Normalcy* has returned.
*I use that term loosely.
Vegas and I made it back from Vegas leaving the 115 degree temps behind. The sun is out again in San Diego and it’s a balmy 75 degrees.

Since we’ve been running around like crazy people, I have failed to make a new #strangebutgood recipe this week; however, I have been revisiting a few old favorites.
Even when we don’t have groceries, there are eggs and carrots in the fridge. This mornings breakfast was one of my old favorites: PB & Ceggs (peanut butter and carrot eggs).
Originally I made it as a vegan tofu scramble, but yesterday I did it with egg whites. It’s like carrot cake with a peanut butter-y twist. I ate it all the time when I was competing, but I’d eat it any way.
Then came the post-workout deliciousness. I made Vegas and I a protein-filled Mocha Beet Frappuccino.
I love this with or without the coffee – chocolate and beet is delicious on it’s own. Really. Even Vegas eats it.
There’s more though! Other have been making some #strangebutgood creations.
Sarah have my Plantain Zucchini Muffins a try and enjoyed them! I keep these in the freezer for a quick breakfast.
And then there’s Lay’s. The 2015 flavor finalists are out.
I don’t know if these are good, but they certainly are strange! I could see the Truffle being ok…

Unrelated, but strange… best search term ever on my blog yesterday: homemade sex toys. I’ve never blogged about this… but now I kind of want to.
Oh! And don’t forget the $15 giveaway!
What do you think of the Lay’s flavor finalists? Would you try them?
What’s in your fridge even when you’re in desperate need of groceries?
Mocha Beet Frappuccino sounds good! I have to try this! I always have all kinds of hot sauces in the fridge and a bottle of Baileys 😉
And I spit a little of my morning coffee on my screen at this search term! Seriously best ever 😉
You need to make a Bailey’s frapp! 😉
Home made sex toys eh? Sounds genuinely dangerous. You could have a link up! #SexToySaturday?
I’m not an ideas person…
Hahahaha! It would either be super popular or people would think I’d the creepiest person ever.
A few years ago Lays (or Walkers as it’s known in the UK) did the same competition – one of the options was squirrel flavour…. Seriously!!
I can’t even imagine what that would taste like. Chicken? LOL!
In other news, there was a dead squirrel on our walkway this morning…
I want to try the reuben chips. I’m really curious as to how they are going to pull that off. One of the great things about reubens is that it melts in your mouth, which I guess is how they are going to approach the flavor (as in, assaulted by all the flavors at ones). But I still want my roast beef!
You’re so right about the melt-factor. It makes the sandwich… you can’t make a chip melt.
Girl you would never survive Phoenix if you couldn’t survive Vegas a few days! Worst time of year to be here. That’s why we stay indoors.
I think it’s good to revisit old recipes! It’s something I should do more often. I always forget how much I like the things I’ve made in the past.
I love a good tofu egg scramble for breakfast!
115F???!?!?! Is it dry heat like Death Valley?? Insane.
Ooh I am totally making those plantain zucchini muffins today. I have all the ingredients!
I had no idea Lays made interesting flavors like that. I’m normally not a potato chip fan but apparently now that I’m pregnant I am. Maybe the truffles? Though I’m not sure 😉
I wish! It was actually really humid. Admittedly, that’s a rare thing. Normally it’s a dry heat. But 115 is hot no matter what!
I am intrigued by carrots and peanut butter…I think my lunch for the bar exam this week will be VERY strange, unsure about how good. It has to fit in 1/2 a big Ziploc (pencils etc in the other half) and non-perishable since the only ice pack will be my half-frozen water bottle. And sustain me for 12 hours from 6:30am when I leave my apartment to 6:30pm when I return. Wish me luck and creativity! I was actually thinking of a peanut butter-banana-sandwich with carrots so the carrots and PB caught my eye!
Ick, southern biscuits & gravy chips sounds GROSS! Haha. Agreed, truffle chips could be good.
Thanks for hosting the party! I just linked up.
I’m so glad you linked up!!! Dying for one of those sandwiches. 🙂
i could see the truffle being good too. Make a crust for a fish? i don’t know. But i’d eat it. And your beet coffee chocolate concoction. YUM!
I’d try it too… truffle black cod?
The Greek Gyro one sounds interesting. I would totally try it. We almost always have eggs, apples, oats, and coffee.
YUMM! I miss plantains and wish I had them here! Those muffins look delicious 🙂 Thank you for sharing your amazing creations! xo C
That’s so weird to me! I feel like the East should have bananas in all their forms!
LOL best search term ever! It’s been 105-110 in Rome since I arrived, but the past two days it’s dropped to 95-100, and it seriously feels magical. Almost cool enough to wear a coat 😉
I can’t feel bad for you. Because gelato.
I wish they sold the flavor finalist in a 4 back of single serve bags. They’d make a lot off people like me who want to try them, but don’t want 4 bags of chips. Otherwise I’ll never buy them.
Right?! I guess it’s too much for special packaging, but I’d definitely buy it!
I ate Dill Pickle and Poutine flavored chips last week. Surely one of those counts as strange. Or maybe what’s strange is the Poutine Chips had no actual meat in them, just flavoring.
Poutine?! I’d totally eat that, actually. Mostly because I think it’s funny to say poutine. I wonder if Putin like poutine?
i really want to try the Gyro chips! I’m thinking dilly, yogurt-y, charred deliciousness. But then again, I feel like these never live up to the hype.
