I'm Obsessed...

Someone at Trader Joe's a genius and made coleslaw much more nutritious! Combined with a soy sesame dressing, is makes it a wonderful side for any summertime dinner or BBQ.

This is very simple!

1. Buy the Trader Joe's Organic Broccoli Slaw and Trader Joe's Sesame Soy Ginger Vinaigrette Dressing.

2. Combine in a bowl.

3. Stir and dress the broccoli slaw. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tonight it was grilled streaks and broccoli coleslaw!

  

Okay, I know this isn't the prettiest dinner, but I can say it was delicious, nutritious, and very satisfying.

It's that time of year again, and I am Obsessed!

Are you all ready for those deliveries that are about to arrive if they haven't already?  Or the personal battle between bathing suit season prep and tasty little treats?  As you can see, tasty little treats usually win with me. 

A few months ago, most of you had a cute little girl wondering through your office, or knocking on your door asking if you would like to buy some Girl Scout cookies.  Fortunately, I didn't have to perform extreme acts of self control because I work from home and no cute girls knock on my door, but Andrew did the dirty deeds and ordered 6 boxes of cookies.

He brought home Trefoils, Somoas, Thin Mints, and a new box to our regular order, Do-Si-Dos.  Andrew said it was a mistake he didn't mean to order the Peanut Butter Creme Do-Si-Dos, but I am glad he did!  These cookies are awesome.  They are perfect for dipping in a cold glass of milk, softening (but not to the point of mushy), and then in two delicious bites you are done and on to the next cookie.  Before you know it you have gone through half of a roll, well that is what happened to me this afternoon.

 

Now that I have discovered these, the self control is going to be more important every time I walk into the grocery store, wish me luck!

Within walking distance of my house is a local coffee shop, The Daily Grind. They have a whole wall of different coffees, but the one that keeps me coming back over and over, the Cinnamon Bun coffee. It is a Colombian roast with a touch of cinnamon, and every time I take a sip I smell the sweet aroma of fresh baked Cinnamon Buns.  It doesn't require any sugar or cream, I like mine with a splash of Non-Fat Milk.  I think it is like breakfast in a coffee, I'm obsessed.

NOTE: They are cash only, so any time I have a few bucks in my wallet, I am sure to spend it on a Cinnamon Bun Coffee!  Today, I had to add up all my spare change to find enough to purchase this sweet morning treat.

I'm Obsessed...

"I'm obsessed" is something I often say when I find something new that I can't get enough of it.  I am one of those people that will enjoy it over and over again until I am sick.

Recently, a friend brought over desserts when we were hosting a dinner.  They were cutest little ice cream cones, first part of my obsession anything mini just gets me.  But then biting into the hard chocolate shell and chocolate ice cream brought the biggest smile to my face, probably the best chocolate ice cream I have had in a long time.  You still get everything you would in a full sized ice cream cone but you have no guilt, you can't, it is mini, right?

You can find these delicious treats at Trader Joe's in the frozen section, Hold the Cone! Trader Joe's Mini Ice Cream Cones, Chocolate.  And if you were wondering just 70 calories (30 from fat)
