For now, lets check out some of the eats I found at the grocery store tonight (we went to pick up my puppies after we got out of the airport and they were shaking because they were so nervous! SOOO glad to have them back...until Saturday, when I leave again...for school.....ahhhh! It's all so fast!)....
A new Cereal! :D
Cascadian Farm Organic Flax Right Pomegranate Raspberry Clusters...for $2.99
Review to come...
Annie's Mac N Cheese....an old favorite!
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Oatmeal Bread.....it was pretty good. Nice and Hearty!
Some Random Veggie Burgers that were on sale!.....Franklin Original Recipe Fresh Veggie Burger (Gluten Free)
I immediately fed my grumbling tummy when we got home from the store...it was great; but also eaten waaaay to fast! Whoops...
And then my daddio showed me the stack of mail that accumulated while I was gone...add it to the list! However, packages never wait! ;)

So intriguing, in fact, that my dad and I dove right in!
You get 15 dense, crunchy, flavor packed nuggets in one 150 calorie serving! Score!
My dad tried the Salty Pepper flavor (again...and again...just tonight) and said "It tastes just like normal!...Tell your blog that." HAHAH! That speaks volumes because he is weary of anything "healthy"!

I dove into the Chez Cocoa variety first and loved the chocolate background of flavor....but you do have to like sunflower seeds because they are the main component! Good thing I DO!!!
I also won a big ZEVIA Giveaway over at Mom on the Run! Woot! I got one of every flavor...and of course..couldn't wait to dive in!
The Ginger Ale Zevia is spot on with that unique Ginger Ale flavor and truly did have a more natural taste than your traditional diet soda!

Enough of that....Here's a peek into my trip! Too fun!
Enough of that....Here's a peek into my trip! Too fun!My aunt and cousin love McDonald's Iced Teas; but the Starbucks lover in me decided to give their McCafe Latte a try!
Delish! Just like Starbucks.....no really!
My aunt had a bunch of Weight Watcher Snacks, so I tried the Weight Watchers Peanut Butter Cookie. It was small and not all natural by any means; but man was it dense with a smooth PB taste!
Breyers 100 Calorie Cheesecake YoCrunch tasted simply like a 1/2 plain & 1/2 vanilla yogurt mix with an optional 1/2T graham cracker nubs mixed in. I didn't get even a hint of Cheesecake essence...sort of a joke. I love Breyers, but this particular product let me down!
Caesar Salad Pizza....That's All I have to say!
I dug into my mom's travel candy stash and found a Chick-O-Stick...Sure, it's flourescent orange and all; but it's also crispy, crunchy layers of peanut butter, candy goodness! MMM!
The cake at one of the baby showers... PINK PINK PINK!
RACE FOR THE CURE!

RACE FOR THE CURE! This was such a fun experience! We enjoyed walking the mile so much and I got lots of granola bars, 1 larabar (they were basically out by the time I got to their booth) and other random stuff! :)....what a great cause!
FUZE had a HUGE booth with more samples than you could dream of...my cousin and I were more than happy to give 'em a try!

All of those people = Lots of Fundraising $$$

We also took part in a variety of craft projects...after seeing this at Pottery Barn Kids when we were looking at Baby Stuff (of course), I decided to recreate my own on a smaller scale....with a cupcake and ice cream cone pattern...i'll take pictures of the final project after I hang them in my dorm next week!
I also made a pencil holder after a trip to Micheals...
One last thing....my plane snack was some Aged White Cheddar Pirates Booty...(along with lottssss of cereal!)...why have I never tried this stuff? I'm addicted! :D
Off I go to finish unpacking, organize my to-do list and prepare for take off...

ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy! So many products! It means a lot when my dad likes a product that is "healthy" too...I mean he's very picky, and weary of what I give him!
ReplyDeleteI see you purchased a Kroger MAnager Special...I love seeing those tags on foods. They are on organic, vegetarian foods often, which is when I buy them :) Love the baby shower cake too, it's so..pink! And gorgeous of course.
Weird...I read this post while sitting in the Kansas City Airport (MO however).

Whew! That was quite a post! :) I love all the snacks you got at the grocery store and I love anything made by Annie's! I am so proud that you did the Race for the Cure! Good for you! I am a HUGE supporter or Susan G. Komen for the Cure and have been doing volunteer work for them for the last 10 years or so. In fact, I'll be doing my 5th Breast Cancer 3-Day walk this year! I'm PSYCHED! Check my blog for my training updates when you're bored. :)
