Tonight I went grocery shopping.
I don't do grocery shopping.
When I grocery shop I get chips, salsa and that's about it.
Aaron does the “real” grocery shopping in our family! He plans the meals in our family. He cooks in our family. I know HE IS AMAZING! Well he's not here today, so I had to step up to the plate and do our grocery shopping. I also had two cute little boys with me!
After I got home and unloaded the groceries I called Aaron and told him that I would never ever ask him to take both boys to the grocery store again!
I found two new favorite things today that I want to tell you about.
#1 = Sugar Free brownies – I was very hesitant about these, but thought I'd give it a shot. They are not bad. They are a little “cakey”, but they will still give me that chocolate sweet treat at night after the kids have gone to bed and not all the sugar!
#2 = Santa Barbara Salsa in the flavor of …. Chipotle-Pineapple ….. yummy! I'm loving this tonight with my chips.
So those were my two favorite new finds for today!
Here's what I'm making this week ….
from my friend Rachel

So … what are your favorite new finds at the grocery store? What are you making for dinner this week?
torture!!!
Ok, I love to share this recipe with people. Most of the time people hear it and think, “That doesn’t sound good”, but it REALLY is great! My husband is always asking me to make them. Ok, the recipe, low-fat, high in fiber chocolate brownies. I LOVE them! They are extra fluffy and stay moist.
Here is the recipe:
1 box of chocolate cake mix (doesn’t matter which kind, I usually get the devil’s food cake)
1 can of pumpkin
2 tablespoons of water
mix all of that together (you will need a mixer for this) and then bake it according to the instructions on the box. I have made muffins and cake with this and it is awesome! I hope you try it out and then ENJOY!
