Ah…, Healthy Chow has a big appetite and a big heart and she hearts many things…here are some of her favorites (btw, Healthy Chow likes to refer to herself in the third person sometimes ).

• Trader Joe’s
• frozen peas (yep, straight out of the bag!  It’s a healthy, quick and yummy snack)
• canned pumpkin (oh Libby, Libby, Libby…what would I do without your delicioso orange fiber in a can?)
• Better n’ Peanut Butter (a whole jar can disappear faster than you can say, “that ain’t Skippy!”)
• my salad spinner (how else are you gonna get crispy kale chips?)
• Laughing Cow Light Swiss cheese wedges (just spread it and forget it!)
• egg whites (out of the carton, preferably. Who doesn’t love a shortcut?)
• Goya Adobo seasoning (sprinkled generously on the aforementioned)
• George Forman Grill (what’s a city living gal supposed to do without an outdoor grill?)
• potato chips (period!)
• sushi (especially unagi)
• individually bagged nuts from Trader Joe’s (how else will you know when to stop eating?)
• yoga
• oatmeal (sweet or savory, it’s like a warm hug for my belly)
• french fries (curly, crinkle cut, steak, shoestring and even on top of a bed of mussels)
• pasta (whole wheat or white – noodles rock!)
• fresh fruit (uh,  they call it Mother Nature’s candy for a reason)
• cilantro (to some it can taste like soap, to me it’s just fresh!)

Finally, last but not least…

• Patrick (my husband, my friend, my rock and my soul – I love you!)

I really do heart carbs!
