Who Wants Chocolate?

February 3, 2011 by Julie 547 Comments

After basically ignoring vegetables yesterday, I wanted to be sure to incorporate a bunch of the nutritious little guys in my lunch this afternoon.

Naturally, a salad seemed like the easiest way to do this!

Thursday's Lunch

In the mix:

  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Large carrot, chopped
  • Orange bell pepper, chopped
  • One celery stalk, chopped
  • Roast beef
  • Pace black bean and roasted corn salsa

Reunited with the Veg

Phew! The salsa had a kick to it and made this whole salad taste very flavorful!

I was thankful for a cup of Greek yogurt to cool my mouth down a bit after this meal.

I was also quite grateful for some Guylian chocolate.

Guylian

I’m always open to a little creamy sweetness to wrap up a meal!

Ooooh Yes

Wanna know the best part?

YOU can enjoy this chocolate, too!

When the wonderful people at Guylian contacted me to see if I would be interested in receiving a sample of this chocolate, I jumped at the chance. I’ve been enjoying Guylian chocolate for years and love the seashell-shape of the chocolate and the rich, creamy praline truffle center of each chocolate.

Now it’s your turn! Woo!

One PBF reader will receive a gift basket of this chocolate.

Chocolate For YOU!

In the basket:

  • Guylian Originals Seashells, 4.4 oz.
  • Guylian Praline Original Temptations, 4.4 oz.

To enter this giveaway, simply comment telling me about your FAVORITE way to enjoy chocolate… in cookies, cakes, brownies, on top of ice cream… let your chocolate dreams run wild! 🙂

I will randomly select a winner and announce the winner tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck!

    Chocolate is best enjoyed when you are laying with your mouth open under a chocolate fountain. Multiple flavors are preferable. 🙂

    I enjoy chocolate the most when it’s in the form of fudge, on top of vanilla ice cream with Spanish peanuts! (like a peanut buster parfait!)

    I had froyo for the FIRST time the other day! It rocked my world. One of the toppings I had on it was chocolate curls and it’s quickly become a fav. I’d love to repeat the froyo/chocolate combo over and over again!

    Perfect Valentines giveaway 🙂

    My favorite way to eat chocolate is either a fresh-from-the-oven brownie or in a fresh-from-the-oven cookie!

    I like things right outta the oven!

    Nothing beats when after filling ourselves silly after a family dinner–my mom makes her own cinnamon ice cream (vanilla ice cream + brown sugar + cinnamon + freezer time)and we top it off with her melted down Snickers bar hot fudge sauce—“Hungry Why Wait” definitely applies to this heavenly number…YUM!!

    I love chocolate and any dessert I eat must include chocolate in any form. I like to eat it all by itself, in ice cream, or in any baked good! If I am feeling naughty I like to add chocolate into my morning oatmeal. It is a perfect way to start your day!
