Weekends always go by so stinkin’ fast! I spent my Saturday rushing about from store to store running errands and picking up dry cleaning. Before I knew it, the day was gone.
My house was also a hot mess. I spent some time getting it back under control as well. For some reason when I get home from a trip, I am REALLY good at destroying the place. Clothes everywhere and just all around laziness. I think I have everything in check now… but keep in mind, I leave for Missoula tonight, so it will all start over again.
The other thing I feel like I did this weekend was EAT. I’ve been eating more lately, I think. Not really losing weight…. And everything I’m eating is light/lowfat and on the healthy side, but there’s just a lot of it. More to come on this topic later in the week.
I’ve (once again) vowed this week will be better! So, stay tuned to hear about the results. In the meantime, I’ve tried a few new things that I wanted to share. You’ll notice a not surprisingly peanut butter theme below.
MULTI-GRAIN PEANUT BUTTER CHEERIOS
I remember tweeting about these, but I don’t remember if I shared them with you. Have you tried PEANUT BUTTER CHEERIOS!?! Holy cow! These are hands-down the most delicious O’s I’ve ever tried. If you haven’t tried them yet… you really ought to.
As a peanut butter lover, the bowl of PB yumminess is worth every single one of the 110 calories that you spend eating them per serving.
WEIGHT WATCHERS NEW FROZEN BREAKFAST OPTIONS
I’ve whined before about my breakfast limitations. I don’t eat eggs, so I’m sort of limited by normal breakfast cuisine. My sister-in-law Beth told me about the new Smart Ones options, and I had to try them.
I picked up the Pancakes and Turkey Sausage breakfast and ate it on Saturday morning. It was so good! Now, of course, I added a little PB2 to the cakes to make them extra delicious. REALLY good. I’ve missed sausage (and bacon) and it was nice to have some!
SALTY SWEET GOODNESS
I went to Target this weekend to pick up some Fiber One 90 Calorie Peanut Butter bars, and found a new treat on the shelf – - Fiber One 90 Calorie Caramel Pretzel bars! Wow! Such a nice treat. They seemed to have a slightly mocha flavor… and the pretzel is so tasty!
I also found a new LUNA bar to enjoy as well. Have you heard about the new Peanut Honey Pretzel flavor?? Really good. I don’t eat Lunas often, but I just had to try this one too. Also delish!
GREEK YOGURT DIP
The first time I tried Greek yogurt. I hated it. There, I said it. I know that all the healthy living bloggers SWEAR by Greek yogurt… but I didn’t like it AT ALL. Judge on, folks… judge on!
I decided to give it another shot last week, buying a container of Fage Plain Yogurt and mixing in a pack of dip seasoning. I’m not sure what I ate the first time when I hated it, but I LOOOOOOVED it the 2nd time around. Fage + Hidden Valley’s Harvest Dill is AWESOME, and I’ve eaten so many veggies ever since! YUM!
What have you found out and about that’s tickled your tastebuds this week?? Do tell!

Actually, interestingly enough my latest find that has REALLY tickled my taste buds (THANKS TO YOU!) has been those delicious fiber one granola bars. Holy crap I want to eat them all day, but thankfully given the high fiber content I limit myself to just one. I didn’t get to have any last week because I was trying to eat really cleanly to kick off the Jillian program I’m doing, but man oh man, week 1 is up, and you bet your butt I bought more at the grocery store last night.
Also, interesting greek yogurt fact about me – I think plain chobani is N-A-S-T-Y…I seriously have to choke the stuff down. Tried to make a dip with it once and it didn’t make it any better. However, I am IN LOVE with raspberry chobani….it’s so so so so good I can’t understand how it’s related to plain chobani. Anyway, you’ve inspired me, perhaps it’s time to try a different brand
Love everything here
Very exciting to see these new changes!
Oh boy I have been buying those 90 cal peanut butter bars since they came on the market last year. I could eat a jar of PB every day
. I haven’t try yet those Luna bars for some reason I look at the calories and sugar and still can’t convicted myself to try them. I have diabetes, so I try as much as I can to pick and choose how I used the max of gram of sugars. I too LOVE the PB Cheerios, I mix half PB kind with normal multi grain for a less cal but more in volumes.
I’m with you on the Greek yogurt, I’m not completely sold yet, I keep trying different brands, so far I can eat the blueberry and strawberry from Danon and Chobani. The only thing that I don’t like is the actual fruit on them. I like flavor but not the texture of fruit in the yogurt. The worst in all brand is the vanilla! It’s so disgusting that I had never finished one completely. If I want to eat vanilla kind I eat the Activia Light(those are my fave).
Hmm, those WW sounds like an alternative to my JC breakfast. For the last 2 months I had been eating cereal, scramble eggs and sunshine sandwich from JC. Since, I had the French toaste and pancakes so much that I got sick from them :/.
This week I had been having some light banana bread (that I made with whole wheat flour and no oil, I used no sugar apple sauce) for snacks.
The stats on the pancakes are a little higher than JC, but it’s very good and you get sausage! Have you tried PB2? If not, you seriously should…click on the link above. Mmmmm
I haven’t every single time that I go to Sprout or WhooleFood I keep forgetting. I really want to try it.
*convince….lol
I must admit, I had many preconceived notions about Greek yogurt myself, but kept hearing from people how great it was and the health benefits (hello great source of protein) so I recently decided to try it out. I greatly enjoyed both the Oikos brand and the Chobani. I must admit, I added a little more caloric count on to it with a small dash of granola, but it is TOTALLY worth it.
