I think it’s disgusting. But people here in Utah eat it like it’s butter. they put it on EVERYTHING. Sick. If you still need peeps to guest post, I would be happy to. It’s be great to get to know you and your blog a little better. Have a great weekend! xoxo

Including cottege cheese and cream cheese (unless in frosting form) or plain cheesecake. That makes me a freak to many people, haha. I also don’t like mushrooms (but a lot of people don’t I think) but other than that I am SO much better about eating varied foods than I used to be. A million times.

I don’t think I have a favorite holiday actually, but I’m starting to like Thanksgiving more…because I use the long weekend as an excuse to drink lots and lots of wine, which I rarely drink otherwise :-)

i don’t like a lot of “normal” things people like: ketchup, mushrooms (although masked in a dish, they are alright), i used to despise mac n’ cheese (key word: used), i don’t like cake or frosting…

fave holiday: christmas! haha, its also my birthday around there in my defense.

have a wonderful friday!

I LOVE wraps- the ones I use aren’t doughy/heavy at all. They are lavash flax and oat bran ones and HUGE so definitely got the filling:bread ratio right. I think the problem with wraps is they fall apart with too much filling, so there is more wrap than innards. Have a look for lavash- tastes more like pitta :D

1. Any popular foods you dislike? Potatoes! They taste like dirt to me. Anything citrus flavoured, anything with ginger and anything with nutmeg. I don’t like capers but that’s pretty common. I also really don’t like crunchy foods- crackers, pretzels, nuts, etc. Most of the foods I don’t eat are more a texture thing than a taste thing.

2. What’s your favourite holiday? I like 4th July just because I have happy memories of spending it with my best friend in NYC :D

I like most foods. Exceptions are onions that aren’t cooked. I love coconut flavor but hate coconut texture. I’m not crazy about the taste of walnuts but I can eat them. I don’t like ground turkey. Anything more than mildly spicy.

2. My favorite holiday would probably be Halloween because it’s fun to dress up and I like scary things. I like Thanksgiving and Christmas but since getting married it is juggling between my parents and his divorced parents so it’s way too hectic. Now this year my cousin is getting married the Saturday after Thanksgiving and I’m a bridesmaid so I’ll have to eat 3 dinners and then drive 5 hours so I can be at the rehearsal on Friday!

Halloween is the one time of year I get to wear fishnets. They are so slutty and trashy but I love them! lol!

They were really challenging, but I liked them, and have added them in to my workout sometimes.

I don’t like most wraps either. I got some new ones at Trader Joe’s that are whole wheat/corn–140 calories, and 5 grams fiber. I really like the taste a lot!

Just kidding. I actually used to hate anything pumpkin flavor.. now I can’t get enough!

Did you do 15lb dumbells on the shoulder press?? That’s insane!!

Fortunately for me, there are very few foods that I don’t like. But, I did find out I’m not a fan of the chocolate flavored LARABARs. I like the others, but the cocoa just didn’t do it fo rme. Actually I am giving away the rest of my stash on my website today! Head over and put in an entry if you like them.

2. I’m with ya on the Halloween love. It’s great getting to see the imagination that goes into different outfits. I try to make it a point to create a new costume every year. Any ideas on things I should try?

I’m up for putting in a guest posting.

- I don’t like almond butter (GASP!)
- I cannot stand raw tomatoes (hurt my tummy)

My favourite holiday:
- I *love* Christmas. I just love how excited my son gets when we bring out the decorations and I love all of the family time around the holidays. I also love baking and hosting an annual family cookie exchange and potluck. Love it all!

It reminds me that I haven’t lifted in FOREVER. Thank you for the reminder.

Ok, canned pumpking I can kind of see, but I am not sure I can forgive you for not liking Christmas ;) Just kidding. Um, I don’t like raw tomatoes, Well, I hate them. And mayonaise.

Favorite holiday…well…I’m sure you can gues! Hehe. Either Christmas or Thanksgiving :D
