Trader Joe's Haul #2

I think the beauty I find in Trader Joe's is each time I go, I seriously find something new to pick up each time. I also make it a mission to get something new each time, I mean I have to try it all, to figure out what I really like.

Since, I was off yesterday, I figured it would be a great time to go. Trader Joe's is over in Tampa, which is about 30-45 minutes away, so I have to make sure I bring my lunch bag and my ice packs to keep anything frozen still cool.

James came with me also, to check it out. We did pick up some seafood also, stuffed flounder with crab meat, I didn't picture it or the wine we got. I picked up one called CocoBon, I can't wait to try it this weekend.


Sweet Potato Tots. I have tried the Alexia brand before, so I have a feeling these will be just as yummy. These are great for the morning also with your breakfast.


I have had this before and it is AHHMazing!!! So yummy. I put it on everything. 2 tablespoons is only 1pp and 30 calories. It is made with Greek yogurt and tastes like regular guacamole. I love chips and guac when I get Chipotle, this might be my new stable. I put it on my turkey wrap today too.


LOVE THESE!!!!! I have heard and seen so many people fave about these on Instagram and I finally picked them up. We had these for dinner last night with some of Guac on top with a sandwich thin. Perfect taste, only 150 calories or 4pp. Takes about 10 minutes to cook and your good to go.


Picked up some condiments to go along with stuff we cook. The coconut oil spray I was so excited about, I used it tonight when I roasted butternut squash. The cold brew coffee concentrate, I have read about, so giving it a try. The marinades will be put to use on veggies, fish and chicken, the same with the chili sauce. The fig butter is really tasty, I had it on my english muffin this morning. I would never have tried something like this years ago, I am so glad my taste have changed.


I cant leave with out some snacks. I love their dried fruit section and I want to get everything when I am there, but I will try a little at a time. The Fuji apple slices, Dried mango and dried mandarin oranges, which they are to die for and so addicting. And in the back some whole wheat pita pockets. I will be pairing those with my giant tub of Hummus I got from Costco a while ago.


And lastly the sweet spot. They have a LOT of dark chocolate items, LOTS and it is hard to pick and choose from at times. I have to be very careful and use self control, I don't know why I tempt myself, I guess its a game I like to play. The dark chocolate marshmallows are awesome and the same with the orange sticks. They are a orange jelly with dark chocolate over, perfect for the Sunshine Orange state. And of course my favorite almond milk. I don't normally get it at TJ's but it was right and didn't have to make another stop.

It was a good haul and I am excited to eat it all lol. I also got some chopped veggies and butternut squash cubes.

Low Point Apple Crisp

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. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

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
