Slimmed Down Fall Drink Favorite

It is pumpkin overload season and I LOVE IT!!!! I seriously have something every day that has pumpkin in it. I have gotten ground pumpkin coffee and pumpkin k-cups for my coffee addiction at home, but sometimes at work I would like something a little different, so I head to Starbucks. Well, I am not one who likes to drink their points on Weight Watchers, so I a PSL (Pumpkin Spiced Latte) is out of the question for me. Way to many points, maybe towards the end of the season I will give in, but for now I stick to an Iced Grande Coffee with skim milk, splenda and two pumps pumpkin, turns out to be 1pp. I will take that and run with it.

I was at Target the other day and found the Tazo Pumpkin Spiced Latte concentrate. I am a big fan of the concentrates, I have posted the Green Tea and Spiced Chai Latte early, you can find them under the Daily Eats or Fab Finds tab on the home page. They are low in calories and mixed with 1 or 1/2 cup of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk it makes for a crazy low point drink. I purchased the Pumpkin Spice and made it for work the other day.



1/2 cup of the PSL concentrate
1 cup of almond milk
4-5 ice cubes or however many you desire
mix and enjoy

You can use the concentrate for hot drinks also.

I recommend just using 1/2 cup of the milk or maybe 2/3, the full cup was a little too much milk for me and distracted from the pumpkin, but all in all it tasted the same as Starbucks, at less money, less points and less calories.

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

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
