First off, I’ve decided I’m coming to visit every single one of you guys just so I can give you a hug and hang out. SERIOUSLY y’all are SO flipping sweet!!! Since I got so much rad feedback from my first vlog yesterday, I’m totally gonna be doing more vlogs in the future. Get excited cuz there’s gonna be a lot of Southern accent action up in yo hood 8)

Onto the point of this post…

We’ve all heard of them. We’ve all been guilty of them. We’ve all wanted a sloth for a pet at some point…or is that just me?
…
I am a bad girl.
This week, I have 100% mastered all seven deadly sins with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back while jumping on a pogo-stick.

Let’s take a lookskies in What I Ate All Week form–
1. Anger—I over-baked my sweet potato cookies and they came out oober dry because my oven timer failed to beep. Not cool oven, not cool.
~~~~
2. Greed—The only apple I love MORE than honeycrisps and pink ladies…SWEET TANGO apples!! So when I saw my number one lover at the grocery store, I may’ve bought all of the pretty ones and just left bruised, nasty, small ones.
~~~~
3. Sloth—My inner lazy kitchen diva thoroughly delights in plopping leftover turkey muffins, straight up pico de gallo and frozen microwaved edamame on a plate and calling it dinner.
~~~~
4. Pride—I bought little kid Lion King silverware at the Disney store!!! I’ve been using them for everything mwahaha RAWR
(Cottage cheese, frozen raspberries, hi lo cereal, and globs of peanut butter–sorry for the craptastic phone picture)
~~~~
5. Lust—It’s official, I’m in love. I visited home last weekend to pick up some fall clothes and to say hi to my parents…my mom had baked vanilla cupcakes from scratch with buttercream frosting. She sent me home with a ton and honestly, if ever I could be in love with a dessert, this is it.
~~~~
6. Envy—My meal also from last weekend when I went to Whole Foods with my parentals. I wish my college town had one!! Whole Foods’ hot/cold bar makes me weak in the knees.
(Rotisserie chicken, turkey breast, romaine lettuce, random bean sprouts, oven roasted veggies-squash, carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, red peppers, green beans and onions. This weighed over a pound, and I demolished it baby)
~~~~
7. Gluttony—One word: pumpkin. My palms are beginning to have an orange sheen.
(Libby’s pumpkin, greek yogurt, ON vanilla casein protein powder, peanut butter—later I added Grapenuts cereal on top for some crunch)
And of course in pumpkin smoothie form…
~~~~
Happy WIAW!!! Thanks again Jenn for hosting our grand affair!
Which one of the seven deadly sins do you commit frequently? Ever owned a pogo-stick? (I never have and it brings a tear to my eye)
And of course…best thing you’ve eaten this week?


This is so cute
Imma do a vlog today too
All that pumpkinie stuff looks aaaaamazing – if I could I would totally reach through the screen and steal it from you.
I want you to come live with me in London we’d have a grand old time shocking everyone with your texan accent
did you mean pride as in lion pride? because if you did I caught it. if you didn’t……well then there you go!
it’s a bit embarassing how much I get at the WF salad bar. eyes are ALWAYS too big for stomach = getting too much and geing too full. The one here is like 3 different bars!! double sided each. wow!!
This week: Anger- seminar was moved and loss of job (more on that soon!)
greed-cant say I’ve been greedy
sloth- didn’t go to the library to read…oops
pride- proud of….being able to explain structuralism to my dad?
lust-I kind of like some guy I met but he hasn’t texted me so BLAH
envy-I envy your WF trip!
gluttony- gobbling squash!
not as proficient as you my friend
Lion king spoon and fork!!!! They’re extraordinarily cute!!! And they’ll make me want to eat longer! On a side note, mind sharing those apples?
Great post, this is a fun idea
I just bought my first sweet tango the other day, haven’t tried it yet. I’ve heard great things though, can’t wait!

Go the orange sheen! Embrace that shiz! I sure do hahahaha.
Aw man, those are the cutest lion king cuterly I did ever see!
envy: of your sweet tango apples – i’ve never heard of them & now i want them BAD!
sloth: my dinner tonight was frozen spinach mixed with greek yogurt & almond milk (i didn’t even put it in a blender – it’s a lazy girl’s green smoothie!)
greed/gluttony: i received the BEST box in the mail from a certain lil lady! and i may have eaten the purefit bar by myself in the driveway so that i didn’t have to share!!!
it was awesome!
Aww yay!!! Dude aren’t those bars the bomb?
I’ve committed gluttony!! I’m starting to get that orange glow as well… I just can’t stop eating pumpkin and kabocha and sweet potatoes! Why must fall be so kind to us?! The orange needs to spread out across the seasons. I also recently tried the sweet tango apples. They are DA BOMB.
if you have committed them all, them I have too, and them some! eek! love the turkey muffins. Best idea for meat. haha!
Sloth when it comes to making food. I hear ya. Luckily, I’m not too picky and as long as I’m satisfied and cooking just for myself (my housemates don’t complain after seeing my meal of microwaved frozen veggies and 5 minute tuna salad
), and as long as I’m getting the proper nutrition I need I’m all set.
Great post by the way, putting a theme to WIAW is super cool.
It’s probably anger for me when cooking goes wrong or something doesn’t taste as good as I wanted it to.
i commit envy a lot…because even though there is a whole foods near me, i am jealous of those people that can go there to eat everyday haha
I bet I commit the Envy one as terrible as it is.
Alex, would you consider me a copy cat if I did a VLOG? Your VLOG inspires me to do one!
How come you are so creative with your posts? It´s amazing and so entertaining I looove it
and omg the Disney silverware, how cute is that??
my mom´s very concerned about it. She´s like telling me every time I see here, that too much of a good thing is still too much etc. haha, but my squash and carrot addiction in deed is serious, ridiculous, I´d say- still going strong after four years
By the way my palms are orange, too
xoxo Mel
No way! You should totally go for it!!
Woo! Orange palms unite!!
You are sooo so clever and creative! Stop it lady
But don’t because your posts are just the best! Yes to alll of these… especially the pumpkin one! And I overdid a batch of cookies over the weekend, sad day indeed!
I NEED a utensil that has my name on it..AND lion king ones too!! Hahaha. I experienced greed with the brownies I made..I mayyy have taken my share and everyone else’s share when I polished them off last night. Oops.
Like usual, your eats look delicious!
i love this post…fave WIAW ever. Also loved your vlog yesterday and am glad I’m not the only one in blogworld with a southern accent.
deadly sins…um…gluttony, c’est moi.
Whooooaaa I want ALL your food, please!
I love how pride is the lion king…bwahahaha.
Yay for more vlogs!!!
If you come visit me, you can camp out with me at my house. I think youuu shouullddd
Anywhoo- I love this. It was so funny. Recent sin? Greed! I hid the sunbutter jar from my dad…. tee hee.
Hes a nut butter lover like myself…If I didn’t hide it he would have eaten it all!
Ooohhhh scandalous!
I’ve done the same thing with cottage cheese with my dad haha!!
Lion King silverware?! Now I’m totally coming to visit you just to use it
Your Whole Foods salad looks so yum!!!! I’ve only been to the salad bar once but it was so good and I really need to go again. I don’t have much of an excuse because I have a Whole Foods a few miles from me!
my sister would LOVE your lion king spoons! she met her husband while doing the disney college internship. i, on the other hand, would hate the spoons!
i find that eating with designs and pictures makes me go wacky about the food and promotes the bulimic part of my soul!
the best thing that i ate all week? definitely last night’s salad at the cook shop in chelsea. i blogged about it here if you’re interested to read! http://nicoleandgwendolyn.com/2011/10/12/the-new-york-birthday-bash/
That’s such a cute theme for a post! The Lion King silverware is adorable
I love the format of this post, you’re so creative
I’m with you on the Wholefoods, the nearest one to me is in London!
And I absolutely love vanilla cupcakes! Want to send some my way?
I am lusting after those lion king silverware!! I used to be obsessed with that movie
I love how creative you are with your blog posts! This made my day
awesome post!! this is so creative
i am really loving your loin king spoons…i wish disney world was near wisconsin!
We have two pogo sticks at my house actually, and my dad can use them with no hands!
I love this post alex! So clever! I seriously want to try Whole food salad bar now. I never even been to Whole food before! Shocking, I know.
Omg you have have have to go!!!
This is such a clever post! I’m totally guilty of all of them, especially anger most recently because I keep missing my train on my way home from school and just want to get home to make dinner haha! Those cupcakes look absolutely perfect, and I totally want the disney cutlery! (envy!)

Mmmm looks good. Aw, I love the lion king silverware!
Best thing I’ve eaten this week = homemade flatbread veggie pizza!
“I demolished it baby” HAHAHAHAHAHA oh gee Alex, how I love you
YES, definitely HAVE owned a pogo stick
Best thing I ate all week? Maybe the bowl of banana bread oats I just gobbled up!? Wowwwwwwwwwww
I LOVE the theme of this post! I laughed along with you all the way to the end.
No pogo sticks here, although I have pogoed before in my youth
As far as sins go.. overnight oats could be pretty slothful, haha, and I’m definitely overly proud of the food I’ve made/am eating. And I’m always envious of other foodie posts… and, ugh, I guess you should just sign me up for all seven.
I loved your vlog!
I am loving that Lion King spoon and fork…super cool!
Yum those cupcakes look delish!
I’d so let you stay with me anyday girl! youre so nice!!!! I committ them all guess I am bad too
