It’s strange to admit, but we all like to be regular.
I mean that in the most TMI way possible.
Fiber. Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Fiber helps you poop. It’s strange to admit to in public, but being regular is nothing but good. These Spiced Protein Fiber Bars are loaded with fiber, which helps you stay regular, which is good. #strangebutgood

I love a super bowl.
I eat one every night.
I’m told there’s a big TV commercial football game this weekend. Being from the South, I couldn’t care less about pro football. College is where it’s at! However, I do love a good party and the food that come with it. I also love to make people stare.
In honor of the grand tradition of the Super Bowl, I’m dedicating this week’s #strangebutgood post to strange but super snacks – some from me, some from some awesome bloggers!
…
I can’t travel like a normal person.
At least I wear shoes…
Yes, I sent this to Passenger Shaming on Instagram.
The creepiest part was that when I said something to the flight attendant she said it happens all the time. Apparently parents even let their kids go to the bathroom barefoot! I have a friend that is a flight attendant and SHE said it happens on every flight. WTF?! End rant.
I’m on the other side of the country this week with Vegas (though not IN Vegas). Being 9 weeks out from my competition, I had to supplement my travel a bit. I brought chicken, turkey burgers, veggies, roasted sweet potatoes, and frozen Greek yogurt (a must – it doubles as an ice pack) with me. Okay, I supplemented my travel a lot.…
I like to get toasted.
In the French way ’cause I’m classy.
French toast is becoming an unintentional theme for #strangebutgood. Last week it was Healthy French Toast. 2 weeks ago it was totally unhealthy (but delicious) Eggnog Baked French Toast. Now it’s the thug life.
This is the laziest, most bass ackwards way possible to make french toast. Toast the bread while beating egg whites with cinnamon and stevia. Pour egg mixture over the top.

I love Vegas in sickness and in health.
Just didn’t think we’d have to prove it so soon.
Today’s strange but good is a quickie because we’ve both been hit by the plague. I don’t know if it’s the flu or the worst cold ever, but we are miserable.
Yesterday my eye swelled up and started oozing a lovely substance. I’ll spare you that picture and instead share the scene on the nightstand:
In sickness and in health…

Strange can be simple.
Simple is strange in my kitchen!
This recipe consists of simply two things: bread and eggnog. It’s what we had for breakfast brunch lunch linner (we like to sleep) on Christmas morning. And a giant side of champagne because all the rum Mom dumps in her eggnog would have cooked out. 😉
We did get a little complex with the homemade eggnog and using chocolate chip brioche. I neglected a picture, but I also made fresh whipped cream with coconut rum to top. You don’t have to get that fancy… but it didn’t suck.
Also served was scrambled eggs with spinach and onion for protein and greens. And bacon. Because bacon.
Mom likes to set a fancy table. This one had a gorgeous centerpiece, a charcuterie, ambrosia, and a magnum bottle of sparkling from Schramsberg.
It was so good we didn’t worry about opening presents until almost 2!
It’s a little past the holidays, but why not keep celebrating and try this out? It’s strange… but good! Besides, the eggnog is on sale at Whole Foods! 😉
Dip cubes of bread in the eggnog. Place slices evenly in a greased pyrex dish. Pour any remaining mixture over the slices.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat oven to 400. Bake for 20-25 minutes (until poofed up and golden brown on top).
Place on rack to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
Makes 8-10 servings.

That magnum bottle was goooooone, plus 2 more standard sized ones. There were 7 of us! 5 of the 7 were drinking…
Do you like eggnog? I never have… but I love it baked!
How was New Years Eve? I have much to share! Later…
Almost.
Vegas and I escaped to Lake Tahoe for NYE and some other shenanigans, so today’s WIAW post is a look back on the top posts of 2014.
Thank you to everyone for helping make 2014 one of the best yet. I’ve loved making new friends, learning a lot, and eating a TON of (strange but) good food.
Without further adieu, here are the top 10 posts you thought were good (and likely a little strange) in 2014.
Here are three meals that I threw together quickly when what I had on hand. They look fancy-ish, but they were incredibly easy (and fun) to make: Stuffed French Toast Egg Wrap, Squachos (nachos… but with squash), and a Pressed Bison Wrap….
We’ve made it through the family thing.
Not that it’s so bad… but you know…
Now it’s time to gear up for the last blow out of 2014 – New Year’s Eve! If your friend are anything like mine, the night can get a little strange. In a good way.
I encourage you to being the night with some strange but good food. 7 foods, in fact. For lucky 7s… and because THE 7!!!

Pro tip: Don’t drink on an empty stomach!
What are your NYE plans?
Do you eat the traditional greens and black-eyed peas on New Years?
