Apparently those of us who enjoy splashing around in the bathroom are a rare breed. We’ve got to stick together, Beasts! 😉
Lunch
Hello, loverrr (said in Carrie Bradshaw’s shoe-loving voice).
Noodle Bowl
What is it about a big bowl of pasta that makes me swoon?
I’m going to chalk my love for noodles up to their doughy texture. I just love slurpin’ them up.
Today’s big ol’ bowl o’ pasta included:
- Carba Nada basil fettuccine pasta
- Ragu marinara meat sauce
- Fresh spinach
- Roasted cauliflower and broccoli (leftover from last night)
Carba Nada Basil Fettuccine
Come in Close for the Good Stuff
So satisfying!
I usually take my calcium supplement with breakfast, but I forgot this morning, so I got to enjoy a little sweet treat in the form of VitaFusion calcium gummy vitamins after lunch today.
Gummies for Grown Ups
These things are like candy.
Throw a wrapper on each individual piece and they could rival Starbursts! 😀
Question of the Afternoon
Which do you prefer, Skittles or Starbursts?
I love pink Starbursts, but I also love red, orange and purple Skittles… so I guess my answer would have to be Skittles since I like more of ’em.

Oh man that is a tough one! I love fruity candy and those are two of my favorites.. but I’d probably have to go with skittles. It’s close, though!
i totally understand. i almost didn’t answer my own question b/c i had to think about it for so long. 🙂
I’m definitely a Skittles girl. I used to be obsessed with them so much that in high school I would buy a huge bag and eat them all besides the purple ones. I would then give my bag of leftover purple Skittles to my friend who thankfully was a fan! I get annoyed when the Starbursts get stuck on my teeth while chewing!
give me the purple ones!!! 😀
lmao
I say ‘hello, loverrr’ ALL the time! And Skittles – hands down.
Skittles!! But only the green and yellow ones, please. I’m not a fan of the other ones…so my hubby eats them.
I know this is random…but what is Body Pump? I see it on the other blogs too…
just wondered what kind of exercises they do in that class??? Thanks! 🙂
it’s a total-body weights class. i did a post about it, which you may see here: http://peanutbutterfingers.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/so-what-is-bodypump/
I LOVE both! I have never been a big chocolate person and skittles and starburst are my 2 fav candies! The pink and red starburts and red and green skittles!
Oh boy, I might have to go find some now!
When faced with Skittles or Starbursts, I would chose chocolate. 🙂 I am not a candy girl – it is chocolate or nothing for me.
And I didn’t comment on your other post, but I definately gallivant around my bathroom like a beast. You are definately not alone.
another beast emerges!!!!!!! 😀
Skittles all the way! The only Starburst color I like is the red!
You’ve inspired me to try Carba-nada pasta! Just checked out it’s nutrition facts & it has 12 g of protein per serving. Whoa! (in Joey Lawrence voice) haha
Skittles — you get more of them to eat 😉
Do you know they make gummy Omega-3 vitamins? They taste like FISH though ….yick!
I like the red & yellow skittles.. and the red & pink starburst. I always give the yellow & orange starburst away!
I may have to try this pasta you’re always talking about.. it always looks delicious!
I love me some berry skittles! otherwise, Id say starbursts!
Skittles please and especially orange 🙂
Pink starbursts are the best! So is the tropical pack…
I love Starbursts and smooshing them together to make one big chewy gob!
Skittles! but I do like how starbursts stick to the roof of your mouth, red one’s are the best. Actually, that IS a really rough question. Can I go with m&ms? lol.
Pasta’s great, never seems to stick with me though. I see you eat it a lot for lunch, does it hold you over well?
yeah this pasta is great! it has 12g protein which really helps me feel satisfied.
Gnarly, I’ll definitely have to try it when I’m not trying to pack on pounds anymore. 🙂
hi julie!! i’m confused and i was wondering if you could clear things up for me; you say you’re not trying to cut down carbs, yet your food choices portray the contrary.
you use “carba-nada” pasta, instead of regular whole wheat pasta, arnold sandwich thins, just yogurt and fruit for breakfast, the other day you dined salmon and broccoli, or your lunch was just a salad with bacon..
but; where are all the carbs?!
i actually bought the carba nada pasta b/c of it’s protein content (12g per serving). i honestly like it a lot more than regular whole wheat pasta b/c it’s doughier & tastes fantastic.
it’s a similar story w/ the sandwich thins… i honestly like them more than hamburger buns! plus, i cannot go through an entire loaf of bread in a week, so i like that they’re aren’t as many and that they freeze really well.
fruit & veggies actually count as carbs, too, though they’re not as carb-dense as foods with flour, etc.
i don’t limit my carbs intentionally. i eat what i like and what tastes good to me! if that’s a big ol’ roll or a simple sandwich thin, i’ll eat whichever option appeals to me more.
I am all about the skittles- ESPECIALLY the purple ones, those are my favorite.
And, I have to comment about your camera- it’s AWESOME!! It even picked up the sugar crystals on your hand- now that’s a good camera 🙂
I’m not a big fan of fruity candies, but I’m gonna have to go with Skittles on this one solely because I ate an entire candy dish full of them when I was drunk this weekend. Apparently I was hoarding them. Classy. Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Ahhh man, that’s not even a fair question! I love pink and red Starbursts – SO good. BUT, I love all colors of skittles, so I guess I’ll have to let Skittles win this debate. 😉
I love that Carba Nada pasta so much!
I’m not a huge fan of chewy candy, I like the hard stuff better. Those do look tasty though!
i love pink and yellow starbursts! and i love the red and purple skittles…i guess it’s a tie!
Can I break the mold and go with gummy bears, love them!!
Starbursts for sure! Skittles are so not my fav. Ultimately, peanut butter M&Ms would win the candy debate but we’ll save that for another day…
i JUST GOT THESE NOODLES!! so – do u cook the entire package when u make them? or just half?! i cant wait to try them!
Pink starbursts and red skittles all the way!
I’m not a big fruity candy person, but I love me some Starbursts! I think its because I spent about 85% of my time as a young child through my early teen years at a gymnastics gym where a million and one other preteen girls were always starving and whenever anybody had a dollar to get something for the snack machine, they’d be peer-pressured into getting a pack of Starbursts because you can share them so easily! Of course, Skittles were the next popular choice after that. But I still like Starbursts best. Red or pink, please. :]
