Ahh welcome to another Feed me Friday Post. You see, I had full intentions of doing a “Benefits of Holiday Spices” post, but my brain hurts, I’m a bit under the weather, and I just want to blab today. Perfectly acceptable, yes?
So What’s a Feed me Friday? Well, it means I leave you with more food for thought than actual food. Maybe it’s encouragement, laughter, love, etc. Today I wanted to feed you with love and laughter.
Here’s the thing, I am constantly reminded of my blends (blogger + friends). This usually happens just by seeing or eating certain foods, drinks, treats, etc. It always makes me smile.
When I made Peas for lunch the other day, I thought of Mama Pea and SheRocksFitness (Katie). Katie and I have a slight pea obsession, especially with eggs.
When I see bluebell ice cream on sale at the store, I think of Lindsay. I want to buy it for her so bad. I know she would love this Texas Brand goodness!
Lindsay, this is how good it is. No spoon required!
When I pour a glass of wine at night, I immediately think of well, tons of friends. Dorry, Jess, Jolene, Kalli, Paige, Cait, Lisa, Alyssa, Katie, Sarah, Lou, and Heather to name a few. Cheers ladies!
When I eat and and all eggs, I think of Katie, Meg, Brittany and Heather P.
When I eat vegemite, I think of Heather B., Heather M, Kristina, and Christin.
When I drink Kombucha, I think of almost everyone! LOL. But this girl and I go way back with Kombucha love.
When I eat sunbutter and cottage cheese together, I think of JG. Such goodness!
When mix in some broccoli slaw with a recipe and add chili pepper on top, I think of the one and only Stuft mama!
When I eat asparagus, and my pee smells funny, I think of Laura! Haha, sorry Laura, had to say that.
When I use Green Chili in my recipes, I think of this New Mexico Native. And if i add in any type of sausage to that dish, i think of the sausage queen Katie.
When I make socca or bake with coconut flour, I think of Sarena and the twins. Both make amazing recipes with these!
When eat Larabars, LoveGrown granola, Chobani, and Attune Foods I think of a TON OF WONDERFUL friends. These are are all people who are part of these companies great too!
Oh and when i dream of more Nutty Butter I think of Sarah and Calee (the fantastic logo designer of Nutty Butter and Healthy Bites!).
When I eat a Kind Bar, I think of Oatmeal Lauren. Starbucks coffee always reminds me of of Kelly and Lisa.
And finally, when I embrace the weirdness of a peanut butter and pickle sandwich, I think of Missy and Emz. Pickle love for Christina as well. Love it!
Phew! I know there are a ton more out there! I can still think of at least 10 more but that would make this post uber long. These are just a few. Just say a name and I could match a food to go along with them. Fun, eh?
What food and friend/blend did you think of today?
Leave me a food/friend combo that you know of in the comments section.
Happy Feed me Friday!
Cheers,
LC
p.s.
I’ve been able to text with Katie who lives in New Jersey. She still has no power and says it’s been a mess there! Her attitude is amazing though. So grateful! Puts a lot of things in perspective for us all today, yes? Please pray for those affected by Sandy. Prayer does amazing things, trust me!

Alexandra recently posted..Just. Do. It.

LCCotter recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends
I think of YOU every day! How could I not think of a beautiful friend like you!
We need wine together one day, I see that in the future
This post idea is so cute! I love it!
Thank you for always showing love and support towards me! Means the world! <3
katie recently posted..Diva Spill Friday
oh me too friend! i’m longing for that day we can hug and drink wine. hehe
This was so fun to read! Love it
Kierston recently posted..1 Day Out: The Last Competition Of The Season!
i think of coffee with you!
Happy to be in the same company as so many of these LOVELY bloggers…and if Calee is my partner in crime, so much the better.
How do you feel about being equated with balls?
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen recently posted..Friday Flashback: Vegan With Benefits
i’m okay with it. I mean my balls are good.
Awww, so much link love! This post made me happy. Since I “know” so many of these girls as well, it was cheerful to see all their names and their loves/habits listed out like that.
Happy Friday!
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers recently posted..You Can’t Buy Pretty Shoes

hehe
LCCotter recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends

LCCotter recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends
So often we forgot how our connection with food is so deeply related to people and relationships. Isn’t it funny?
Heidi @BananaBuzzbomb recently posted..Caution: Deep Posts Ahead
so funny! and is it funny that i am eating a banana right now and you just commented. It’s fait!
i mean fate!
When I think of rolled balls of goodness I think of none other than YOU my friend!! I must meet you some day…and as long as there is wine… I’ll be there HAHA
! And I totally agree with many prayers for those affected by Sandy. Prayer is always the answer and it heals all 
! Much <3!!
yes, a meet up is a must!
LCCotter recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends
Isn’t it funny how food reminds us of our blogging friends? I will definitely be tying Laura to asparagus from now on, and I think of Stuft mama when I use crushed red pepper, and you every time I make a no-bake cookie ball.
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast recently posted..October Recap and Pumpkin Tofu Pie
i don’t think laura can escape the asparagus now. hehe. No bake cookie balls make me happy! <3
LCCotter recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends

Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted... thinking out loud #4 .

I love this, so creative!!! Thanks for sharing, I’ve got lots of new blogs to check out
When I eat my first persimmon or drizzle of tahini I’ll think of you!
Life’s a Bowl recently posted..Sweating Pink // Favorite Finds Friday 11.2.12
oh that makes me so happy! we should do that together. I’ll bring you some. hehe
I love this ‘game!’ And ALWAYS think of you when I drink wine and ALWAYS when I eat kale, since I do believe you persuaded me to eat it, and I can’t believe it took me so long! And ALWAYS with healthy bites of course!
jobo recently posted..Resetting and rejuvinating.
oh hale to kale! the bond. LOL! love it. and so glad we connect over it. hehe
How creative!!! I always struggle with ways to link up with my blends (love that name) and this is such a cool way to do it. But I have to ask…how do you remember all this!? You must have an incredible memory. Love it.
Happy Weekend!
oh and I am also a native New Mexican!! SO cool to hear of another one. Not many out there in blogger land.
Cinnamon @ eatpraytri recently posted..NaBloPoMo

lindsay recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends
I am so glad I was a part of your lunch, at least in spirit!

So many foods remind me of blends. Oh my gosh…we’ve got to get some BlueBell to Lindsay! And probably to Laura too because I think she’ll be wanting some after all that asparagus.
Tina @ Best Body Fitness recently posted..Scenes from the Week
maybe we just need a bluebell meet up, yes? and then follow it up with pedicures!
So many lovely blends listed above! LOVE this post!
love all the blends. And i am glad that you are one too! thank goodness for blend because it introduced me to YOU!
I love this!!! I don’t think there is a day that goes by where I don’t think of one of my Blends! Today I’m thinking of you because I’m going to Trader Joe’s!!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables recently posted..Today is THE Day

Ah, I love this! I always think of blends when I do or eat certain things too! It honestly feels like real life friendships that I’ve evolved from blogs, it’s a beautiful thing! Whenever I have a glass of wine, I definitely think of you!:)
Lisa recently posted..Friday Five and Sweet Potato Chili
i know, so fun! makes me wish we all lived in the same city. hehe Cheers lovely!
This post rocks my world. I LOVE how there are so many things in “real life” that make me think of “blog friends”. Whenever I do anything on IG/Twitter that makes me think of you guys, I always try to let whoever it is know! It brightens my day when someone does that for me (like this post) so I know/hope it brightens others’ days too.
Caitlin recently posted..Fashion Friday: Halloween!
it always brightens my day! love it! and so special. hugs!
what i love about this blogging world i feel so connected and close to so many people i have never met. i always get a kick out of it when i dream of blog friends-us hanging out etc. so fun. love this post! tomorrow i will be thinking of you and katie and tiffany and stacie when i drink my wine! xoxoxox
kalli recently posted..Thankful Friday
i know, it feels so real. i truly hope one day that i can cherish some time well spent IRL with each and every one.
Such a fun and lovely post!! Food is so powerful, isn’t it? So closely tied to emotions and memories. Every special memory I have is usually tied to a specific meal or food or drink.
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf recently posted..October #YogaADay Photo Challenge
that makes it even better. I always say that calories don’t count if they are shared with loved ones. LOL
I love this post- AND YOU! And I love that I get to be OATMEAL Lauren! YES!!!
You are so pretty- in all of these photos!
Kombucha rules.
And pretty much every other food/drink you listed.
xoxo
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning recently posted..My Fitness Career
youre my special oatmeal lauren. It just flows better. And i love that. <3
Haha as I read this I’m eating a salad with a TON of peas on it!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats recently posted..November Goals
oh good! now i will think of you with peas!
This is adorable!! When I drink wine, I think of you for sure!
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile recently posted..Last–Survey
oh yea! now let’s make that happen in real life.
This is such a great post Lindsay! I love how you have connected with so many people within the blogging world through food! It makes it feel like you know them even when you have never met! Maybe you should start a link up?!
Sarah recently posted..Peanut Flour Brownies with Chocolate Swirls
oh that would be fun! i need to. HOw do i do link ups? LOL! i am so bad at technology
I am the same way! I know nothing about technology! Maybe Jenn at peasandcrayons would be willing to help? I think it would be a great Friday link up!
Sarah recently posted..Peanut Flour Brownies with Chocolate Swirls
oh ya, good call!
Oh I love this post!!! So cool…. argh wish I could have a wine with you FOR REAL again!!
Lou recently posted..virtual vegan potluck, round 2.
me too friend! and i still need to send you some goodies. Can i just ship myself? hehe
haha…this is great! so when u see an epic-fail cooking disaster, maybe u should start thinking of me.
jk.
every time i eat Puffins cereal i think of my blends Christina and Julia.

I think of my friend Ruby whenever I eat protein pancakes. P.S. Have you ever tried making your own kombucha?
mmmm pancakes. hehe.
yes, i do have my own kombucha. I have the tutorial in my recipe section. I should start making it again. I’m just being lazy. haha
This is such a fun post! I ALWAYS think of you when I drink wine…and kombucha (of course)! Oh, and when I eat a goat’s milk yogurt (you turned me on to that gloriousness)…and when I see Vegemite sitting on my kitchen counter (my housemate loves it). Yep, you’re a part of my day every day! I’m so grateful for your fantastic food recommendations, Lindsay, but more importantly, your friendship! Someday we will toast to that with an excellent glass of wine in hand. <3 <3
Sara @ Nourish and Flourish recently posted..2 + 7
oh that makes me happy! stock up on those goodies! hehe, cheers to you!
Love this post – when I think of kombucha I think of you and Laura (Sprint2theTable) for sure. Chocolate oatmeal, Ellen (FatGirlWearingThin). And so many more!
Laura @ LauraLivesLife recently posted..The Weekender
and when i eat cottage cheese on my salad i think of you, with a side of GF crackers of course. tee hee.
It’s really pretty amazing how food brings people together… that’s what I LOVE about Thanksgiving…no gifts, just food! The pickle and peanut butter sandwich reminds me if one my son “created” when he was about 3 years old; pb+mayo+capers. I asked him what he wanted for lunch one day and that’s what he came up with! I may have asked you this before, but have you ever tried making water kefir? Same great probiotics as kombucha, but a little easier to make at home. I’ve been making it for a couple of years now and my favorite thing to do with it is put it in the ice cream maker for a super yummy, probiotic packed sorbet
greengirlrunning recently posted..Milestones!
me too! thankful for LOVE and share in FOOD! Pb, mayo, and capers? I’d try that! LOL!
oh and no, i haven’t tried the water kefir yet. Is there a link to it? I would love to experiment!
Yes! I ordered my starter “grains” from here http://waterkefirgrains.com/
And they multiplied like CRAZY! It’s awesome because you can make probiotic soda by putting a few grains directly in juice. Concord grape juice cultures overnight and gets all fizzy… soooooo good! But you can also just use sugar water, then add fruit to flavor it. I love putting frozen raspberries into the water kefir, then you let it ferment a second time and end up with a gorgeous, delicious probiotic fizzy drink
greengirlrunning recently posted..Milestones!
oh my gosh, yes! love this!!! thank YOU!
LCCotter recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends
girl loved this posts! everything you said I agree with
xoxo funny how certain things or drinks make us thing of each other
purelymichelle recently posted..week through fitness + puppy + sponsor
i know, and i enjoy food and wine even more for it!
LCCotter recently posted..Feed Me Friday: Food and Friends
Lovely post! Whenever I drink wine I think you would approve! Hehe
I can’t say I’m into odd food combos. Perhaps I have to branch out and try the PB & pickles?!
Abby @ Change of Pace recently posted..Halloween & first ski
Ha, the green chile love will never die!! Glad someone shares the passion with me
Heather @ Dietitian on the Run recently posted..Marathon Recovery Week: Rest & Routine
you know it! Green chili goddess!
Oh I’m so late to reading this post, but MAN did it make me smile. Vegemite girls #FTW!! It’s funny how food and drinks really do remind us of our friends and I love it.
Heather @ Better With Veggies recently posted..MMAZ: Miso Potato Balls
hehe, yes! i love it because it reminds me of YOU!
Must go meet EMZ!
I must say whenever I drink GTs you pop in the thoughts as well as Nuttzo naturally and – random but – eggs with the whole yolk on top of a bunch of “food in a bowl” which is this new thing I’ve been doing and loving. I thought I could order up my HBs this past month but that will have to wait till this month. I know when I eat them that will be like sherpa energy in my bloodstream. lol.
I need to try vegemite.
