Penny's Nirvana

Breakfast was delightful. But, how could you go wrong with Kashi Heart to Heart Waffles, Maple Syrup, Banana Slices and a huge scoop of Crunchy PB?!

You can't!

Are you drooling?! Well, keep scrolling because it doesn't stop here....

After getting ready for work, I made a light summer salad of romaine, strawberries, walnuts and a light spritz of Wishbone Honey Mustard Buzz Salad Spritzers!

A repeat dish FO' SHO!

After working from 11AM-5PM, I came home and grabbed a CLIF ZBAR. I was headed off to the gym, when my mom told me that a package had come and she put it in the freezer. HALT!

I just love seeing this little logo...

That's right, ladies & gents, Penny's Low Fat Desserts sent me a whole box of their cookies and muffin tops! It was truly delightful to open this box and see all of these tempting treats! Stay tuned in the next few weeks because there MAY or MAY NOT be a giveaway in the works!?

After 30 minutes in the weight room & running 1.5 miles @ 6mph (I was ready to stop at 1 mile when "Check Yes Juliet" came strolling through my ipod & told me to "Run, Baby, Run"....well, how could I stop with that playing over and over in my ears?!), I came home and helped my mom with a few things (such as changing the stickers on my car).

I eventually got around to making dinner and it was

SIMPLE, FILLING & TASTY!

Just how I like 'em!

I layered a chopped sweet potato with 1oz of cheddar cheese and a mixture of refried beans and chopped broccoli. Alongside, I had (what else) a POM Spritzer!

I think this bite captures the essence of this bowl BEST! :)

What happened next is no surprise...I broke into my new treats and what better way to start than with a cookie named after your's truly (well, sort of! haha):

I'm not even sure how to start this description. Penny's Low Fat Desserts White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie literally took my breath away. I popped the frozen cookie into the toaster to take the chill off and dug straight in. It is big, soft, thick and full of cranberries and white chocolate chips that make for one of the best combinations ever (I have decided, after eating this cookie!).
Penny's Low Fat Desserts explains this phenomenon of a cookie as follows:

Paying close attention to the benefits of oats and fruit, Em, 16 considered how well the different flavors blend and the health attributes of oatmeal and real cranberries. Great idea then off it went to our food scientist for development!

I literally cannot wait until I am the food scientist that these ideas are flowing to! It is my dream job and I am doing everything I can to work my way towards that position.

Furthermore, "Emily's Medley" is the subtitle of this cookie...I would like to pretend that it's named after me because I am in LOVE! I mean, there is only 2.5g of fat & 150 calories in this sinful treat?! You've got to be kidding me!!

After engaging in this nirvana, I am still at a slight loss for words. Oh, my mom stole a bite and her only words were "Ahhh...yumm!". After calming down (and pressuring me for another bite), she demanded that I feature her sinfully delicious experience with all of my readers...so there ya go! :D

Now, it's time to munch on some cereal (A combo of PB Panda Puffs & Multigrain Cherrios) and read some blogs!

Look at what I found...
