time with my high school gang and my sister!

Once again, I am completely in the dark with what the weekend will entail, but I know that as long as I’m with my best friends and sister it’ll be a blast!

See ya from the Windy City!

    I am plotting where I can pick up ingredients for puppy chow on my way home from work today because of you! It’s been wayyy too long since I’ve had puppy chow. Okay, so maybe only a few months, but a few months too long in my book.

    Have an amazing weekend! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

    I LOVE Puppy Chow! I have only had it once in the States and I have thought of it since. I think it is an American thing because I had never heard of it before going to the U.S.
    Honestly, if you were going to spoil your appetite on something, Puppy Chow was a stellar choice!!

    Puppy chow is one of those things that I just can’t be around. I can make it disappear with a snap of my fingers–that is how addicting it is to me.

    Have fun with bachelorette party #2!!

    I love puppy chow, but we like to call it Muddy Buddies where I am from! I make mine with almond butter or soynut butter on account of my peanut sensitivity. It is so good!!! Addicting. I would have eaten at least 11 of those solo cups full of it!

    I have a love/hate relationship with puppy chow. I love it because it is delicious (of course). I hate it because I feel the need to eat the ENTIRE batch. It is just too good!

    Oh my gosh I’m totally addicted to that puppy chow too. I always eat way too much of it when anyone makes it. It’s so good and because you can just pick it up and eat it, I always have my hand in the “puppy chow” heheh!!

    I totally find that puppy chow stuff addicting too!! I definitely have to be careful to portion out a proper amount, or I will just keep going until it’s disappeared!
