Healthy Chicks

I’ve been so caught up in Integrative Nutrition lectures, friends, work, and life in general that I completely let the week get away from me. In fact, I STILL haven’t written about the Bloggers for Boobs event I attended last week. Hosted by Pretzel Crisps and Likeable Media, this blogger cocktail party benefited the Susan G Komen For the Cure. Pretzel Crisps has been on an ongoing mission to raise money to donate for the Susan G. Komen Foundation through their pretzel sales, and will make a minimum donation of $100,000. Talk about a company with a good heart (and good snackin’).

[look at all these tasty flavors!]

The Bloggers for Boobs event was absolutely wonderful, and quite a few people showed up despite the miserable snowy/rainy weather. I was able to connect with other bloggers, chit chat with the event hosts, enjoy a specially crafted cocktail (with Chocolate vodka and raspberry) and snack on pretzel crisps munchies. I  ate far too much cheese throughout the evening as well (oops).

[how pretty?]

In addition to a silent auction with prizes like a 10 pass pack to Exhale Spa, we were prompted to enter a recipe contest. We were to create the ultimate pretzel crisp with various toppings, from nutella and whipped cream to goat cheese and gourmet mustards.

[Hmmm…sweet or savory?]

I decided to go with a savory crisp, topping a garlic pretzel crisp with goat cheese, roasted red peppers, basil and bacon bits. With red, white and green colors, I dubbed it the “Christmas Crisp.”

On our way out, we were each given a Pretzel Crisps bag filled with coupons, snacks, stickers, Pretzel Crisps and other goodies. Good end to a good night.

The next day, I was surprised to find out that I won the contest! I never win contests, so I was absolutely ecstatic. For my prize, I get to write a special blog post on anything I’d like that will be featured on Pretzel Crisps website. I’ll let you know when the post goes live!

Happy Friday chickies! Have a fabulous weekend.

XoXo,
