GREAT FINDS TO CHECK OUT…….
🍷Cheers! Laura 
quickly justified consuming these fat fried bursts of flavor by reminding ourselves that we did water jog🙃. So, essentially, the moral of this story is “calories in and calories out.” There are, however, good calories and not so good calories, but an occasional splurge isn’t a bad thing. Unfortunately, I often justify these binges by thinking, “If this were my last meal, it would totally be worth it.” It was.
