Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust. (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...
LOL! I am the same way about my bananas! Hubby likes them green (ICK!) but mine have to be just right!
ReplyDeleteYummy, that sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI love Oikos Pure Pleasure Caramel on the Bottom 4 oz yogurt sometimes with 1/4 cup of Kashi go Lean Crunch in it. Less than 200 calories and welll...PURE PLEASURE...really!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I am going to have to try that! Love my 'nanas too, just never thought to spread Nutella or almond butter on them, and the pumpkin pie spice--mmmm, fall indeed. Love to make grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches for breakfast. Fav snack right now is almonds and dried cherries together; sometimes I'll add in some Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai Berries or Pomegranate Seeds as well. Shoot, now I'm hungry; must be snack time!
ReplyDeleteI'm on an apple kick right now, can't get enough of them.
ReplyDeleteI like bananas, but I'm totally a member of the green banana club.
My favorite snack EVER is trail mix, but it's currently on my no-no list. I can't restrict myself to just one serving, therefore I'm not allowed to have any at all. Down the road I'll try again.
I think this might become my favorite snack. It looks yummy! Gotta get some almond butter, but already have the bananas and pumpkin pie spice, so gonna pick up the almond butter and try this when I get home tonight! Thanks for the great suggestion!
ReplyDeleteI recently found a trail mix called 'Not Nuts' that doesn't have nuts in it (which SO many do) and is gluten free, so I've been nomming on that lately.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just discovered that Sunbutter exists. Supposedly, it's like a nut butter, but made from sunflower seeds. Now, if only there were a Trader Joe's close...
