1. I’m back with a vengeance in regards to my rice cake addictions. The ideas are non stop, I need to open a rice cake shop. Latest and greatest: PB and honey rice cake with…jalapenos! SO good.
2. I won a free half marathon that is scheduled for July 13th. I haven’t been running…at all…like..at all at all. I’m scared…
3. Text messages like this complete me…
I like to make treats for my hikes, and it’s nice to know they are good.
4. I’ve officially been sucked into Orange Is the New Black…damn.
5. Seattle is my favorite.
6. I love my blog layout, but hate how it makes my pictures look. The only way to get a clear detail is to click on them..ain’t no body got time for that! Not sure what I wanna do because my pictures ARE my blog.
7. My cat goes bananas for watermelon.
8. I go bananas for Chipotle. After my near death experience while hiking last week (OK SO I am exaggerating a bit) I ate a burrito the size of a small horse…all of it…and I didn’t stop to breathe.
9. My cat food costs me $40 for two small 6lb bags. My cats = My kids.
10. Today I’m off to Seattle for a meetup full of coffee, donuts, and Green Lake adventures with Alex!! SO JAZZED! Happy weekend!

Oh my gosh. Once you start OITNB, there’s no going back. I was sooo addicted! Best of luck at training for your free half marathon! I do the same thing with food for my pup. It’s about $65 for one big bag of food! Gotta treat the kids!
P
Good thing the half is in Seattle 😉
You will do great, I know it!!!
Megan
I binged on Orange is the new black a few weeks ago. I am pretty sure I have about 3 episodes left to watch. I did work on those seasons!
I will also say that ALL of your sweet treats make me swoon.
SKYPE DATE ASAP.
Have fun on your Seattle date!
Brittany
This date makes me miss you, because it was where we first adventured together. Who knew I was such a sentimental sap eh? YES SKYPE!
karla @ finding my fit
OITNB is addicting. season 1 took me all of about 12 hours to get through. i’m waiting for my roommate to catch up to watch season 2 though–not sure how much longer i can hold out.
i really want a coffee/donut/hiking extravaganza in WA!
The Zen Kat
PB and jalapenos and rice cakes? Tell me more! haha
Can’t wait to see you! 🙂
Food, Booze, & Baggage
Your cat eats watermelon! Next time we have watermelon, I’m going to have to see if Eddie (our cat) is interested (my guess is not unless he thinks the dog wants it-then he will eat it for spite). We also are those people who buy the grain-free expensive food for the animals, but Eddie has done well on it (less throwing up) and lost some of his belly fat.
Britta
Sweet lawd, I’ve fallen off the blogging radar? HOW? Yuck, I need to get back asap.
I’m not sure how I feel about your current rice cake concoction, however, I will give it a try – ya never know!! hahaha Have a blast in seattle and please instagram a pic or town of a donut.. yum yum yum!

Heather @ HeatherRunsFast.com
Open a rice cake and coffee place NOW. Please and thank you. I totally agree about the pics… I LOVED your huge amazing pics before. I need to start watching Orange is the New Black. Eat a donut for me 🙂
Lauren
I’m still stuck on #1… rice cake, pb, and jalapeno?? Come on. Really?! Haha. How is that good?!
Brittany

Shawna

Amy @ A Desert Girl
Your upcoming weekend in Seattle sounds like it will be a blast! Have fun! And yay for cat-kids!
cardiogirl82@saltandpepperthearth.com
Ewww! The rice cakes sound gross, but I am sure the combo works…you seem to know what you are doing in the recipe department. Love OITNB. Red is my favorite!
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy
Peanut butter, honey and jalapeno rice cakes? I love all those things, but I wouldn’t have thought to put them together. Definitely going to give that a try though.
The Vegan 8
Jalapenos on peanut butter on rice cakes?? That’s a new one, haha! But honestly, I am SO addicted to jalapenos, that it actually sounds good!! Adorable pic of your kitty!!
Kelsey
I’m in love with your blog design right now!
Brittany
Thank you! ❤
Ashley
Sweet and salty is for suckers…sweet and SPICY is where it’s at haha. I need to try the PB+jalapeno pairing. Also, I want to be in Seattle. I don’t know if I could live there, but it’s on my travel bucket list for sure.
Matt @ Runner Savvy
Jalapenos on rice cakes!?
Laura @ the gluten-free treadmill
I love Seattle too (and am wishing I was there!)! Have another amazing hiking weekend!
kathy @ vodka and soda
your pictures appear fine at my end. and i’ve only been to seattle once – went to vancouver and as a day trip, headed over to seattle to visit 🙂
Brittany
GO TO Vancouver again…hell I can meet you there…we need to meet.
Alisha's Appetite
I love your blog design and think the pictures still look great dude. Seattle is so pretty, it’s on my bucket list of cities to visit- when I come can we pleaseeeee meet? Kthanks
Brittany
Thank you. OMG HELL YES we can meet, is that even a question. Please tell me you’re coming soon….. 🙂
Hannah
I had Chipotle last night! It was worth every single calorie 🙂
An Unrefined Vegan
You kinda lost me on PB+honey+JALAPENOS (?!) – but hey, I think you’re the bee’s knees anyway.
Ellie
MY confession is my awful gas at work that I did not have the courage to own up to…oops 😉
Brittany
Best comment on this entire post. HAHAHA. Story of my life.
Melanie
I’m amazed by the things you put on rice cakes! I need to try some of your creative ideas. Congrats on winning the race entry. That’s awesome. Good luck! I also can’t believe your cat likes watermelon!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
I adore rice cakes and honey, buuuuuuut I think I’d have to replace the jalapeños with almond butter — I’m a complete wimp when it comes to anything spicy, and even the thought of biting into a jala makes me tear up a little…
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
Maybe you can make your right hand side bar a little smaller so your images and wonderful words have more space in the center?
I love that your cat adores watermelon and you spend a small fortune on their food. Sometimes I think my cats eat better than I do. Oh well; they’re worth it.
You are the first person to make me see rice cakes as anything other than diet food. Well done my friend.
Brittany
I don’t have a custom website, but that would be a fantastic idea. You are always so smart. I happen to think the end of your comment is the best compliment. I hate that rice cakes are looked at as “diet foods” because whoa baby, I make them anything but!
Amalia
Have fun in Seattle! I wish I was the beneficiary of some of your sweets! I also think rice cakes are amazing (although jalepenos would kill me, I think I want mine with some avocado)
apartmentwife
rice cake shop? i would eat there for sure. maybe that could be your food truck? and you can cruise around portland and seattle taking photographs while filling people everywhere with your treats? it sounds ideal, right?
Brittany
This sounds so fantastic. I had a daydream the other day about driving around in my food truck selling a myriad of baked treats along with a few savory food items, including some rice cakes haha.
Khushboo Thadani (@KhushbooThadani)
Your jalapeno pic reminds me of when I was obsessed with cream cheese & jalapenos on rice cakes- SUCH a good combo! My confession is that no matter what, I just can’t go to bed without ending my night on something sweet- preferably chocolate 🙂
Choc Chip Uru
I go banana for your cat – kayoooote 😀
And I have a big love for tv series addictions!
Cheers

Rach @ This Italian Family
Oh man, I spend a small fortune on food for my dog. I hear you there. There is nothing wrong with your pets being your children, haha!
Missy
I. Cannot. BELIEVE. I never thought of PB and jalapenos.
OMGOMGOMG.
It is so on.
Gosh and you put it on something a little sweet?
I like your style. Always have but this pushes it up to max capacity.
I’m-a add pickles to mine. And jelly (preserves). Maybe …apricot?
Also? WordPress blog templates are so frustrating. I feel your pain.
There’s always at least one thing you don’t like.
Mellie Dee
Yay for free things!! You’ll kick butt regardless. You’re a beast! I wish I could do a blogger meet up. No one wants to meet me. haha
Ps. This is Melissa from Al Forno Mementos! … I updated my blog to Mellie Dee so it’s all new. Hope you still continue following my blog!
