Are you a Foodie?
Watch Shit Foodies Say for help deciding:
If I’m guilty of saying nearly everything in that video… am I a Foodie?
Just please tell me I’m not intolerable… 🙂

Speaking of foodies… we had an Atlanta Blogger Potluck on Saturday night.
It was awesome to get to try the food from the people whose posts make my stomach growl.

In attendance: Emily (former blogger), Tina, Stacy, Carol, Traci, Laura (another former blogger), Alayna, and me.
Lee was the photog… and was also nice enough to offer up her house to us, which was fantastic because we could all sit around a coffee table and talk. It’s hard to have a group conversation in noisy restaurants at long tables!
The food was delicious, as you might imagine.
At our table:
- Sweet Potato Tot Casserole from Stacy (Mama Pea recipe!)
- Greek salad from Tina
- Japanese Sweet Potato Casserole from Alanya (which is going to be in her cookbook!)
- Broccoli Salad from Carol
- Spinach Balls from Laura
- Spinach and Artichoke Dip from Lee
- Olive tapenade on toasts from Traci *I think*
- Brie and apples on water crackers from Emily *I think*
- My Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
- My Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies
- Nutella Sandwich Cookies from Laura *I think*
- Carrot cake from Alanya
My plate didn’t have an inch of room to spare…
And you better believe I cleaned my dessert plate too!
We sat around talking and eating for 4 hours! Topic ranged from running to general gossip to horror stories. Seriously – do NOT ever see the Human Centipede.
As you might imagine, it was all amazing and I left Lee’s house smiling and stuffed.

Now that the gluttony portion of this post is complete… it’s time for the workout recap.
The Dr. said to take 2 weeks off of running and focus on correcting the balance or strength between my hamstrings and quads, so I’ve been good. Today’s 70 degree Southern California-esque weather made me miss running a lot, but I did get out for a good walk. And a treat.
Workout Recap (1/30 – 2/5)
- Monday -Back/Bis, 1 mile run, 100 push-ups
- Tuesday – P90X Plyometrics, 100 push-ups
- Wednesday – Rest
- Thursday – Elliptical (intervals), This Body Rock Wk 2 Day 3 (which left me SORE), 100 push-ups
- Friday – P90X Bis/Back, Ab Ripper X, This “pinned” workout, 100 push-ups
- Saturday – Elliptical (intervals), This Body Rock Wk 2 Day 4, 100 push-ups
- Sunday – 4 mile walk, This Body Rock Wk 2 Day 5, 100 push-ups

What did you think of the Super Bowl? (By Super Bowl I mean Madonna’s rockin’ performance.)
If you could have a dream-blogger potluck, who are a couple of bloggers you would invite?
Great to meet you and now I have another great blog to read! 🙂
Did you know today is National Frozen Yogurt day? You should go back to Yoforia.
No way!!! Ahhh I think I will go tonight!
what a fun meetup!!!! so jealous. wish i could’ve been there!
You have no idea how sad I am that I don’t live in Atlanta anymore! Glad y’all had fun feasting on such delicious looking food. 🙂
I had so much fun hanging out! Hope you were able to sleep without thinking of someone under your bed the whole night! 🙂
Also, lets all go for a run together soon!
Fun! That’s a great turnout for a meetup.
Can’t wait to watch the video when I get home. I recently saw the one on what runners say, and it was pretty funny too.
OMG – that one had me rolling too. 🙂
That video was hilarious!! I never really questioned that I was a foodie, but I didn’t expect to have said that many typical comments- I need to get some new lines. 🙂
I’m sad I missed all the fun on Saturday night, why does everything always happen on the same weekend?!
You had to go off any be lazy by running 30-something miles… 😉
lol!! video was hilarious!!
I would LOVE to do a blogger meetup =)
So great to see you the other night! I really loved your cookies. 🙂
Yesterday I wanted fro-yo too because it was so nice out, but I never got around to it. I did however get a Kombucha because you had me craving one after Saturday night’s convo.
Woo hoo! I went to WF and got a fresh Buchi growler today.
Holy beautiful carrot cake! I’m going to have to suggest a pot luck for my next meet up.
Definitely! I want all of ours to be potluck now.
That potluck sounds like it was fantastic! And totally fun too. What a great idea!
That was very nice of Lee to offer to host. Sounds like it was a great time. The food looks outstanding!!
That potluck sounds like it was so fun! And, ah, can you send me some of those cookies? Thanks! 😀
Potluck was so fun!! (and delicious) I wish I could have met you for yoforia yesterday. As soon as you’re healed, we will go running! Hopefully by then I wont be as slow as a turtle lol.
You aren’t slow! I can’t wait until I can come for a run… and we can get yogurt after. 🙂
Ahahaha – that video was hysterical. I don’t know if I’m quite as over the top as that girl but the picture part was pretty accurate! 🙂
So jealous of your potluck fun! I hope my VA Blogger Meet-up this coming weekend leaves people as happy as you were. 🙂
I wish I could crash that one too. Have fun with everyone! 🙂
Hilarious video! sounds like a fun meet up with some good people and food!
I have said so many of those things in the video, guess I’m a foodie! Really fun meetup this time, the potluck format definitely gave us more opportunity to chat. The chocolate zucchini muffins rocked!
Glad I’m not the only guilty one!
I am still thinking about your squash casserole. I’ll pay/bribe you for the recipe. 🙂
Omg that video is too amazing. The picture thing was my favorite part. It drives my husband insane when I do that… Which is always. 😉 but he is actually the one who says most of that other stuff. I really love all those “shit “insert random name” say” I watch them all the time.
You should have seen us at the potluck! I think we waited a solid 10 mins to eat in order to get pics.
Love that you guys have such a tight-knit blogger friend base where you are!!! 🙂
Like I didn’t need another reason to move to Atlanta – I love the community there!
I think I’m an obnoxious foodie…
AND, I loved the SuperBowl and the half-time performance!
Atlanta would love to have you. Obnoxious foodies unite! 🙂
S*** foodies say… hahaha.. story of my life!
I’m totally making those zucchini chocolate muffins- they sound amazing! And i’m so glad you commented on my blog so I could find YOURS!
jealous of all that sass and good eats under one roof. they call it hotlanta for a reason, ow ow! congrats on food buzz popularity, too. Thats major. now make some more amazing food to share with me. I am die-hard recipe convert of yours thanks to the successes I’ve had thus far.
oh question: have you tried p90x insanity?
Thank you so much! More food to come… Wednesday. Giveaway tomorrow though, so come back! 🙂
I haven’t tried Insanity, but would love to. I hear its… insane. Have you tried it? I also want P90X2.
I love meet-ups 🙂 Yours sounds delicious!
I love how she drags the plate to the window to use natural light. haha ohh….. guilty.
You and me both! LOL!
Hahaha love those videos!! Hilarious! 😀
The potluck looks like it was fun! I wish we had enough Anchorage bloggers to try something like that. And that dessert–definitely worth the calories!
haha i admit, that video does sound just like you! but i love you… 😉
Seems almost natural that pot luck is what foodies would want…however I can see the pull of going to a restaurant (no clean up or preparation).
What a great looking great and some awesome looking food.
If only there were bloggers in Greensboro…oh well I guess I will just have to move so I can participate in these things.
You should just come to ATL for our next one!
How wonderful to get to meet up with other bloggers. I have not met any locally. Makes me sad. So very jealous.
Come down and join us in ATL any time! 🙂
You are so sweet. If I am ever there I shall take you up on that. Would be great to talk to fellow foodies and bloggers.xx
haha so i started thinking about this video today at work, and the difference between foodies and industry people… usually my dinner is “oh, the kitchen fucked that up? that’s my dinner!” and instead of “wait, let me take a picture!” it’s “hey, can you watch the floor for a second? i’m going to go slam this in the dish pit!”
LOL! I miss you. How are things are at HD1? Has Woodfire changed their menu again yet (translation: is it time to go back)?
HD1 is fantastic! I love it and you need to come see me ASAP. I’m down for Woodfire whenever you are my dear!
So happy for you! Let’s do it – or Bacc?
