Thursday 13 - # 4








Thirteen snacks, meals, treats (whatever you want to call them) I've been wanting to blog about but haven't:



1. At Food Lion (and I'm sure it's at other grocery stores to) in the bakery/food ready to eat now section, every few weeks they have this AWESOME salad and whenever it's there I buy them out of it hehehe (so sorry - if you go to my Food Lion - you'll probably never get a chance to buy it)..... it is Chicken, Cranberry & Walnut with raspberry vinagrette dressing -- good stuff people! :) and only 290 calories! :)

2. At Costco, one of my fave shopping places, we buy this Mango Salsa and I'm telling you -- good!!!! :) I love the sweet from the mango & peaches, salty from the chips and spicy from the salsa yummm - about 160 calories for the whole snack

3. Brothers All Natural fruit crisps -- another Costco fave. 40 calories for bag people! Dried fruji apples or asian pears....mmm

4. Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches - don't buy them in a box- buy them in the plastic pack of six. I'm telling you - the pack of 6 in plastic has a crunchier outside, much better ice cream, I don't know why it's different, but it is - 140 calories each! :)

5. and how about key lime pie from the Oceanic --- with coffee... light and sweet, please - you can't get better than that - a meal overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole world (says I) followed by key lime pie & coffee -- 10,000 calories and worth every single smacking one!!

6. I gotta keep promoting Costco -- MomMom has hit the jackpot with this place. I never really went THAT much - but she has been going for 10 plus years and has been trying to convince me too and now I get it..... how about 4 HUGE wraps of chicken salad for $8! We made THREE MEALS out of it! wow

7. Costco --- chicken alfredo -- $10 - 6 meals!
8. Island Way frozen fruit sorbets --- I won't eat the pina colada or coconut, but the lemon, lime, orange mango and pineapple -- YUMMM :)

9. Again - Costco -- stuffed chicken - $10 - over 4 meals -- and the thing about the Costco meals is that they are so so quick - 350 for 30 minutes, you're ready! :) slop it on a plate with salad - good to go :)

10. watermelon -- just plain and perfect watermelon - my fave summer treat !:) Raymond and I could eat a whole watermelon together without even blinking
11. strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries --- don't you love summer?

12. when I'm running really low on creativity and funds - I just throw some greens in a bowl, throw in some sliced almonds that come in a package (and are so cheap) and add some raisins and italian dressing and there's another meal! looks way more gourmet than I ever thought it would

13. and finally --- we took Raymond to Blackhorn's (?) at Carolina Beach and got him fried mac and cheese! I tell you what - those people are smart! You can take those suckers on the beach, and mac and cheese is finger food --- yes they are probalby HORRIBLE for him, like any other fried food - but for a treat once in a while -- YAY! :)
so there you have it --- you can tell MomMOm is here because all I am thinking about is food and I've been consuming a LOT LOT LOT of it....... it's feast time! :)
love you all --- be back next week after MomMom leaves...I hope you all will give me some love, I'll need it. I will be so sad when she goes again...

  1. I was wondering if she was still there since you have been quiet on here. William and I just got some watermelon this past weekend. YUM! I love Costco too, but it's too far of a drive for us now. We are member's of BJ's wholesale. I'm all about buying in bulk and at an awesome price!

  2. You know I'm a cryer and I cry every time hubby leaves to go to sea - especially when I knew he was going on a dangerous mission. It wasn't really because I was worried about him, but just that I was lonely. And he'd always say something funny that makes more sense looking back on it "I have to leave so that I can come back and make you happy again."

    And he would make me promise to laugh as hard when he came back as I cried when he left. :-)
