Friday Fab Finds

Good Friday Morning!!!

Its a nice long weekend for a lot of people this weekend. I am fortunately off Sunday and Monday and then get a third day off during the week. I Love Holiday weeks, I am just happy to have two days off back to back.

So what a better way then to post some Fab Finds I have been finding, so you can hit the stores and check them out..


I bought these awhile ago and completely forgot to upload them!! These are wonderful. I made a cauliflower rice with them and it was easy and quick. You can make pizza crust, etc, all those fun things without having to go crazy to chop up a head of cauliflower. I found them at Target.


I know Summer is ending BUT it is Labor Day, so the last weekend of Summer and get yourself one of these. It was so yummy and I am not always a huge Grapefruit fan. But it was clean and crisp. They do have a PUMPKIN one, that I am picking up tomorrow, wait to you see how I will be enjoying it.


I love oatmeal. I LOVE even more, quick and all ready package Oatmeal and I love oatmeal cups. The only problem, they come high in calories and high in Points. But they are great for those mornings I just want to throw something in my bag and  head to work. The Think Thin one was a vanilla one with Almonds and Pecans. It was very good, I haven't had the Oatmeal Unleashed one yet, only because it is 7pp and I am waiting for a day when I am okay with giving that up in one shot. haha.


I LOVE ME SOME YOGURT!!!!!! If you haven't already noticed and Pumpkin Yogurt is probably one of my all time favorites. Damn wish these were out when I had my wisdom out. But anyway...Noosa is soooo good. It is extra creamy and it has real pumpkin puree in there. The second one is Cranberry Apple, which I was expecting to be very tart and it wasn't at all. The Elli Quark was sea salt caramel and I was not impressed. I had high hopes, because I have seen so many people say them love that brand, and it's only 2pp but it was very bland to me. The simply balanced one is awesome too and that one is 3pp. The NOOSA is the mini packs, which are 4oz cups for 4pp. A tad high for yogurt, but believe me so worth it. They do sell a big container that is 8oz for 8pp.


Another Quark flavor, Mint Chocolate. I haven't tried it yet. Bringing it in my lunch today actually.


This is an oldie but an oh so goodie. Pumpkin Pie Spice PB!! I got this last year and fell in love. But it is limited and I found it at Big Lots, for very cheap this year. I have only got one but I did see they had a ton left. PB is sometimes a trigger for me. But this stuff is only 4pp for 2 Tablespoons, so not too bad and I Love the whipped texture.


I had really high hopes for these because I Follow Jif on Crowdtap and have done a ton of surveys and such for them. I finally found them in the store and picked them up. They are good, but  not great. I mean chocolate and PB is great no matter what, but ehhh. I will probably give the rest to James to bring to his job for the guys so they  have something to munch on when they cant leave for lunch.


Okay, I FINALLY jumped on the Kodiak Cakes bandwagon. I have seen so many peo ple post about these pancakes and they are everywhere now. Wish is great because I can only find FlapJacked at really expensive stores or online. So the deal with this mix is its a 1 for 1 measuring. You do 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of mix, that will give you either 3 pancakes or 2 waffles, depending on how you size the batter. I LOVE THESE. I love anything quick and easy. I bought a waffle maker, specifically for these and I was super happy and surprised with how they came out. Then I used them to make pancakes yesterday morning and James was over the morn happy with them also.  They have protein ones also. The 1/2 cup method has them coming out to 5pp.


I picked this nugget of wonderful up at a health food store by our house the other day. I ate it before I went for my 4 mile run. It was freaking delicious. Anything for me with Coconut is right on the money. And it was only 4pp. The brand is called Betty Lous. I will be going back to this store, Earth Orgins, to pay and arm and a leg, just so I can stock up on these.


See how amazing that looks!!


I don't know why it has taken me so long to get these from Trader Joe's but they are fantastic. In there frozen section. 3 are 120 calories are 3pp. They are soft and full of flavor!!! Pistachio is my favorite,  want a whole thing of just pistachio. But the other flavors are good too, even the Fig.


Thank you Dunkin Donuts Calendar reminding me of my most favorite time of the year.  I will be doing a Pumpkin blog soon, with some awesome Pumpkin goodies out there.


And you remember the Bufflao Cauliflower and BBQ corn obsession I have. Well now they have added more to this frozen flavor explosion. I found these at Winn Dixie the other day. I haven't tried them yet, but I will be very soon. I love that they are steam bags and quick and easy. 2-4pp.


Happy Shopping!!!

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. 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 ...

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...
