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?
