Happy Friday friends! Did anyone else feel like this was the longest week ever? I sure did. I am really looking forward to the weekend.
All of my faves this week are inadvertently food related. Oh well...who doesn't like like finding out about new food products?!
* Back to Nature Sweet Potato Cinnamon Crackers. A little sweet and a little salty...yummmm. I don't think these are widely available yet, but we found ours at Whole Foods.
* Heirloom tomatoes...I just love the variety of colors when you slice a few of these up on a plate. If you are in B'ham, you probably know about the amazing heirloom tomato salad at Hot and Hot. The little cafe at Whole Foods also has a yummy one. Or try this at home.
* The new Starbucks Via Refreshers...naturally flavored green tea with a little caffeine. Just dump the packet into a bottle of water, or mix into a big glass of water and add ice. I like fixing one of these in the afternoon for a little energy boost. Obviously you can also go to an actual Starbucks and order one.
* Amy's Sonoma Veggie Burger...my new favorite frozen burger (sorry Boca). These are so tasty! I love to pile mine high with sliced tomato, avocado, lettuce and pickles. Add a side of sweet potato fries, and I've got one of my most favorite go-to meals.
* Finding studies that confirm what I already assumed about the benefit(?) of eating sweets first thing in the morning. Heard about this? Read here. I always eaten something sweet as soon as I get up in the morning. This is mainly because I crave sweets right when I wake up, but also because I've always figured if I'm going to eat something naughty, might as well do it first thing so I have all day to work it off! Turns out this habit also helps you to curb cravings later in the day. (Side note: I don't think this means you should down half a cheesecake or anything. Maybe just a couple bites...)
That's all I got!
