I hope you all had a wonderful week and that it’s not too cold wherever you are. The weather here has been very feisty to say the least- in the early morning and evening it’s in the 60s, but in the afternoon, it’s in the 80′s! Maybe Katy Perry was singing about Florida in her song when she says, “You’re hot then you’re cold…“

Here are a few meals I threw together this past week:

Simple breakfast of fried eggs, tomato slices, and a banana.

Lunch: Arnold Select Sandwich Thin with a Boca Burger, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard & crunchy purple grapes.

Pomegranate. YUM!

Studying while snacking on a Cherry Pie LARABAR. This one was good, but I do like the Apple or Key Lime Pie versions better.

I recieved my Zevia samples in the mail that I won from Kristi’s Giveaway! I have to say, these all-natural sodas taste exactly like the real deal! My roommate and I, who are soda lovers, have been sharing them because they taste so good.

On Zevia‘s website, they state that:

“Stevia is a natural herb native to South and Central America. For centuries, native Americans of Paraguay and Brazil called it the “sweet leaf” and used it to sweeten native foods. ZEVIA contains none of the chemically processed artificial sugar substitutes, artificial flavors or artificial colors found in other diet sodas.”

Root Beer is my favorite kind of soda pop, so of course, it was the first one I had to dive into. I was so surprised that it tasted and looked like actual Root Beer. Zevia Root Beer was so refreshing with my grilled chicken and veggie dinner. I have to give the wonderful folks at Zevia big props for their products. It’ll be interesting to see how these new “pure” sodas take over the markets and grocery stores.

Time to get cracking on a lot of studying! Sadly, I won’t be able to go the Gator game tonight because a huge test in Managerial Economics is quickly approaching. I hope everyone in San Francisco for the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival is having a wonderful time!
