Is that not the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life? Matt Matt and Santana.
Big thank you to Missy who got me a gift certificate to Erin Baker’s Wholesome Baked Goods! After hearing how much she enjoyed her organic brownie bite, I was dying to try all 3 brownie flavors – Double Chocolate, Walnut and Mint.

From their website:
Our Brownies are decadent, delicious, and LEGAL!
At Baker’s, we don’t bake anything unless we can bake it healthy! We combined fiber & protein aplenty to curb your cravings, and antioxidant-rich Belgian Chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Perfect for anyone who is looking for guilt-free indulgence . . . who isn’t?
Agreed.
I ordered them and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. The Double Chocolate and Mint flavors have 90 calories in each brownie and the Walnut has 100. I am so excited. I love brownies. Thanks, Missy!
ThisIsWhyYou’reFat did not accept my submission. They did, however, get a book deal.
Thank you Danielle from 365HealthyEats for awarding me with an E for Excellent award:

Danielle said, “(Dori’s) posts always make me laugh outloud, she’s got a great sense of humor. I’m also meeting (her) at the blogger brunch so can’t wait to meet…you!”
I am so excited to meet Danielle and the other girls! Also, maybe I can get Danielle to call my grandma and tell her about this award. My grandma is the cutest lady in the world, but she tells people that I have no sense of humor — while I am sitting right there. “My grandson Matthew is so funny, he makes all of us laugh! Oh, how he makes us laugh. But my granddaughter Dori…she just has no sense of humor.” I have to respond with, “Grandma, I am sitting right next to you — I can hear you.”
Of course, this story makes my brother, my mom, Mallories and I laugh every time we mention it. So at least something good came from my complete lack of humor.
Anyway, I am passing the award on to two bloggers I love:
Heather from Heather Eats Almond Butter for her delicious breakfasts. As you know, I love breakfast foods — and I really believe Heather should open a breakfast restaurant! She makes these incredible looking, innovative, healthy breakfasts every day.
Jen from Prior Fat Girl whose weight loss journey, successes and commitment to health have been nothing short of inspiring. Please visit her site, look at her before and after pictures and read her wonderful entries!



Yay! I can’t wait for you to try the Brownie Bites!! You will LOVE them! Congrats on the award! See ya soon!
Hahah I just found your blog. Seriously that thisiswhyyourefat website is hilarious
Your grandma is hilarious!! Everytime Matt calls her we end up laughing about something funny she said!! All the Manela’s are funny funny funny…especially YOU! Did your grandma or Matt ever win any blog awards for being a hilarious blogger? NOPE! Just Dori!
Congrats!
I have totally thought about telling Heather to open a restaurant! or at least a cookbook…SOMETHING
I am Way excited and extremely honored you choose me to hand the award to! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I’m pretty funny sometimes too!
Hey, that’s my mom you are laughing at! She is pretty funny!
That was my comment about my mom…not Dori’s
Grandma was right. Dori = NOT FUNNY.
However Dori does equal
1. A puppy
2. A girl
3. Quirky
4. A butt
5. A shvester
6. Made of salt
Congrats on your award and Happy Birthday! You are having a good week. And duh you so do have a sense of humor. I know from experience.
