Keep Calm and Win a Print

July 15, 2010 by Julie 306 Comments

Today’s lunch was a no-brainer.

Leftover chicken taco meat  = Chicken taco salad

Chicken Taco Salad

Today’s taco salad included:

  • Ground chicken with taco seasoning
  • Crumbled hard shell tacos
  • Kerry & Loni’s Bean-Tastico Salsa
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Cucumbers
  • Grape tomatoes
  • Cucumber

Thursday Lunch

On the side, I enjoyed a ramekin full of fresh cantaloupe.

"Will you marry me?" "Yes, but we cant-aloupe!"

Quite the colorful and tasty spread!

Amish Friendship Bread Update

I brought about ¾ of a loaf of Amish Friendship bread to work today (the recipe I made last night yields two loaves) and within an hour, this is what remained:

The Remains

The highly addictive nature of this bread has led me to believe one thing, which I tweeted about earlier today:

Tweet, Tweet

I seriously couldn’t stop eating this stuff. Thank goodness it’s G-O-N-E.

I’m pretty sure that consuming more than half of a loaf of this bread within a 15-hour timeframe is not on most soon-to-be brides’ list of “things to do.” 😉

Phenomenal Giveaway!!!

As I hinted about yesterday, I have one heck of an awesome giveaway for you guys today!!!

I fell in love with an adorable print I saw on Tina’s blog back in January that proclaimed “Keep Calm and Love Pugs.” I thought it was so cute and also served as a good reminder to keep calm in life and cherish the little things that bring you joy.

When I saw another “Keep Calm” print show up on Caitlin’s blog last week, I was reminded of the print and immediately headed to the artist’s store (The Lobster Pot) on Etsy.com to browse the prints and purchase one for our apartment.

I contacted Barb, the artist, to see whether or not she could make me specialized print in honor of my slight obsession with Sadie. I requested a “Keep Calm and Love Vizslas” print and was excited when Barb emailed me back saying she could easily make me one!

When Barb saw that I had a blog of my own, I got an email from her saying she’d love to offer a giveaway on the ol’ blog.

Now you guys have a chance to win a Keep Calm print of your choice!

To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post telling me what you’d want your “Keep Calm” print to say.

I will randomly select a winner tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck! 😀

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    OMG!! How weird… I went to her Esty store the other day too after seeing her print on HTP. I want the pink running print, except I’m not a huge fan of the design of the shoe. This is the best giveaway EVER!!

    What an AWESOME give away! I love the idea too bad I’m not from the area to order one myself! If I had one I would have it say “Keep Calm and Laugh a Little” I think truthfully because I’m a laugh about it type person. Harping over the bad stuff doesnt help anything. I love the Viszlas I am just as obsessed with my dog 🙂 keep doing what your doing girl! you are awesome

    I’m going to have to show my puppy some love, too, and say “Keep Calm and Love Bullies”! Gus, our English Bulldog, is the love of my fiance and I’s life (besides each other of course). 🙂

    i love the “keep calm and keep running”. these posters actually mean a lot to me. i have one of the red replicas of the original saying “keep calm and carry on” in my classroom at school. it was a saying of the king of england (or at least attributed to him) during ww2.
    but i love that someone else is making some different ones!

    Ok, those customized posters are the cutest. I’d want mine to say, “Keep Calm and Love Bullies” with a silouette of a bulldog pup. Pups are the best.
