Fruit, Veggies and Nuts

I enjoy reading other bloggers post and especially love when they have posts about recipes and snacks they are making. Undressed Skeleton, whom I have posted before, posted a picture of a blueberry, avocado, pecan, almond, honey drizzle snack she had made awhile ago and I was intrigued. I love all of those items, but was sort of weary about throwing an avocado into the mix. Don't get me wrong, I love avocado, BUT with fruit, I wasn't too sure.

So today after I ran, I was hungry, of course, so I made my lunch. Nothing fancy just a can of Progresso Light soup and then paired with this snack as a dessert option. Now my measurements aren't the best, I try to weigh and all that, but sometimes I just want to just put in everything and go for it.

1/4 cup of blueberries
1 tablespoon of cut up avocado
3 peach halves 
11 whole almonds
3 dried apricots
1 tablespoon of craisins
3 pieces of Nestle Baking Chocolate Chunks
A drizzle of Light Agave
A drizzle of Sugar Free Maple Syrup

Poured it all in a bowl and mixed.



OMG! Is the best way I could describe the taste and texture and amazement that was going in my mouth. It was salty, sweet and crunchy. All the things I love. I have a weakness for trial mix and this was a best way to sustain that craving and having it be good for me. The tastes all mixed so well. The veggie was such a great addition, it actually gave the mix a tart and then bam with the sweet of the blueberry and syrup. It was really good. I think I might even make it again for dessert tonight or definitely again during the week.

Have fun with it. Mix whatever you want, just remember in moderation is key.

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

Image
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...
