Final Semester

"What happened to Snacking Squirrel?"

Camille has wondered the same, but alas I'm here, popping

 my head back into the blogosphere to connect back in a little

School is still continuing to eat up most of my time. I'm 

entering my final semester next week and will be a certified

 Education Assistant/Special Needs Assistant at the end of May

I still follow a gluten-free and lactose-free diet, learning to stay on 

track and not slip up being broke at college: I want to address how 

frustrating it is to not find food for me in the cafeteria, I am always the

odd duck heading to the nearest health food store to grab  take-out

So to counteract this, I try to make sandwiches in the morning to 

have for lunch, and this one right here is pretty much the usual for me

Poached egg, marble cheese, deli meat (when available), tomato, red onion, spinach

and arugula, mustard, and black pepper, tucked between toasted gluten-free bread

I am trying to get some things together to do a giveaway 

soon, as well as posting more frequently than once a month,

 and getting some more personal photos and adventures

Question: What was the first course you took in college?

Or what course would you like to take if you had the chance?

Bacon, Eggs and Toast

Here's a new feature to Snacking Squirrel: Bacon!

I've been eating more traditional-styled breakfasts while staying in Sicamous,

 whereas I'm normally partial to sweeter breakfast options like parfaits and muffins

But bacon, eggs, and toast are much more filling and 

energizing, and optimal for the cooler winter weather

2 sunny-side eggs with salt and pepper, a few 

strips of crispy bacon, and 2 slices of buttered toast

Questions: Are you a bacon fan? What is your 

favourite way to eat it, or best foods to pair it with?

Snowboarding and Sledding

Reece decided to take me back out to 

Sicamous, B.C. to spend Christmas with his family

The other day we drove out to his brothers'

 place a few minutes away in Malakwa, B.C.

I'm not accustomed to so much snow, so his brother made sure to give 

me a true "Canadian Christmas" by taking us sledding and snowmobiling 

Reece was excited to "show me the ropes" 

and take me on my first snowmobile ride :)

Teaching me before we take off

"Weeeeee!"

Now it's my turn to ride solo

Getting the hang of it...

Cutting through the fresh snow...

I definitely never thought I would ever

 get the opportunity to ride a snowmobile!

Pretending I'm sooooo cool haha

Heading back in...

Feeling TOO happy with a cheesy grin plastered on my face :)

Question: What are your favourite 

winter sports, past-times and activities?
