Fab Find: Special K Nourish Maple Brown Sugar Crunch

First I would like to say I am a big fan of a lot of Special K items. I love most of their cereal, especially Red Berries and the pastry crisps are a perfect 3 pp snack. I have noticed this new line on display on my BzzAgent website but also in ads on the Internet, but haven't dug into it. My bf and I were picking up some items at our local Winn Dixie and I saw an end cap with the Special K Nourish items sitting there and on sale for 1.99. I picked up the two flavors they had displayed. Special K Nourish Maple Brown Sugar Crunch Hot Cereal and Cranberry Almond. This morning I decided to try the Maple Brown Sugar Crunch. I was in a hurry for work and wanted something quick and easy and try something new. The top of the lid holds a mixture of almonds and then you pour in 1/2 cup of hot water in the cup which holds the oat mixture and I microwaved it for time purposes rather than steeping the water into the coop. It cooked up just like oatmeal does, like the Weight Watcher Oatmeal I have and the  Quaker Oats brand. The smell of the maple brown sugar was heavenly. You have to let it set for a good 1-2 minutes because it is extremely hot and the mixture thickens up. This is a description I got from the website Special K Nourish Maple Brown Sugar Crunch
     "A multi-grain hot cereal with superfoods like quinoa, oats, wheat and barley, it’s also a good source of fiber* and protein. And of course, is lightly sweetened with maple brown sugar and almonds. "

After I let it cool, I dug in. It was very tasty. I couldn't really distinguish the flavors of quinoa and oats and wheat and barley. It tasted just like oatmeal to me. The almonds definitely gave it a nice almond touch. This item is very convenient. The price was right at 1.99 per two pack, but for 5pp, I would rather make my own oatmeal or stick with my current brand of quick and easy oatmeal I use, which range at 3pp. But it was worth the try and the taste for sure. I still have the cranberry almond also to try :0)

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and
