OH MY GOSH!!!

Everyone has GOT TO go out and buy a bag of these! They are out of this world amazing! I think they taste just like thin mint girl scout cookies, but in a soft tasty form that just melts in your mouth. I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, but they don't even really taste like they're made with dark chocolate. Grandma Ruth shared one with me yesterday, and I am HOOKED! They're the perfect little treat to satisfy that sweet tooth, but they're only 25 calories so you can eat 4 of them and not even feel guilty, but still feel like you got your candy fix.

Figs anyone?

We have a fig tree out in our yard, and I came home to this sitting on the counter tonight. They are SO SWEET and so good. I took some to work, and they had no idea what figs are. I had to explain that figs are the things they make Fig Newtons out of.

This is what the inside of the figs look like. They're so sweet they almost taste like candy. It's nice that I can just go out to the backyard and pick them right off the tree!

Mom bought these red heart balloons for Andrew and Autumn to play with. I thought this pic was kind of cool.

Zit Candy

WARNING, IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH, DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO, OR READ WHAT I WROTE BELOW!!!


This is the grossest/coolest candy ever. A kid at work showed them to me. I don't know about y'all, but I kind of get this little giddy pleasure inside when I pop a zit and it squirts all over the mirror. Gross, I know...but it's so true. Anyways, so when he showed me these, I nicknamed them the Zit Candy! They're so addicting to squeeze, and I just keep squeezing them, even though I don't want to eat that many. But, lucky for me, Autumn likes to eat them. So I squeeze them and she eats them for me! They aren't super sour, either. They're just tasty, and they are so fun, you have to go buy a bag and try them! I found mine at Target in the candy isle for like $1.20. So cheap for such fun entertainment with a treat to eat at the end!

Fast and easy lunch idea

I had this for lunch today. It's probably not the healthiest meal ever, but it was pretty dang tasty. It's super easy and fast and cheap. You just put some warm water in it, microwave it for a few minutes, and stir it up. To make it a little healthier, I threw in some frozen peas at the end. It filled me up and tasted so scrumptious.

Quick Dinner

So I have found a tasty and easy and yummy dinner. I buy 2 boxes of this Pasta Roni Angel Hair Pasta with Herbs. I make it like it says on the boxes and then I add one can of that good canned chicken and a can of corn. It's so fast, so cheap, and tastes really good. Just thought I'd share in case any of you out there in blog land are looking for something new to try for dinner.

Another new favorite snack

I know I've been posting about food a lot lately, but when I find a good and healthy treat, I like to share it with others. It's a whole wheat English muffin (good source of grains) with reduced fat peanut butter (good source of protein) and sugar free raspberry preserves (good source of fruit). I could eat about 20 of these a day, but I only have 1 a day as my mid-afternoon snack. It's a grown up twist on the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich from childhood. If you try it out, let me know if you love them as much as I do.

New favorite snack

I went grocery shopping the other day on my lunch break. I find that I don't spend near as much money if I buy some groceries to keep at work instead of eating out for lunch. I also tend to eat a healthy breakfast, which we all know is the most important meal of the day, if I have cereal and milk or instant oatmeal at work instead of grabbing fast food breakfast burritos for breakfast every once in a while. Anyways, while shopping I figured I would try this yogurt as a mid-morning snack. I wasn't too sure about how it would taste since it's fat free and light. Can I just say I was amazingly surprised. It was SO DANG GOOD! I even made some of the people at work try a bite b/c it was so yummy. After I had scarfed it down and enjoyed every bite of this decadence, I kept the yogurt cup and just sniffed it throughout the day b/c it smelled and tasted so scrumptious. Maybe I was just super hungry that day so it tasted better than it really was?

So, you have to try it out and let me know what you think.
