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!!!

    Mine would have to be “Keep Calm and Love Goldens” because my Golden Retreiver Alfie is my baby and anytime I am having a stressful day he calms me down and makes me so happy 🙂

    Hey,
    I think I would go with something like
    “Keep calm and just smile”
    “Keep calm and love yourself”
    Both of which are things I easily forget. I usually do a lot for other people but forget to take my needs serious or just relax and be happy.

    Yum that chicken taco salad looks delicious! I would have never thought about using taco seasoning, I’m definitely going to try it.

    As for my phrase:

    Keep Calm and Keep Smiling OR
    Keep Calm and Love Sigma (My sorority means the world to me).

    I am a long time reader & this is my first comment. I LOVE the Vizsla print! I have 2 adorable Vizslas and would really love to get that print! Just a side note, Barb spelled “Vizsla” wrong on the pictured print- make sure she doesn’t send you one with the wrong spelling 🙂 I love your blog!

    “Keep Calm and Love Liftng” with a barbell pic on it
