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!

    Is there a wrong way to enjoy chocolate? Comfort chocolate: straight from the package, preferably dark chocolate, followed by something super salty. And then more chocolate.

    The best way to eat chocolate is pudding or pie or cookies or just by its delicious self.

    BTW that salad looked scrumptious

    Oh Chocolate how I love thee… let me count the ways! 🙂 I love those little shells, haven’t had them in years!

    My favorite way to enjoy chocolate is to melt it in the microwave add some peanut butter and eat it with a spoon…or my finger.

    My favorite way to enjoy it is definitely in cookies, but a close second is in Cadbury mini eggs…which I have on the brain since I saw them at the supermarket this past weekend! But really, I could eat chocolate wherever, however, whenever!

    Well, I consider chocolate to be one of the main food groups. I like it every way. I like powdered cocoa in my coffee & protein shakes. I like chips in cookies. I like it drizzled over fruit, potato chips, and in peanut butter. Yea, I guess you could consider me a chocoholic.
