Insta-Munchies

Full blown reviews and updates are experiencing a bit of a hiccup while I deal with the madness that is a short sale to get my new home, but you guys can follow what I'm buying/snacking & eating on Instagram @sometimesfoodie! 

Check out this little teaser to see what you're missing out on.

My PC is back from the dead!

Welp, my PC died Thursday night, and it took me (and my amazing friend Anthony who is a technological angel) all weekend to get it back up and running. It started with my CPU fan dying and turned into a whole mess of problems. Fun times. 

Now that my PC (I named her Synergy, get the reference?) is back from the dead I'm writing up reviews to get things back on track, but in the meantime, you can see what I ate this weekend by visiting my Instagram page, @SometimesFoodie.

Desk Lunch!

Chinese food desk lunch! Gen Tsos lunch special, like always. ▪ ▪ ▪ #sometimesfoodie #desklunch #chinesefood #takeout #cheatmeal #cheatday #generaltso #junkfood #foodporn #yummy

Last night's dinner was nothing special, just a bunch of leftovers, and today I'm being super lazy and having a take-out desk lunch. The General Tso's special is super cheap, but it's not great. The peppers may be there, but the dish isn't spicy at all, and the chicken bits are dry and stringy. (Plus I asked for white rice...) 

It's not the best tasting lunch in the world, but it thankfully warms me up. This office AC is freezing me to death!

More Instagram Goodness

A wall of summer seltzers! I'm a recently converted seltzer drinker and every flavor on this palette is a winner!! ▪🍹▪💖▪🍹▪ #polarseltzer #polar #seltzer #drink #bjs #beverage #drink #fruit #sometimesfoodie

I've been posting more shopping and cooking images of what I'm eating and drinking in my daily life over on Instagram. These Seltzers are AWESOME. The best one is the raspberry & pink lemonade, but every single one is delicious!

What's Cookin'? - Instagram Eats

Not everything I eat makes it to the blog for a formal write-up. Over on Instagram I've been posting what I've been cooking up in the kitchen. Here's a few highlights! Be sure to follow me @SometimesFoodie to see what I'll be cooking up next!

Taking a break from my fancy food show photos to bring you tonight's dinner: vegetarian cheeseburger pizza! I normally use chopped tomatoes, but I was all out, so I used this sun dried tomato ketchup instead. Very tasty! 👍🍕🍔 #Sometimesfoodie #traina #cheeseburger #pizza #sundriedtomatoes #gardein #beeflessground #burger #food #cheeseburgerpizza

Tonight's dinner: chopped lettuce, red onion, and crispy chicken strips with sweet & spicy mustard wrapped up in a tortilla. Based on a wrap I used to buy when I was in college. So simple, but sooo good. #Sometimesfoodie #aldi #aldicooking #dinner #wrap #food #easydinner

Follow Sometimes Foodie on Instagram!

I made a Instagram account for Sometimes Foodie that's separate from my personal/art account Poison_and_Antidote. (Because I'm sure most of your foodies don't care about my figure drawing and all the photos of my adorable dog.) 

I post products and photos that aren't on the blog, as well as what I'm cooking and eating on a daily basis, so here are a few of my posts to see what you've been missing out on.

Insta-Foodie: What I ate on Sunday

If you're not following me on Instagram, you're missing out on all the stuff I've been munching on behind the scenes.

Along with massive amounts of junk food I share on the blog, I also like to cook and bake, so here's what I made on Sunday for my boyfriend and I. (He's vegetarian, so a lot of the food I've been eating/cooking lately is meatless, since I personally feel uncomfortable eating meat when we're together, but rest assured, I still love bacon and buffalo wings. I'm an omnivore with strong lean to the veggie side.) 

Homemade #blueberry waffles for #breakfast. I'm getting back into cooking. I really missed it. #Sometimesfoodie

Some #whitepizza for lunch/dinner. The crust was store bought, because I was being lazy, but I made the cheese sauce from scratch and added some spinach and thinly sliced tomatoes. Not too shabby! #Sometimesfoodie #pizza #dinner

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I know I slacked off on posts again, but I have a (depressing) reason why. My car was totaled on my way home from work Wednesday evening, right before the holiday, and I've been dealing with all of the legal complications.

If you follow my Instagram, you've already seen the photo of my car and my post explaining what happened. No need to worry, I'm okay and no one in the accident was seriously injured.

Sorry everyone, I’ll have to post my food reviews later tonight when I get home. Someone hydroplaned last night on the highway on my way home from work and totaled my car. I’m okay (a little sore) but I was fully stopped and wearing my seat-belt at the time. Since it’s the holidays I won’t get the accident report until maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday, once I have that report and the other car’s insurance has my claim, I can get a rent a car or get a new used car to get to work, but for now… I’m house bound. (Which is fine by me, I’m sore anyway.) I'm at the chiropractor right now getting xrays just to be safe, but I’m okay and no one in the accident was seriously injured.

My muscles are sore, but look at my poor car. (She was named Misty. RIP Misty.) I've been busy doing all the fun legal stuff that comes with having your car smashed. I've already been to see a chiropractor, I have a script to get x-rays (just in case), called all the insurance companies involved, got a copy of the police report, my mother drove over and got a copy of my car's release paperwork for the other party's insurance to look it over and assess everything, and now I just need to wait for the holidays to be over for all the legal-wheels to start turning and help me get my life back together. I need to get a rent a car or something to get to work on Monday, and start looking for a used car to replace mine so I can get to my day job, which is an hour away from my home, after the rental car stuff ends. 

I'm trying to keep a positive outlook, but let's be honest. This sucks! I'm trying to get some reviews together tonight and queue things up so things can posts normally while I deal with this fiasco, so NEW POSTS ARE ON THE WAY~!

Have a lovely holiday and stay safe! 

Teaser & Insta-Foodie

I was busy doing a ton of graphic design work and book binding, so I didn't get to finish up tonight's review, here's a little teaser photo to tide you over until I finish typing it up later tonight after work.

I also added some Instagram foodie photos that haven't made it to the blog under the cut!

I'm back!

I just got back from New York and boy, are my arms tired. Seriously, I feel like my body is one giant bruise, but the show was absolutely amazing! I've been updating my tumblr and instagram accounts with some of my antics and adventures, because they are easier to update from my mobile than this blog, but full write ups are on the way!

In the meantime, here are some photo-bullet-points from my trip!

Here’s a little taste of the stuff I’m posting over on Instagram.

A lot of the foodie stuff on my Instagram account doesn’t make it to the blog, so check out my account to see what I'm munching on in my daily life. (Or what new stuff I see on the shelves.

All three sound tempting #Aldi #Sometimesfoodie #salad #guacamole
