Scribbles About Food: Costco Food Haul

So... I didn't really know what to post today, but my mom and I just went to Costco and got some food mostly of the snack variety... I'm tryin to keep it healthy... but lets be real here... it doesn't all work out that way. Lol.

So the thing that is the most on the healthy side that we got is actually the reason why we went to Costco to begin with and that is the Goodness Knows Very Cranberry bars. These are awesome. They're filling enough that if I don't have time for breakfast or lunch, I grab one of these and I'm good to go. Its also a great dark chocolate flavor. Its made by Mars, who also make Dove dark chocolates and it tastes similar to the dove fruit with dark chocolate. I'm not a big dark chocolate fan, but I do really enjoy this dark chocolate and the dove dark chocolate. It is 150 calories... which isn't the lowest calorie snack that you can have... but for me these are more of a meal and they're filling that way. They also do break the bar up into 4 squares, so if you wanted a square or 2 as a snack, you could do that... but these do taste really good and you might want the whole thing anyway.

Next we passed their samples... and you know how Costco samples are... lol. This was for a new limited edition snapple called Lady Liber-tea. I just tried the sample cause I was thirsty... I didn't think I would like it... but I liked it a lot. So we got a pack. These are 150 calories for a bottle... so its not much healthier than soda... but its still a healthier alternative... plus one bottle of this is actually pretty big. I could totally have half for lunch and half for dinner or something like that... so it is kind of a lot. The flavors in this are natural raspberry, white peach and blueberry... get it red, white and blue? Lol. Really great flavor, very unique and I would recommend picking one up.

Plus a lot of times I'll drink starbucks or a frappuccino or something... this is a healthier alternative to that... is kind of how I'm looking at it lol.

And last but not least... this is not even slightly healthy but it is absolutely amazing. They have these snacks called snappers which are like chocolate turtles but with pretzels in them... and this one has peanut butter also. Ohhh my god. Its so sooo sooo good. These aren't just sold at Costco, I've seen these at Harmon and probably Bed Bath and Beyond, but the big momma bags are at costco and... you might want the big momma bags. Lol. I'm trying to be good right now, so I've only had one. One is a lot though and the serving size is 3 for 200 calories... not nearly as bad as I thought lol... but these are a fantastic little treat and its sooo soo good. I really needed some chocolate snacks in my life today and this was just perfect. Its salty and sweet and just the best.


So that is everything. All very yummy. I'm going to eat it all right now. Nom nom nom... Okay. Lol that was weird... but yeah.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
