Happy Monday, friends!
And yes, Monday can be happy. Today, we’re going to ignore the fact that it’s cold, cloudy, and we have to go back to work, and focus on some marvelous things instead. Sound good? I thought so too 
. – . – . – .
Marvelous… is the fact that I can taste my food again…
Mmmm. Tasty. My nose was only stuffed badly enough to make me lose my sense of taste for about 1.5 days, but that was 1.5 days too long for me. You would think that not being able to taste my food would make me less willing to eat it, but I actually found the opposite to be true – I ended up eating more because nothing satisfied me and I kept picking away at things hoping to be able to detect the slightest taste. Thankfully that nonsense is over with because…
Marvelous… were the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that I baked this weekend…
It was -20°C (-4ºF) here on Sunday, and I wasn’t all that willing to go outside and have my nose fall off so shortly after regaining my taste, so I decided to hole up at home and get some baking done. I used this recipe because I was craving something a little healthier after the crazy sugar comas I got around Christmas, but I increased the butter to ¼ cup and used a mixture of semi sweet and milk chocolate chips. And speaking of which…
Marvelous… are milk chocolate chips in baking…
I’ve always used semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks when I baked cookies, but I couldn’t help grab a baggie of the milk chocolate ones when I saw them in the store and holy.wow are they good. I know that most people in the healthy living community tend to gravitate towards dark chocolate, but you can’t deny the deliciousness that is melt-in-your-mouth milk chocolate. Still…
Marvelous… is chocolate in general…
Milk, dark, white… doesn’t matter. I’ve been craving chocolate like crazy lately, and I have no idea why. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m a woman. Or maybe it’s simply an issue of chocolate just being so darn delicious. Whatever the case, I haven’t been able to get enough (and believe me, I’ve tried).
Marvelous… is a weekend spent completely unplugged…
Total coffee shop visits: 5
Total movies watched: 4 (Dumb & Dumber, French Kiss, The Devil Wears Prada, The Illusionist)
Total treadmill workouts: 6 (over 3 days, in spurts of 20-30 minutes)
Total boardgames played: 1 epically long one
I barely spent any time on the computer the Internet this weekend (I played some WoW), and it felt so good to unplug. Unfortunately, coming back after a few days of being away is always a little overwhelming, which is why…
Marvelous… is this button right here…
Sometimes, certain measures have to be taken to to keep one’s sanity in tact. Pushing that button is one of my measures. I hope I didn’t miss anything important, but I’ll be catching up with you guys again shortly :) And speaking of certain measures…
Marvelous… is using cookies to fuel a workout…
Red Bull Cookies give you wings. No joke. But on a healthier note…
Marvelous… is fruit…
… but that’s a whole other post in itself – tomorrow’s, actually. For now, I hope your week is off to a great start!
. – . – . – .
Do you like milk chocolate or dark chocolate? Be honest!
What’s your favorite thing to eat before a workout? Don’t tell me you’ve never gone the cookie route!
Tell me one thing you did this weekend!

I really do love dark chocolate! But I never turn down good quality milk chocolate
When I was younger I was crazy about white chocolate, actually.. And I think I ate enough of the stuff to turn me off it for a lifetime 
I find it just too sickly sweet
Picky Nicky recently posted..Birthdays and Cookies
White chocolate is definitely my least favorite of the three, but I’m still a pretty big fan of the Hershey’s Cookies ‘n Cream bar. Then again, you can never go wrong with throwing cookie chunks in something
im usually a dark chocolate girl myself. but lately i have had this weird craving for milk chocolate. something about that super sweet goodness that i just can’t get enough of. glad your taste buds are back in action!
Sara @my less serious life recently posted..weekend review: kitchen madness
Ahhh now this is a nice post to see on a Monday – cookies and chocolate, two of my fave things!
My tastes have changed over time from milk chocolate when I was a kid, to dark when I got older and now I am a lover of raw chocolate which is about as pure a chocolate as you can get I guess! Never been a fan of white though, despite my very sweet tooth that was always a bit much for me! Your cookies look sooo good..I totally need to do some therapeutic baking soon to get me away from uni work!
Nicky recently posted..My Week According to my Phone
Be careful with the raw chocolate, hun! There’s a lot of evidence out there showing the negative effects of eating cacao in it’s raw form – especially when it comes to the nervous, adrenal, and digestive systems. I used to be really into raw foods, but chocolate was something I always shied away from because there are way too many toxins and chemicals in the raw form.
Well, you know, I live in chocolate paradise – Switzerland. You really can not imagine how many oh-so-delicious-and-aaaaahmazing versions of this exclusive chocolate we have here (at least one thing since we miss out on all the rest you guys have over there
). Hm, I love all of them. It really depends on my mood, it’s a bit like clothes or shoes. Some days heels, some days sneakers. Some days white, some days dark. As long as there is a piece every day 
Glad that your nose is back on taste!! Enjoy it! One thing I did this weekend: sleep. Beautiful.
Lucie@FitSwissChick recently posted..Marvelous in my Monday!!
I love both milk and dark and LOVE to mix both types of chips into my baked goods
Yay for feeling better!! Oh and using cookies as my pre and post run fuel is my favorite thing to do 
And one thing I did…watched the Pens cream both the Flyers and the Rangers (YAY!!!) and had a date with my daddy 
Caitlin recently posted..A Very Special Marvelous Monday
Honestly? I like chocolate. Period. I try to gravitate towards dark because I know it’s better for me, but I can’t say no to milk chocolate either. I like to keep a mix of both in my household :-p And I can’t forget about white chocolate – that stuff makes me happy too!
This weekend, I went out for dinner, went shopping, did homework, and spent the rest of it being lazy. It was pretty awesome.
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles recently posted..Clothes to Sweat In.
I am so with you about milk chocolate! As much as I love dark chocolate, there’s something about milk chocolate that cannot be beat…even better if it’s with nuts
! Sounds like you had a great weekend, Amanda. Lord knows I am a technology fiend but a few days away from it all always makes me feel so mentally recharged! One thing great from my weekend: attending a friend’s hen night on Saturday. Although it’s crazy to think that we’re already at the age where marriage is in the picture- I don’t remember becoming a grown up!
Khushboo recently posted..Mumbai Marathon Mode
I can’t help but laugh whenever I hear those parties being called hens – we call them bachelorette parties over here, and hens makes me think of farms
But I know what you mean about it being cray that we’re at that age… I remember when my friends all started getting married, having kids, and buying houses. It seems like just yesterday when we were all graduating high school together!
Um MILK CHOCOLATE hands down! This weekend I went to a wedding and danced my face off with my one year old son
It was a blast! Have a great week Amanda!

I’m looking at all these delicious things and well… I’m glad I’m before dinner! I’m getting hungry.
Honestly – I don’t eat chocolate and I’m fine with that. I only sometimes drink hot chocolate in Starbucks or such a cafe but that’s all and I don’t eventreat it as “eating chocolate”. I used to eat sweet when I was young but then everything changed, including my eating habits.
Well, I only watched a few episodes of The Lying Game and… Ugh. I just wanted to realx.
whiness recently posted..190. Monday / quinoa i manna w jednej miseczce!
I like blocks of dark chocolate, but prefer milk chocolate chips .. is that weird?
My pre-workout food isn’t nearly as interesting as the belgian waffles that I’m LOVING post workout. Maple syurp is AMAZING.
Also, might I say that I love that you’re a geek. However, I missed you this weekend, Missy. Hope when you’re ready to reconnect with the real world that a text comes my way. It’s going to be -30 to -35 (with the wind) here all week. I’m going to channel my inner Spoons and make the most of the indoors and keep my nose regular coloured and hopefully still attached to my face.
Chelsie S recently posted..Jan 19th & 20th
Glad to hear you are feeling better!! And I love the amount of chocolate in this post. I made some dark chocolate dipped apricots this weekend and they were BOMB. I seriously have been eating them nonstop.
And I’ve never seen dumb and dumbber!

Never?! Omigosh but it’s a classic one! I think I’ve watched it so many times that I can basically quote the whole thing.
Wow, everything looks SO yummy, especially that fresh fruit!
jan recently posted..Running Buddy
I LOVE dark chocolate, but sometimes you just have to have milk chocolate! Before a workout (which is usually just a long walk or bike ride to be honest) I’ll usually have some fruit, like an orange or banana, an shave something a bit more substantial when I get back (:
This weekend I said goodbye to a lot of my family and friends in the UK, as I’m going back to Australia on Thursday! Well, if the snow somehow disappears…

Eep! Sending good weather vibes your way! And wishing you a safe flight
Dark Chocolate all the way! Milk chocolate just doesn’t do it for me anymore.
Mmmm oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – probably my favorite!
I watched Devil wears Prada too
I also ate pizza, made birthday treats for hubby and cursed the weather!

Anne@LoveMintChocolateChip recently posted..mimm: {actually back now…}
I’m a huge fan of 50% of your MIMM things revolving around chocolate, yes please! I like milk in cookies but prefer dark when I eat it solo. And weekend workout fuel seems to vary for me too, sometimes it’s coffee & sometimes it’s a cookie! Marvelous was spending time with fam & friends this weekend. Happy Monday!
Katie @ KatieEnPursuit recently posted..Drowning in Wine Sweat
That’s so cold!! Omg definitely cookie baking weather lol anything to turn the oven on :p they look great too! I’m actually not such a huge chocolate fan, I used to be obsessed but I think I over did it haha but when I do eat the occasional I think I do prefer dark… if it’s in M&M form or hershey kiss, it’s gotta be milk :p
Rachel recently posted..MIMM#25: The Second Date
Cookies are the best workout fuel
I felt so bad for you when you couldn’t taste your delicious food, and then I woke up this morning with a sore throat. Nooo….. please pray for me to not get sick! If I can’t taste my birthday cake I will be so sad…
Devon @ Health in Equilibrium recently posted..MIMM: A Marvelous Year
!!! Nooo! Definitely sending some healing vibes your way. Rest, vitamin C, chicken noodle soup, and gargling with salt water should have you back to good in no time
You so, so, SO deserved some serious unplugging.
I hope that your food tastes as better as ever. That is one beautiful celebratory greek yogurt bowl!

1.) Dark Chocolate
2.) Protein bar (chocolate flavored, of course!
)
3.) Got my hair cut and re-dyed.
Your weekend sounds like it was faaaaantastic! I’m I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better and can taste again! Such an important thing these days
I actually do prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate. I’m not sure if it’s because I like things more bitter? Well not bitter, but stronger? Like, I love really strong coffee. The darker the roast the more I love it. But of course I’m never one to turn down chocolate. Or a cookie. So if you could just send them down south, that would be lovely. I need some wings

Trade you some cookies for some better weather?
deal.
now, how do i go about changing the weather…
kris recently posted..a short visit to california
Yay for you feeling better again and being able to taste the marvelousness that is food! I already told you I’m the same when not being able to taste: Super ravenous and mad because I want to feel satisfied by food.
Can I pleeeease come over to play board games? It’s something I really miss but even when I’m at my parents’ we won’t do it because my mum claims she disliked playing them. Which one’s your favourite? Monopoly is a good one for sure – except when going to jail
.
Lindt Lindor chocolate is one of the reasons I’m not fully vegan. While dark chocolate’s my favourite most days I sometimes just need (!) that goodness. No denying here. And yes, I’ve definitely had chocolate as pre- (and post-
) workout fuel.
Miss Polkadot recently posted..In need of …
Of course you can come over to play board games! I’ve started building up my collection for the sole purpose of entertaining guests
As for favorite… that’s kind of a toughie. I love a good game of Monopoly, but I’m going to have to go with Settlers of Catan on that one.
I like to pride myself on the fact that I eat a lot of sweets. I know this community is supposed to be super healthy, but I LOVE sweets and see nothing wrong with indulging, so long as I have earned them by being productive and active. With that said I REALLY TRULY do prefer dark chocolate. Hands down. Which is awesome now that I am vegan because I don’t eat milk chocolate anymore, but I swear it’s like night and day for me. I am glad you liked them though and there is NOTHING wrong with that! I baked cookies this weekend too, I ate one like.10 minutes ago for breakfast. HA!
Haha I actually have eaten sweets/cookies before a workout in the past, but about 1 hour before at least…or else I’d die from indigestion.
And to be honest, unless the milk chocolate is from Argentina or some European country and it’s truuuuuuuly truly high quality, velvety texture, I don’t like milk chocolate! xP It’s too sweet for me–but dark chocolate always ends up being more satisfying and just sweet enough, and I enjoy that strong cocoa taste. I’m all about the boldness in my food. I think I get that from my dad b/c he’s always loved the dark stuff.
Ellie@Fit for the Soul recently posted..Review of Ballet Body: Upper Body Ultra Sleek DVD
Chocolate is most definitely VERY marvelous! I never used to like dark chocolate and would always stick with milk chocolate, but once I became a vegetarian and adapted healthier eating habits this past year my taste buds have totally changed and I love dark chocolate. It doesn’t hurt that it is “healthier” and I feel less guilty eating it!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl recently posted..What a Vegetarian Eats At…Panera Bread
Looks like the perfect relaxing weekend to me. I love milk chocolate. For a long time I tried to convince myself I liked dark better but no matter what I choose milk!
Danielle @ Clean Food Creative Fitness recently posted..Marvelous in My Monday!
I definitely am a dark chocolate person. I won’t even touch milk chocolate (unless emergency) because I think it’s wayyy too sweet. I’m so glad they make everything with dark chocolate now, too. (Reeses cups MMM) I’m even one who will enjoy a 90% cocoa bar ><, I just love the cocoa taste!
I think I'm making those chocolate chip cookies, btw. I like the recipe and they look really good!
I used to use jelly bellys as post-workout fuel or a lindt truffle
No shame.
Lauren recently posted..MIMM
Definitely give the cookies a try! You can tell they’re on the healthier side, but sometimes that’s exactly what hits the spot – like little baked oatmeal clusters
I only like really dark chocolate and even then, I’m not a huge chocolate lover. I mean I like it, but I’m more of a vanilla lover. That’s kind of weird I guess. Everyone seems to love chocolate but just not me. Ha ha. I do like chocolate cookies, or actually chocolate chip muffins! Okay, so off topic. Your weekend sounds like fun:) I still have to e-mail you. I’m super slow haha. This weekend I kept it super low key. Nothing too exciting!
Lisa recently posted..Delights + Good Stuff

I agree on milk chocolate being delicious! I still love dark chocolate (or any chocolate for that matter…) but sometimes it’s nice to switch it up!
Molly@This Life Is Sparkling recently posted..Marvelous Monday
Ummmm chocolate is chocolate no matter what…white, dark, milk….I’m not picky!
Andrea @Pencils and Pancakes recently posted..Grilled Banana and Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast
As I sit here with a serious stomach ache + nausea I can attest to the fact that there unfortunately is such a thing as too much chocolate :/ Ouch ouch ouch. I’m sure I’ll feel better after some tea and a nap though
Oh and I’m a 100% dark (like 90% dark) chocolate girl all the way! It’s been pretty cold around these parts as well but damn…-20?!? That’s intense. I wouldn’t leave my house in those conditions either! Glad to hear you’re finally feeling better!
Irina @ Chocolatea Time recently posted..Frames From The Weekend 1/18/2013 – 1/20/2013
Too much chocolate?! Say it ain’t so! Hope you feel better soon, hun! <3
Yay for baking on a cold, dreary weekend! Is there seriously anything better? I don’t think so. I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better! I’ve been better too for several days now, but I still have a coughing fit after a workout. I’m sure that’ll stop eventually. I spent this weekend completely unplugged too, didn’t even bring my computer home with me. It was fantastic!
Meghan @ After the Ivy League recently posted..Ski Weekend in Maine
Gahhhh all your food pictures are killing me! Those cookies look so awesome!
Okay, I’m going to answer this question very complexly.. I like dark chocolate in my coffee drinks and in trail mix, dark hershey’s kisses, dark PB cups..
But I like milk chocolate in chocolate chip cookies. So. much. better. It just compliments the cookie’s buttery taste perfectly.
And white chocolate.. meh. It’s okay with peanut butter or mixed with milk/dark chocolate. But alone, I’m not a huge fan.
This question obviously deserved such a long answer, because well, it’s chocolate haha.
Oh, and I’m the same way when I’m sick, too. Never satisfied. Bleh! Have a great week! This is a great post, girl!

Your cookies do look quite marvelous! I admit, I’m a milk chocolate lover at heart. I buy the dark because it’s “healthier”. LOL Milk chocolate tastes MUCH better though, IMO. It’s freezing cold here too… only about 1 degree F today. It’s horrid & I felt like my nose was going to fall off my face today. Fun stuff. Happy Monday!!
Karey @ Nutty About Health recently posted..MIMM: How Sweet It Is
Hi Amanda,
A delurker and person who enjoys your blog here.
Its terribly viciously cold where I live now and the wind tips the scales on the cold. Not that I work out anyway. I wish.
Jealous of your treadmill
Chocolate is hard for me to talk about. I eat way too much of it way late at night. I have a big problem with night time eating that is borderline out of control. Anyway, I really like your blog and wonder if you’ve any suggestions for a beginner blogger’s phone choice? I want something really NOT expensive but something that can be found easily (walmart, ha). But I still want to have decent pictures. Thanks. (I don’t have iphone and stuff so that’s not option).
A phone choice? Sorry girl, but phones are definitely not my area of expertise. I’ve been using an iPhone forever so that’s pretty much all I know
I definitely loved your “mark all as read” comment… I agree on that one! When I first came back to blogging after the long break, it was up in the 1000s! Yikes, all as read was immediately pressed
I do enjoy dark chocolate especially with almonds (aka chocolate covered almonds) but let’s be honest here, MILK chocolate is the way to go! I know it’s less cocoa, more sugar, blah blah… but mmm so much more sweet
Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted..Factual Friday
Dark chocolate all the way! My family is full of die-hard milk chocolate fans, so I am the odd one out. I have even been known to munch on unsweetened chocolate at times. Crazy? Maybe, but I honestly love it!
I like eating post-workout more, since I have a sensitive stomach, but pre-workout, I’d probably go with a smoothie or something that goes down relatively easily and that provides some good, quick carbs. On that thought… maybe cookies would be a good idea too!? Hahah.
One thing I did this weekend was celebrate my 18th birthday! Ack. Such a milestone. I can’t believe I’m considered a legal “adult” now. It’s a little scary, but very exciting at the same time. It was a great weekend.
!! Well Happy [belated] Birthday, Katie! Glad to hear it was a good one
And being an adult only sounds scary – it’s really not that bad once you get used to it 
I loveee me some dark chocolate! Milk chocolate is good, but I prefer the more bitter taste with the dark. I read your comment above about eating raw cacao, I would love to hear more about that if you have time to maybe fit it into a post sometime!
I’ll have to do a little bit more research first, but it’s definitely something I can address
That’d be great! Thanks!
I like both kinds of chocolate, honestly. Yum (speaking of yum… what was it you were eating in that first picture. It looks amazing!)
I like to eat a frozen waffle with a little butter or peanut butter.
This weekend I ran 18 miles (training for my first marathon) and it is the furthest I’ve gone. Love it!
Can’t wait to read more of your blog!
The first picture is my typical breakfast. It’s just a bowl of plain Greek yogurt mixed with a banana and some blueberries, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest, Puffins, and roasted almond butter. And congrats on your 18 miles! That’s really, really impressive!
Hahaha I love that you increased the butter in a healthy cookie recipe. LOVE IT. But your weekend seriously sounds awesome. Any weekend involving cookies, chocolate, movies (love The Devil Wears Prada!), and unplugging sounds good to me.
I like both milk and dark chocolate. And white chocolate! All chocolate is good in my books.
One thing I did this weekend was go out for my friend’s birthday… which involved standing in line in the cold for 30 minutes. I was SO not impressed haha. But it was fun once we got in the bar!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin recently posted..Weekend eats
Well 2 Tbsp of butter sounded a little ridiculous! I wanted them to be healthy, but not that healthy
mmmmmm chocolate. I do have to say I’ve always gravitated toward dark (just like my momma), but sometimes you just gotta have milk! White chocolate grosses me out for some reason and I have no idea why
. I’ve never seen milk chocolate chips before though, that’d be baller!! I feel like chocolate tastes better when it’s baked into things….maybe I’m just crazy. Anyway. LOVE the sound of your weekend! The Illusionist was SUCH a good movie, and nothin’ beats board games. I really wish I had more friends out here so they could come over and play board games with my cripple self lol! And five coffee shop visits in a weekend? Yeah that sounds like juuuuuust enough to me 
Happy monday!
I literally got up to grab a some chocolate after reading this post!
I like all kinds, but mostly dark(>70%)… don’t forget about white!
Chocolate and coffee heal my soul
Laura recently posted..What do you want to be?
Sometimes I eat during a workout. Usually a homemade protein bar or shake. Is that weird or counteractive? Oh well!
I really enjoy dark chocolate, but I have to admit.. Milk chocolate will always hold the key to my heart over any type of chocolate. There is just something about the way it melts in your mouth. Oh gosh, now I want some. Thanks a lot, Ha Ha

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted..Sweet Potato Baked Oatmeal
I honestly prefer dark chocolate–I was that weird little kid who liked the Hershey’s special dark bars and even some exotic super dark bars that my dad bought one time. Now I love dark chocolate with things added to it, like mint or orange peel or almonds and sea salt.
I’m bad when it comes to workout meals because I just eat whatever pre and post workout. It doesn’t really seem to affect me too much, as long as I stick to smaller size meals, so I’m glad that I don’t have to plan things out too much.
Ashley @ AlmostVegGirlie recently posted..Currently…
Love this post! I am a big fan of dark chocolate. I even love 99% dark choc for a real chocolaty hit.
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes recently posted..Become a blog sponsor in February
Agreed, marvelous most definitely is chocolate in general. I truly am a dark chocolate fan though, I’ve always been that way. Ever since I can remember I have eaten baking chocolate straight up, and still do.
Gina @ Health, Love, and Chocolate recently posted..MarketBar SF and Other Highlights
Hehe. As a kid, I remember eating baking chocolate squares when we ran out of everything else and I got desperate, but milk chocolate was always my first choice.
Eee! I spy a few squares of Ghiradelli Sea Salt Soiree! Girl, chocolate infatuation (err, addiction?
) is something I deal with on a daily basis, so I completely understand where you’re coming from. The cravings never go away, so I’ve found the best way to deal is by giving in. I eat chocolate after nearly every meal. This works well because I’m content with one or two pieces at a time, knowing that more will be enjoyed a few hours later. As for the milk vs. dark debate: BOTH! I always have a bar of each on hand, and alternate between the two. Have you ever tried adding dark chips and milk chips to your cookie dough? It wasn’t until I read this tip on The Food Network, and gave it a go myself, that I realized how much I’d been missing out. Each bite delivers maximum chocolatey-ness! 
(And yes, I’ve definitely gone the pre-workout cookie route…multiple times).
It sounds like your weekend really was marvelous! I completely unplugged as well, and it felt SO good. xoxo <3
