Applegate Farms Natural Chicken Nuggets

Remember when I found this lovely package at my doorstep? Well, it was from Applegate Farms. They sent me their new Natural Chicken Nuggets to review!

10/10!

These nuggets were perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside! JUST THE WAY I LIKE 'EM! They were delicious!

Check out the awesome nutritional stats on their website!

I decided to mix them into my Mac & Cheese for a yummy combo!

What is YOUR favorite way to eat chicken nuggets?

PB & J Yogurt

PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY YOGURT!

In the mix:
Peanut Butter Cheerios
Strawberry Chobani Yogurt


This is by far the best yogurt combo I have ever eaten!
It tastes just like a PB&J, but in a totally different form.

YUM.

If you haven't tried this yet, please do it. You can thank me later.

That is all.

In student teaching news...

My mentor teacher and I both wore brown pants on Tuesday and these outfits on Wednesday:

TOTALLY UNPLANNED!
haha
I guess great minds think alike!
:)
I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful mentor teacher. She is awesome!


I have a little video I wanted to share with you.

BTW, my city JUST got a Publix and I went today! It was pretty cool. I LOVE PUBLIX. We always go there whenever we go on vacation in Florida, but now I get to enjoy it ANYTIME!
whoop whoop!!!


What is YOUR favorite place to grocery shop?

Ham & Cheese Stuffed French Toast

I found this recipe in Hungry Girl 1-2-3 cookbook!

Ingredients:
1/3 cup liquid egg substitute
Cinnamon
2 slices of bread
Cream Cheese
1 slice of American Cheese
2 slices of ham

Directions:
Combine egg substitute & cinnamon on a small plate and set aside.
Spread Cream Cheese on both slices of bread.
Place ham & slice of American Cheese on one piece of bread.
Place other slice of bread on top with cream cheese side down.
Spray skillet with non-stick spray and put on medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, coat both sides of sandwich with egg substitute/cinnamon mixture.
Place sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side.
(I had to put mine in microwave for 10 seconds afterwards because my bread was burning, but the cheese didn't melt on the skillet)

ENJOY!

Hey, I've been doing pretty good with my one-new-recipe-a-month goal!

Canyon Bakehouse Review

Canyon Bakehouse was kind enough to send me some products to review!

Here's some info from their website:
Why Canyon?
At Canyon Bakehouse, we believe making healthy choices shouldn’t mean compromising on the quality of the foods we love. More and more people are deciding to go “gluten free.” For people with celiac disease, avoiding gluten is a medical necessity. For others, it is simply a choice for their health and well-being. Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free breads have been specifically created to bring back the joy of real bread to those following a gluten-free diet. Canyon is passionately determined to produce delicious fresh breads that taste as good as regular breads. You can enjoy it fresh out of the bag! It doesn’t crumble when you try to slice it. It makes great sandwiches and you can use it in any recipe, just as you would ordinary bread. We think you’ll find Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread has all the texture and taste of normal bread!

********************************************************************************

Now, onto my review!

I immediately dug into these muffins as soon as I opened the box. I'm so glad I did!

Cranberry Canyon Crunch Muffins: 10/10! These muffins were unlike any other muffins that I have ever tasted. They were super soft and moist, but also had a crunch factor! The poppyseeds made this muffin unique! I LOVED the texture! The cranberries gave it a sweet taste, but it was also hearty as well. One muffin kept me full for quite a while! (I usually get hungry soon after I eat a muffin because it doesn't fill me up, but these did!) YUM!

Next up, I tried the San Juan 7 Grain Bread. 9/10! I enjoyed two slices with butter and jam. This bread smelled really good! haha I also thought the taste was good. I liked the texture!

I also used this bread for a new recipe, Ham&Cheese Stuffed French Toast. (I'll post that recipe later) It was really good! The bread held up nicely!
:)

Finally, I tried the Rosemary & Thyme Focaccia. 9/10! The taste was incredible! I enjoyed this along side some grilled chicken and a sweet potato! MMM!

The Weekly Wrap Up

This has been such a crazy busy week! I love being busy. It's much more fun than being bored!

Here's a brief summary of what went down...

I have missed my second family like crazy these past 3 weeks. I haven't been able to go to their house because of student teaching. I got an email from Mrs. Sue Ellen that said Myrtle couldn't handle not seeing me cold turkey. She asked if I could spare some time to have a lunch date with Myrtle and of course I said YES! I was so excited to see them! But, little did I know that Myrtle would be even more excited to see me. She ran up to me and gave me a huge hug. She would not let me go. Then, she showed me her shirt. She made it herself. It said Kelsey is the best! Then all around it had words that described me. (Funny, kind, nice, awesome, etc...) HOW STINKIN SWEET IS SHE?!?!? I almost cried it was so sweet.

I got my oil changed and noticed the date right away...
MAY 4, 2012.
aka
MY GRADUATION DATE!!!!!!!
I'm sooooo stinkin excited!!!!
:)

I worked for 5 hours straight yesterday working on that dreaded TPA. and you know what? It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be!!! I am super happy that I got it done because now I have an ENTIRE month to look over it and edit anything before it is due!!
:)
WHAT A RELIEF!!!
Check out that hot mess I made within those 5 hours... haha

Now, it's time to boycott the Super Bowl and watch some GLEEEEEEEEE!!!

Has anything exciting happened to you lately?

ZYM Review

Zym was kind enough to send me two flavors of their drink to try and review.

Here's some info from their website:

WHAT IS ZYM?
ZYM is the fuel that hydrates elite athletes during competitions - without the sugar. Put ZYM to work and feel a difference in increased performance.
ZYM is a small tablet that dissolves in water for on-the-go hydration. It's portable, so it goes wherever you go. The tablets are formulated for 16-20 oz. of water. Each tube of ZYM contains 10 tablets.

Now, for my review:

Lemon Lime: 8/10. This flavor was a little tangy at first, but after a few sips, it tasted great! I love these stats:
Calories: 7
Carbs: 1g
Sugars 1g

Sodium: 250mg
Potassium: 50mg
Magnesium: 50mg
Calcium: 30mg

Vitamin C: 100mg
Vitamin B5: 5mg
Vitamin B6: 8mg
Vitamin B12:40mcg

Berry: 9/10! I liked this flavor a lot better. This one had a caffeine hit included, which I liked because it helped pump me up for my super EARLY MORNING WORKOUTS! Lovin these stats too:
Calories: 4
Carbs: 0g
Sugars 0g

Sodium: 250mg
Potassium: 100mg
Magnesium: 17mg
Calcium: 18mg

Vitamin C: 100mg
Vitamin B12:500mcg
Guaraná 200mg
Caffeine 100mg

These were super convenient to carry around. All you have to do is drop a tablet into your water and BOOM! you get a yummy sports drink! How awesome is that!?!?

Please check out their website and try some for yourself!
