  7. Hi,

    I found your blog thru another chocolate lover's blog. I have a sweet tooth and love desserts and chocolate. You have a cute blog and I love all the colors. I'm all about bright colors.

    "What the fluff?" makes me think of that gum commercial when they said, I think this is how it goes "What the french toast?", both funny.

  11. I love that you are as obsessed with Chick-fil-a as much as I once was. It was my favorite place to eat and I always secretly wanted to work there. Now I don't eat meat, but I've seriously considering having their nuggets as my first non-veg meal if I ever go back. Have you had the special sauce - LOVE!

    PS - Your rugelach recipe looks fab. I'm glad I found your blog!

  14. I love your blog already! And seriously, correct me on my grammar! I like a little constructive criticism when it's warranted. :)

    By the way, I'm so jealous that you live in SC. We go to Hilton Head Island in the summers and it's like heaven on earth!

  20. I have no idea how I found your blog...I think it is like Facebook..I was just clicking away for hours and found you :) I am so glad I did because I just love reading all of your wonderful ideas and get jealous wishing I was a college student again. I have a blog http://shreddedinsix.blogspot.com/ that I just started this year. I have been looking at your site for ways to improve mine :) I have a ?...How do you get the word out about your blog? At first I started doing this just as an "online journal" for myself. Then, I started spending more and more time on it and started taking more pride in the quality of my work. Now, I want to share with the world, but don't know where to start...ideas? Oh, I also can't see a place to comment on specific posts which is why I wrote here...Keep up your good work, I enjoy reading it while I should be working ;)

  22. Hey Christina!
    I tried asking you this on formspring (?) but the technology was too much for me and I don't think it went through.
    Either way, I love your blog! I am moving to Charleston soon and am looking to join a gym...can you point me in the right direction? I definitely want somewhere clean (esp the showers!) not tooo crowded, and a non creeper environment...because even though I am all for babe watching, it's not a two way street haha.
    I'll be living downtown but am willing to drive a few miles for the right place- I am dedicated to my gymlationship :)
    Thanks!

  26. Ew, I hate red onions too. Once I was watching this show on MTV...where the parents set their kids up on dates. Anywho, the son's current girlfriend ate red onions like apples...oh my gosh, made me gag. They are just too strong for my liking.

  29. Hey girl! I just posted a blog about what I should do in charleston and nearly everyone said "you have to go read hungry meets healthy!" so here I am! I am going to browse your posts, but really, if you had any tips or things my hubs and I HAVE TO SEE then please let me know! We are living in myrtle beach for a few months and will probably be making a few trips that way!

  32. Love this! So glad I found your blog! I have my sights set on Charleston as a future move, you made it look all that more appetizing (pun intended)!

    And I saw your favorite foods are Greek, Mediterranean, etc. Have you eaten Turkish cuisine? I lived in Istanbul last year with my Turkish husband, and it is TO DIE FOR. :)

    Happy to meet you!

  34. I didn't know where on earth I should comment because you have so many commenters and so many followers all over the place! AHH!! Overwhelmed-city right here! ;)

    I'm moving to Charleston in June and couldn't be ANY more excited- I love hearing how much people like you, who have lived there for years, still love the place!!

    If you ever have blogger meet-ups or just want a new chick to show around/eat healthy stuff with/go to chik-fil-a with, I'm SO down! I don't know too many people but I can't wait to get out and about!

  35. We are opening a locally sourced cafe in charleston late 2012. We would love it if you would check out our project and hopefully share it with as many people as possible. Our website is www.firedurth.com and we are also doing a kickstarter campaign which you can find the link to on our website. Thank you and we look forward to being part of the charleston foodie community!
