Favorite Things

 Andrea and I are at it again!!  We got a new look.  What do you think??  (Andrea is the BEST!)  Usually the last Monday of the month, we host a “Favorite Things Party”.  We encourage everyone to blog a favorite thing (or ten) under $10 and link up to join us.  

It’s a new year and we decided to try something NEW!!!  Today we’re sharing a few favorite things.  We’d love for you to join us!  We gave you NO warning, so if you want to blog it later this week and link up that’s great!   Blog one or more of your favorite things and link-up.  Easy!!  We thought we’d change it up the rest of the year and have themes for our favorites…

This never happens, but today I have a theme for my favorites!!  Just like the rest of America we’re trying to make better choices and eat healthy.  I didn’t set any crazy unrealistic goals, but so far this has been pretty easy.  I’m making more protein/veggie meals and just overall making healthier choices.  We’re all still alive, so that must be a good sign, right??  I think the hardest part is snacks!  Let me be really honest and say the perfect snack to me is chips and salsa!  But…that needs to be a special treat not my daily snack.  So today I’m sharing some of my favorite healthy snacks…(and I hope you’ll share yours!)
Skinny Pop Black Pepper Popcorn
I’m a sucker for a delicious salty snack (remember my dream snack is chips and salsa??).  The black pepper is delicious on this and adds the perfect amount of flavor.  And…39 calories per cup!

Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt
My very favorite flavor is the Toasted Coconut.  It’s a healthy way to trick myself into thinking I’m having dessert.  ðŸ™‚

Mio Liquid Water Enhancer
I drink an “okay” amount of water, but if I’m using this, I can put some water away.  I’ll usually have two glasses of water and then a glass of “lemonade”.  I make my self see the lemonade as a reward.  ðŸ™‚  My kiddos drink a lot of water if I put a little splash of this in as well.

Hillshire Grilled Chicken Bites
I saw these just last week at the store and grabbed one to try.  I’m super picky about precooked chicken, but I actually thought this was all pretty good.  Has anyone else tried this?

The queso loving side of me would prefer to have a creamy dressing on each and every salad, but the realistic side knows that isn’t the best idea.  Balsamic vinegar has been my friend!  I’m a huge fan of this on any salad.  Tab’s loving it too!

Please share with me your favorite healthy snacks!!  What’s your go-to snack?

And…link up with us!  We love reading all about your favorites!  Happy Monday! XOXO

Emily and I are hosting a Bucket List link-up on Wednesday!  Blog about your goals or bucket list for February or the new year and join us!
