Eating on the Run with McDonald's Food Changes

We all live in a fast paced world, right? We try to slow down but most of the time we are running out the door and our feet are following right behind us. There are times I forget to bring my coffee, breakfast and lunch to work because I am so busy trying to make it out on time.

I have a healthy commute for work, 30 miles round trip and roughly 30-45 minutes worth of travel, with traffic or accidents etc. And the same for the way home and then sometimes I travel for work to other locations, being in my car for a nice 8 hours. On those days I am so busy making my way out the door, I forget I need to eat. While I don't always stop for fast food, I know am happy to say I wont mind searching for those Golden Arches with the changes McDonald's has made to some of their menu items and lucky for me there is one on my way to and from work.

Here are some of the changes I am happy to see...

1. Committing to 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. I can enjoy my McMuffin a little bit brighter now.

2. Speaking of McMuffins, which holy yum, they are moving the margarine to 100% real butter

3. No more high corn fructose syrup in their buns for their famous Big Mac, Quarter Pounders, Filet-O-Fish, cheeseburger and hamburgers and McChicken sandwiches.

4. A big change is the removal of artificial preservatives in several items, such as the best chicken nuggets ever, the Chicken McNuggets, the pork sausage patties and omelette style eggs served on McGriddles and Bagel and Biscuit sandwiches.



5. They have replaced iceberg lettuce with romaine lettuce, baby kale and baby spinanch in the salads also.

I am McLoving the changes to the McDonald's menu.

The eggs and salad changes make me one happy girl. I have always enjoyed a egg sandwich with my fresh coffee and then for lunch or dinner, I know I can choose a good meal on the way home and not feel so guilty about it. And with the changes to these menu items, I can have a balance and enjoy a small order of fries, which we know are the best or a McFlurry for those hot days, Lord knows we have them here.

Also for some of those who live in different cities or areas of the world, McDonald's has been introducing other options for food too, to spice things up and make some changes such as in New England you can order a Lobster or Lobstah (my NE friends know ;0) Roll made with 100% North Atlantic Lobster or in San Fransico Bay Area you can order Gilroy Garlic Fries. Yum.

It is fun to see the changes McDonald's has been making. Fast food gets a bad wrap and can be eaten in moderation but it is awesome to see that NOW I can make some really good choices and not worry about all those added factors.

I might just forget my lunch or breakfast just so I can swing on by :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. 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
