spic·y /ˈspīsē/. Adjective; Hot, Sexy, Sassy
ex. "Damn that biznitch is spicy!"
(definition courtesy of Urban Dictionary lol :p )
Oooh yeah, this "better for you" alternative to those delicious Buffalo wings was definitely " spicy".
Nutritious, protein-loaded dish thats definitely got some sass.
Who says healthy has to be boring? Puh-lease! Just have to think outside the box. Get creative. Have fun. Create. Make some good shit, using good stuff.
Of course its important to also Enjoy the " real stuff " ever so often . . . Mmmmm . . . dripping-in-oil, drenched-in-bleau-cheese, wash down with an ice cold beer, then finish off with a deliciously piece-of-heaven-in-your-mouth sweet Macaroon (which BTW these all go in my SoulFood category . good for the soul! : )
BUT, Whats NOT " Hot, Sexy & Sassy " about taking care of yourself?!
"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live"
Duh.
