7 Quick Takes {9}

Alright people, let's do this!

Linking up with Jen at Conversion Diary.

1. I'm finally doing a garage sale this weekend! I'm joining up with one of my aunts and cousins at their house so it should be lots of fun. If you don't hear from me next week it's because I made millions selling my junk and I have moved to an island in the Caribbean. I think I've made 7 bucks so far so there's a good chance I'll be living by the ocean come Monday.

2. While I'm slaving away at the sweaty garage sale my husband is gone for the weekend at Lake of the Ozarks for a bachelor party. I must say I'm a little jealous he gets to hang out on the water. Good thing our cruise is booked so I have something to look forward too.

3. Since Seth was actually home last night I made dinner (where's my award?). Aka: nachos. I must say that they were freakin' amazing and I love being able to use some of the produce from our own garden. I like to think that makes my nachos "healthy."

See, healthy!

4. I have approximately 12 different future blog posts that I have started and saved in my "save as draft" email folder at work. Whenever I have downtime with nothing to do but wait on other people, I write stuff down so I don't forget. My memory isn't the best. I'm pretty sure my life now revolves around the thought, "oh, I can so blog about this!"

5. I'm pretty sure nine out of ten people I know are either getting married or having a baby sometime in the next year. It's like an epidemic. I'm just over here like, "Hey I'm married, I never see my husband, so it's hard to make babies, but have you met my dog, or seen this really cool craft project I made?" 

6. My refrigerator is so embarrassing right now. I have always sworn I would never be one of those people with a messy refrigerator but that is exactly what is going on in my house right now. I partially blame my obsession with condiments...who has so many condiments that they can't all fit in the door? This girl apparently. You name a condiment and I would just about guarantee it's in my fridge. On a brighter note my tupperware cabinet is beautifully organized and has been that way since I moved in. I don't think many people can say that, can they?! I hate unorganized tupperware and not being able to find a lid.  Ain't nobody got time for that!

7. Honey Boo Boo returned this past Wednesday night much to my excitement! Let's just say as gross and disgusting as it was last season it was worse this season. Like, I almost didn't want to watch it for fear of puking, gross-ness. Picking up a roadkill pig and then cooking the hoofs to eat with beans...who does that? And Mama June and Sugar Bear getting all "romantic?" Please hand me a puke bag. 

Have you ever seen anything more terrifying? via

Snack Attack!

I'm what you might call a snackoholic. I love snacks and I like to think I'm pretty good at them. Not sure what being "good at snacks" really means, but if it meant something I think I would be doing alright. 

Here's a rundown of some of my favorite snacks right now.

Apples 

I love eating apples in multiple different ways. 

1. Apples and cinnamon sugar
• To make you just cut the apple into little bite size pieces and sprinkling a little bit of sugar and a lot of cinnamon on them. Toss and eat. I'm pretty sure you could even leave the sugar out but it kinda tricks my mind into thinking I'm eating apple pie:)
2. Apples and peanut butter
• This doesn't need much of an explanation. Just slice up apples and dip into peanut butter. Creamy or crunchy, tastes great either way. 
3. Plain apples
• Apparently this is also good at helping to clean and whiten your teeth. Bonus!

Craisins 

If you haven't had these you should. They are basically like raisins only they are dried cranberries. I love to snack on these plain or mix them in with my cheerios. I was also thinking they might not be too bad if I stuck some on top of my apples and peanut butter. I'll have to try it!

There are several different kinds of Craisins that are infused with different kinds of juice including pomegranate, blueberry, cherry and more. So far I love all the kinds I have tried.

Hummus

Yum! I'm currently working my way through a giant Costco sized tub of the Sabra Pine Nut Hummus. I've yet to meet a hummus I didn't like. 

I've found that there are several ways to enjoy hummus including with carrots or little grape tomatoes. I like to make up little containers of single servings of carrots and tomatoes with a smaller container to keep a serving of hummus in. These are easy to grab and throw in my lunch or snack on after work so I don't reach for a bag of Cheetos (yum!) or something crazy like that. Hummus is also mighty delish with a handful of Triscuits if you happen to have those on hand. 

I haven't tried it yet but I bet it would be pretty tasty to spread a layer of hummus on a sandwich in place of mayo. 

Well, there's a rundown of several of my favorite snacks. I've been trying to eat a little healthier lately and while I'm sure these aren't the healthiest snacks in the world they've gotta be better for me than brownies or chips and french onion dip:)
