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!!!

    Ooooh what cute prints! Being from Maine I love the lobster one! If I could make my own it would be either “Keep Calm and Laugh” or “Keep Calm and Love”…good reminders all by themselves!

    I love these prints! There are so many I want, lol. I love the Cupcake one and so want the Be a Nerd one. But if I could make my own it would be Keep Calm and Love On OR Keep Calm and Om On for yoga <3. Ok, maybe Keep Calm and Love On.

    I’ve been reading your blog since about November-ish and I love it! Finally came out of hiding because I also love that print! I’d probably get it in something like ” Keep Calm and love triathlon”. Tris are something that keep me happy, healthy, and even.

    There are so many possibilities….. Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes is great. Keep Calm and Drink Coffee rings true! Keep Calm and Find Joy is a nice one. Keep Calm and Go Running is also very true for me. Thank you so much for the opportunity!

    LOVE all things “Keep Calm”. I wanted the “Keep Calm and Carry on” pillow from Target, but its gone. Sad face.

    I’d want to get either “Keep Calm & Drink Tea” or “Keep Calm & Run on” OR “Keep Calm & Love Yorkies”

    oh my… this would be hard. 🙂
