Hi guys! I’m sure you’re tired of hearing this…..and believe me, I’m tired of saying it, but I’m SUPER busy at work right now. So, since the brain power that I would use to come up with a really cool blog post is all used up; you get a really cool giveaway {at the bottom of the post}.
Before I get to that giveaway, let me do just a little bit of rambling, so I actually feel like I’ve posted something of substance. Yesterday morning, I changed up my Paleo Pumpkin Pancake just a bit and I loved the results. I used 2 tbsp of ground flax instead of coconut flour and 3 egg whites instead of 2 eggs. I cooked it very slowly on medium heat and it turned out fabulous.
If you’re looking for a tasty recipe to use up some ground meat; last night I made Kristin’s mini BBQ chedder meatloaves and the recipe was a definite winner. I followed her recipe exactly, but left the onions out of a few meatloaves for the kids. They loved them!

In other news…. I heard on the radio yesterday about a new study out by National Institutes of Health saying that
people who drink four cans or more of soda daily are about 30 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression than people who don’t drink soda. Coffee drinkers are about 10 percent less likely to develop depression than people who don’t drink coffee.
What do ya’ll think about that? I’ve also heard the argument that, perhaps, people with the tendency to become depressed are simply more likely to drink these beverages in the first place. Who knows, but I do like the coffee finding. That’s my beverage of choice and luckily I’ve never been much of a soda drinker.

I’m watching some American Idol while I’m typing and I really like it so far. Although, the constant bickering between Mariah and Nicki could get very old. What did ya’ll think about it?

Well hopefully my Brussels sprouts have digested because I need to get my run on. Probably a little more info than you need.
I’m off to do an hour run on the treadmill and I have Bachelor to finish and Biggest Loser to watch. I love when TV actually makes me excited to run! If you run on a treadmill, is there something specific you like to watch to kill the time? I also really like listening to music, especially when I’m doing speed work.
Okay, enough of the rambling and on to the giveaway…..
I’ve raved before about how much I love Angie’s popcorn before. They had a white chocolate peppermint flavor around the holidays that was to die for and I’m currently in love with the sweet & salty variety. I haven’t tried a flavor I didn’t like. Brad REALLY loves to devour this stuff. It’s especially great because most of the varieties contain simple, natural ingredients with no added preservatives. Here is the link to Angie’s popcorn website to check out all of the products and get info on the nutritional stats. The people at Angie’s popcorn were sweet enough to send me several bags to sample and a couple of bags to give away.
To be entered to win two bags of Angie’s popcorn… the Sea Salt Popcorn & Salted Caramel Popcorn just comment and tell me your favorite variety of popcorn.
For extra entries- like my Facebook page, follow me on twitter, follow me on pinterest and leave separate comments for each extra entry.
I’ll choose a winner randomly on Monday the 20th at 11:00 pm. Good luck!
See you on Friday!

I am a popcorn lover! That brand sounds great. I used to be a diet soda drinker but have switched over to coffee and kombucha and fell so much better. But let me tell you the diet soda wasn’t easy to give up!

I love both the Bachelor and the Biggest Loser, but don’t you just hate how they are on at the SAME time?? I hate when that happens and I, unfortunately, do not have DVR
. I usually watch the Bachelor “live” and then either watch the Biggest Loser online, or sometimes they replay it on the weekends. Gotta make it work, right? 
I am so excited about this giveaway! I am a HUGE popcorn lover. I have tried Annie’s popcorn before and have loved it, but I have yet to try either of these kinds. I would especially love to try the salted caramel variety..yum!

For an extra entry, I “liked” your page on Facebook. I really want this popcorn!

Ha ha!
I don’t think it’s such a stretch to think that consuming cans of chemicals might do damage to how your brain functions and impact depression. Especially in such large quantities!!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance Learning About Coconut Oil
Agree!
Good thing I consume absurd amounts of coffee everyday.. it’s my lifeline
I don’t watch Idol anymore. I got into The Voice (Adam Levine is a dreamboat). I thank my lucky stars that I pay the $20/mo for a DVR exactly for The Bachelor and Biggest Loser being on at the same time. I’ve been so busy this week that I have both to watch still so plan on putting my feet up with some wine and watching them tonight!
That sounds fabulous and I agree with you on Adam Levine!
I was a diet coke drinker! And Sprite Zero! I stopped it all completely and have no craving at all anymore. Is that giveaway also outside US? If so – I love the Salted Caramel flavor!

I used to watch AI all the time, but I’m not really sure how I feel about the new judges. I’m not really a big fan of Mariah or Nicky, but I guess I’ll just wait it out to see how they do. I am, however, a big popcorn fan and that salted caramel one sounds -amazing- I’m all about the sweet and salty combos, so I’d love to try it.

I love kettlecorn sprinkled with a little dark cocoa powder, or regular popcorn with ranch seasoning and chili powder!

I air pop my own popcorn and put my own butter and salt on it.
My favorite popcorn is any popcorn with cheese!!
Yum! I love Angie’s popcorn! I haven’t tried her salted caramel but it sounds like it would be my favorite! I have tried her dark chocolate sea salt and LOVED it!

I like buttered popcorn the best.
I’m so glad I gave up sodas. I used to live of diet coke. They are so bad for our bodies!
Kettle corn is my favorite type of popcorn but its so high in sugar that I only have it on a rare occasion.
I love popcorn! I think my favorite flavor is regular salted or white cheddar!
Kettle corn for sure!
