Good snacks, good food!

I am a snacker, mostly a sweet snacker but I am getting those salty cravings more and more these days. So, while trying to satisfy my cravings I want it to be at least good for me!! So, I got me a bag of Food Should Taste Good Original Sweet Potato Chips and let me tell you they were good!! I love sweet potatoes and they are even better in chip form! 

One great thing about these chips is the ingredient list states: Sweet Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Sea Salt. That is what I call the right kind of ingredient list. No extra crap to mess up your belly!!

The other reason why I enjoyed these chips is my 1 1/2 year old daughter loves them as well!
I would say that little girl ate the majority of the chips!! And she got mad when I would grab a few out of the bag! LOL!!
 
Now I know the go-to snack to keep her happy and satisfied! 

You definitely need to get a bag and try these, they are a great snack with a wonderful sweet and salty flavor. It is important to me to have a go to snack for me & my family and this is definitely one of those!!

Food Should Taste Good have many different flavors of Tortilla Chips as well!! Check out their website at www.foodshouldtastegood.com for more info!!

New kicks!!

So, I got me a new pair of running shoes and can I tell you they are great!! They are Scott eRide Support 2.

I had heard of Scott running shoes before but had never tried them. I googled them and found fantastic reviews so I thought why not give them a try! 

I took them out for a short run and can I tell you I was pretty impressed! 
I have been having issues with my plantar fasciitis and running in these shoes did not irritate it during or after the run. That made me very happy!!

To steel a quote from Brooks! Run Happy!!

Running the trails!

I love trail running, it is pretty, serene and keeps you on your toes or you will find yourself on your face!! Ha!! 
There are lots of trails on the woods behind my house and the great thing is most of them are marked so hopefully you won't get lost. Being in the woods can really get confusing especially if you are not paying attention to your surroundings. 
You definitely want to pay attention to your feet so you don't fall but you also need to scan the trail ahead of you. You never know what you are going to come across.
Here are some pics from my trail runs last week:
Decided not to take this trail...
Nice view of part of Lake Fairfax.
