It’s been a while since I did any food/cooking related posts and I figure since it is the weekend before Christmas (crazy) I would do a little round-up of some recipes that sounds ohh so yummy to me.

the Big Apple became the first city in the country to implement a law forcing chain restaurants to post the calorie count of each food in the same size and font as the price.
In the past week I’ve moved so I’ve been learning about getting rid of items I no longer need, packing, unpacking and all those kind of fun things.
I’ve been learning something new every day in the month of July! Have you learned anything fun/random lately?
Yesterday I learned through YumSugar that several big label grocery items are shrinking in quantity yet keeping the same price. This information came from a Time magazine article stating that rising commodity and fuel prices are causing manufacters to either raise the price of food or lower the quantities. Harvard Business School Professor John Gourville explains this change to the fact that,"People are just more sensitive to changes in price than changes in quantity. Most people can tell you how much a box of cereal costs, but they have no clue how much is actually in it."
This month, Kellogg’s started shipping Apple Jacks, Cocoa Krispies, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks containing an average of 2.4 fewer ounces per box.
The changing product sizes are part of the reason the Bureau of Labor Statistics says groceries cost 5.8% more than the same time last year.
For a girl who loves to eat, this is not happy news
I have decided that this day is beginning to turn around. This morning I thought this day was going to turn out pretty blah but I came back from lunch and the whole world has changed. *did I mention I exaggerate a bit!*
The first email in my inbox read something like this … "Hello everyone,
We have no further changes to the website. Thanks for everything." This seriously made me want to do a happy dance. We have been working on this website for way to long.
Then when I was just getting over the joy of that email … one of my co-workers walked in with this crazy thing …
and said, hey girls this is a new monthly thing we are doing here at the office. Enjoy! You better believe I will enjoy this!
Yay for projects finally getting approved and yay for ice cream at work! Now if only it was Friday.
