Discoveries...

So...I've made a few discoveries over the past few days, and thought I'd share.

1) These are awesome ...Pumpkin Pecan Fruit & Grain Bars by Kashi.  (The Dark Chocolate Coconut are also very good.)  My sister informed me that if pumpkin were a person, I'd be a stalker.  I found this hilarious and mildly disturbing at the same time.  But yes, my pumpkin obsession continues.  These are really good....you get the flavor of pumpkin pie, but the consistency of a granola bar. (I have texture issues, and don't like the 'mushiness' of pumpkin pie!)

2)

EGG-FREE Waffles!!!  If you have a child with allergies, you know how hard it is to find 'convenience' foods at a reasonable price.  Yes, I can make homemade egg-free waffles, but I don't always have the time to make everything from scratch.  Sometimes, it's nice just to pull something out of the fridge or freezer and have something ready in just a few minutes.  My mom told me abt these, and I found them at Harris Teeter.  They are egg & diary free and did not cost a small fortune.  Score!  Thanks Van's!!! (and mom!)

3)  Apparently, I need a lot of instruction to use this...

Because my cake looked like this.... 

You can read my post abt the birthday cake drama here, when I guest posted at Sweet Treats by Jesseca.

4) I may be a foodie.  How did I discover this?   Last night my husband and I had a "date"!  We actually went out to dinner with another couple...with NO kids in tow!!!!  We went to The Melting Pot.  It's a fondue restaurant and was lots of fun.  However, it is also right beside a TRADER JOE'S!!!  I was super excited about this.  So after dinner, I suggested we run on over and check it out.  I got some blank stares (and an eyeroll from the hubs I think).  My friend asks "what's Trader Joe's?"  So I begin explaining the awesomeness of this grocery store.  Which is greeted with more stares.  Like I had grown two-heads type stares.  Apparently, grocery stores don't excite everyone.  If I had any cool points...I'm pretty sure I lost them.  Whatever!?!  How can you NOT get excited about a good grocery store?!  Hence, the conclusion, I may be a foodie.  and I'm okay with that.

So....those are my little discoveries.  The highlight of everyone's weekend I'm sure. 
5) I'm mildly sarcastic.  hahahaha...that's nothing new.  That was discovered back when I was like, 3 - maybe 4, years old.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.  I should probably get out of my PJ's...considering it's noon.

And since I'm posting on a Saturday, I thought I'd do a little Saturday hoppin'....
