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!!)
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!
hahahah those little eggs are the devil! They are SOOO good!
ReplyDeleteLove roasted veggies- Yours look gorgeous!
Glad you are still loving the hot yoga, I have to get back in there and take another class!

Roasted Veggies, Cereal, Oatmeal, Granola Bars....GOOD EATS!
ReplyDeleteI ALLLLWAYYS crave cereal but unlike you, I have lower self-control when it comes to pb puffins. They're just sooo tasty!! I'm gonna have to take your lead and make sure I don't snack with the bag and pour it into a bowl like you instead. :P

Roasted veggies look so yummy !! The cream eggs are my favorite, I try so hard to stay away from them.

ReplyDeleteHells yes to the Mini Eggs! I was just thinking as I was reading your post that Mini Egg oatmeal is a must!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love me some Kashi GoLean Crunch + Puffins as well! It's one of my fave cereal mixes.
Those Cadbury eggs are so freakin' addictive.
ReplyDeleteI love them so much and have to stock up before Easter so I have a stash to last me until Christmas, when they have that version out.
Just discovered your blog and love it!
