Dear Cadbury, how do you create the cutest, pastel, delicious, milky, chocolaty, melt in my mouth, candy coated little miracles known as Cadbury Mini Eggs???Probably as means to torment with me. Now most of the time I am a Dark Chocolate lover...but this is one of those great exceptions...it just doesn't get much better that this. So far I have retained control packing only FOUR of these little babies up in plastic wrap to take to work with me (okay maybe 1 more while packing lunch this morning) :)
Screw Valentines Candy...Gimme the Easter shiz!!!
I also broke open a new bag of TJ's Tempting Trail Mix to grab a few goodies for my oats.
The Mix du jour:- 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup water, salt
- 1/2 banana
- 1 tsp Pumpkin butter
- 2 dried cherries, 3 choc. chips, 3 PB chips, 2 peanuts, 1 almond from Tempting Trail Mix
- Zoe's Granola
- unsweetened coconut
- White Choc. PB spoon
I just had an AMAZING revelation: Plot 1 of those gorgeous cadbury eggs in my oats!! Oh yes this is so on the menu this week :)HOT...yoga that is
Because I missed Hot Yoga this past Saturday, I planned to go last night. MAN, these evening classes are SO much sweatier. There is a class right before ours so the room is already steaming away...although I LOVE the sweat!! The instructor seemed to like my dancer pose last night ( I don't think I've mentioned to her that I dance hehe).
Before yoga I ate an apple and some trail mix. After Hot Yoga I always crave 1 thing...CEREAL!
I had a mini bowl with PB Puffins and Kashi Go Lean Crunch! I think because I'm still hot from yoga this is nice and refreshing...plus I'm ALWAYS up for cereal. Then even though it was getting late I wanted to roast a pan of veggies to eat this week!
I used:
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 head cauliflower
- 1/2 large head of broccoli
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 1 summer squash
- 1/2 red onion
Chopped all up, tossed with some Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a splash of balsamic and a sprinkling of Nana Salt (a mixed herb/salt that my aunt makes...its kind of a family recipe that I NEED to get!!)
Beauties
Almost done...
These smelt heavenly roasting at 400 for about 45-50minutes! I split them all into three containers and had 1 with my lunch today...AMAZING! I love how roasting brings out a natural sweetness...mmmm.
Product Review - Quaker True Delights Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond
I didn't think I was going to like this one as much...I'm usually not a fan of berries in granola bars. However, this was my FAVORITE!! I still think these are more of a healthier sweet treat rather than a regular snack though. The raspberry gave a delicious fresh tart berry pop of flavor which was complimented nicely by the dark chocolate! I also love the chewiness. Couldn't taste the Almond much, but they were still great!
