Secret Sauce

by DanicasDaily on August 10, 2010

While I was at Target the other day, I happened to see that Starbuck’s had a new line of coffees out ~ Vanilla, Caramel and Cinnamon.

I LOVE cinnamon in my coffee and often sprinkle it on top.

Starbuck's Cinnamon Coffee

I LOVE Starbuck’s coffee so I couldn’t resist picking up a bag.

The VERDICT ~ You CAN’T taste the cinnamon at all :(   In fact, I normally enjoy my coffee black but it needed a little bit of The Husband’s FF Vanilla 1/2 & 1/2 to make it taste ok :( Bummer….I had such high hopes……

Vanilla Cinnamon Coffee

Breakfast started off with a little Crunchy Nut Barn Almond goodness on top of a Double Fiber Orowheat English Muffin (4 pts).

Nut Barn Almond Butter

Plus some of our 22 lb watermelon :D (1 1/3 c = 1 pt)

Since we only have a little over a week before we head out on vacation, I am trying to use what we have on hand.  This is my all time FAVORITE WW meal.

Weight Watcher's Thai Style chicken & Rice Noodles

I don’t eat too many of the WW frozen meals but there is something about spicy peanut sauce with rice noodles and chicken that I just CRAVE ( 5 pts)

Chicken Peanut Pad Thai

Big Salad with Newman’s Light Lime (2 pts).

Dessert ~ 3 pieces of the BEST ChocoLOVE Around ~ I LOVE that they use WHOLE almonds and you can taste everything in layers as you eat it ~ the creamy dark chocolate, the crunchy roasted almonds with hints of sea salt.

I snacked on some3 point Bunnies….these little packets are the only way I don’t eat the entire box in one sitting :)

Annie's Cheddar Bunnies

When I got home The Husband was in the process of whipping up his “secret sauce”.  I LOVE when he wants to help me make dinner – it’s so funny, he puts on a “Iron Chef” hat and get down to business.

I asked him to get out some BBQ sauce for the ribs we were making and he used “dashes and splashes” of all of these :D

"Secret Sauce"

I have to admit, he does a pretty darn good job….then, again, it always tastes better when someone else is cooking for you ;) (2 pts)

Boneless BBQ Pork Ribs

Sweet Tater Home Fries

Sweet Potato Fries with Sea Salt

We have tons of corn on the cob from my sister’s garden ~ I NEED to grow some in my garden box because WOW – it’s so much better fresh like that :D (1 pt)

Corn on the Cobb

The only thing I had to cook was the “fries” and The Husband did the rest :D   He said I could whip up dinners like this anytime…..I wonder how I can convince him to “cook” like this more ;)

Rushing out the door again!  I need to get back to my nighttime posting!

Get ready for a pretty cool Giveaway coming up later today!

Happy Tuesday all!

Whenever my husband [still so weird to say!] cooks for me, it is sooooo good- but he hardly ever does! It would be nice if he did more often, food always tastes better when it is cooked for you, it’s a fact ;)

Thanks for letting me know about that flavored Starbucks because I was curious about it and was thinking of buying it… now I know not to… The most powerful flavored coffee I have EVER had… I ordered from: nutsonline.com! I promise, if you’re looking for a replacement for strawberry shortcakes or blueberry pies… DRINK THIS COFFEE! ha ha! It’s awesome!

I’ve been keeping up to date with your site, but just don’t always have time to comment (sorry). Just thought I’d say hello again so you know I’m here!
