Helloooooo!!

So I had an amazing weekend with my sweet boyfriend!  He makes me so happy :)!!  We have big plans for this coming weekend to.....THE FAIR!!!! Saturday we are going to one of my favorite places ever, the South Carolina State Fair!  It is going to be sooo fun!  Can't wait!  Anyway, this weekend didn't have any really healthy or note worthy eats...although I did have a big veggie filled sub from Subway if that counts ;)!  I also got 2 lovely packages, one from Nancy's Healthy Kitchen and the other from Larabar!!!  I <3 packages!! 

Nancy's Healthy Kitchen sent me an awesome cookbook with tons of recipes for fun salad dressings! 



I am always looking for ways to spice up my salads and this will come in handy!  They also sent me 4 boxes of their yummy cookies! 



They sent me the following flavors:
  • Chocolate Fudge
  • Oatmeal Raisin
  • Chocolate Chip
  • Peanut Butter Oatmeal
These cookies are DELICIOUS!  They are about 100 calories for 4 cookies!  The cookies are pretty small but you don't eat cookies everyday so these will be saved for a special treat every now and then!  Of course I had to sample every flavor immediatley!  My favorite was the Peanut Butter Oatmeal which oddly to me tasted like toffee chips!  They were soooo super yummy!  Go buy some of these for yourself or as a gift for someone else!  Here is the website if you are interested in buying some....http://www.nancyshealthykitchen.com/

The lovely folks at Larabar sent me an unexpected package this weekend!  Inside were 4 of their bars in the following flavors:
  • Tropical Fruit Tart

This bar contains 210 calories with only 3 g of protein and 25 g of carbs with the following ingredients:  dates, pineapple, unsweetened coconut, almonds, extra virgin coconut oil, cashews, orange juice, orange peel
  • Peanut Butter and Jelly

This bar contains 210 calories, 6 g of protein, 27 g of carbs and the following ingredients:  dates, peanuts, unsweetened cherries, salt
  • Cashew Cookie

This bar has 210 calories with 6 grams of protein and 23 grams of carbs and only contain 2 ingredients:  cashews and dates
  • Lemon Bar

This bar contains 210 calories with 6 grams of protein and 25 grams of carbs with only a few ingredients:  dates, cashews, almonds, lemon juice, and natural lemon flavor


I haven't tried any of these flavors except cashew cookie, so I'm anxious to dig into these soon!  I really want to try the tropical fruit tart!  MMMM! I will let you know how they are when I try them!!

See ya'll tomorrow!! WOO HOO no school because of fall break!
