Hey there April, welcome! This week on Beautiful Disasters…

Monday I showed you guys the High Protein Energy Balls. Super yummy and perfect for a quick bite. I loved having these around to just pop in my mouth before practice or have a couple before a big game. Great tasting, and pretty darn good for ya :)

Tuesday we had our first conference game of the soccer season and won 6-2. Awesome start to the season! Always fun to jump out with a big win to boost your confidence.

Wednesday I showed you guys the cheesy garlic drop biscuits I made. Super duper easy and pretty tasty. I love that you can totally change this basic recipe to whatever spices and ingredients you want in there. You can really spice these guys up by adding any herbs or spices you like, different cheeses, BACON, peppers, chocolate, you know…whatever works.

Thursday we had another soccer game…against the 3rd best team in the nation. We ended up losing 3-1, but hey, I think that’s an alright fight against 3rd in the country. It’s no win, but we did stop their shut-out streak!

Friday was a pretty great day! I had no school, I got to visit the wonderful kitchen of Red Hen and see where all the magic is made! My brother also came home for the weekend from LA!! Oh yeah, and I shared this yummy grilled honey chicken recipe with ya. Awesome for the grilling season, which is thankfully right about here! (hopefully I didn’t jinx myself there. You never quite know with this crazy Chicago weather)

Something new for you to check out!!! PART ONE

About a week ago I was kindly given the opportunity to taste and review a bunch of products. Some of them were a couple flavors of Calavo chips. They’re very big on being natural, and take much pride in their avocados. :)  To be honest I was super excited but a bit more than a little skeptical on some of the items.

I could NOT have been more shocked by the guacamole chips. Really, I think they might have been my favorite. Green chips have kinda just seemed a little freaky to me in the past.

I know, I was a chip racist.

I am better now. More accepting. I embrace all colors now. Green, you are great. More than great. Freaking awesome!

They are surprisingly addicting. However they do not taste exactly like guacamole but there is a resemblance of guacamole in there with a combination of unique spices that give it a distant and delicious taste. I am really having a difficult time describing them, just buy them yourself!!!

The sea salt chips were definitely no brussel sprouts dipped in mud, either. I have never been one of those sea salt fanatics. I guess I never really gave it a fair shot before.

Sea salt is my friend now.

It really makes the chips pop. You can really taste it in there without being over-powering. Somehow sea salt can’t be overpowering. Or I could just have a super high tolerance. I don’t know.

I tried these chips with some amazing salsas that are to be coming soon! Sooo delicious. My favorite one was the sweet pineapple ginger salsa with it. YUMMM.

So…Keep your eye out for Calavo chips!! You will be happy you did:) 

okay, more to come!

This new sea salt thing has made me even want to try sea salt chocolate, apparently it’s delicious!
