I feel like today has been one of those days where everything I eat tastes amazing. Don’t you just love those days??
One major highlight from today, aside from breakfast, would be today’s lunch.
Last night while making dinner, I roasted a big batch of zucchini and yellow squash to have for during the week. Today, I incorporated it into a wrap along with a fresh sliced tomato, a couple slices of turkey bacon, onion, and feta cheese.
It was a bit different from my usual combos, but this thing was right up my alley.
Shortly after lunch, I had a ton of errands I had to take care of…one of which was stopping over at my parents’ house to drop some stuff off to them. While I was there, I happened to notice a beautiful loaf of raisin bread on the counter, so I grabbed a slice.
You can always count on there being good food at mom and dad’s house!
Just take a look at all that icing…
Now that’s my kinda raisin bread.
While I was in the house, I also did a good bad thing and stole a jar of Blizzard Butter from the pantry. Sorry, mom…it was necessary.
Let me explain why…this jar of Blizzard Butter has been in their house for probably almost a year. A YEAR. That is just a travesty, and I could not watch the poor delicious jar of BB sit untouched any longer…so I saved it.
If any of you have ever had Blizzard Butter (aka, the best white chocolate peanut butter EVER) then you probably understand my silly need to talk like such a fool about saving it.
*****
Grocery shopping was also on the to-do list today, which included a quick stop to Target. While I was there, I happened to run across these…
Would you believe it? I first heard about the Candy Corn Oreos about a week ago and have been super curious about them ever since. I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to try ‘em out, but ultimately I decided that I probably wouldn’t like them. I wasn’t really a fan of the candy corn m&m’s last year either, so I left them behind…
And decided to buy a bag of the real thing instead.
And so begins the candy corn consumption of the season. Bring. it. on.
One final new and exciting item I came across today? Chobani Flip!
I’m already in love with their vanilla chocolate chunk flavor, so I picked up a container to try.
I’m thinking that I may have to pop this into the freezer for a few minutes later for a yummy after-dinner treat. Has anyone else tried these out yet?
Alright…I think I’m done sharing all of my food finds and steals for today. Time to go reheat some soup and bread for dinnahhhh!
Question for the Evening:
Have you come across any new and/or exciting food finds lately?
Leslie says
Ohhhhh that Chobani looks good! I hope it shows up at my grocery store soon!!
Molly@This Life Is Sparkling says
That Chobani looks good! And I tried the candy corn M&Ms this weekend at a froyo place, and they were pretty good. I think I may have to try out the Oreos ;)
Laura @ LauraLikesDesign says
Oh my gosh that new Chobani sounds amazing! I’ll need to keep my eyes open for those the next time I go shopping.
Candy corn is a dangerous addiction of mine–I seriously have no self control around that stuff!
Carrie @ Fitness and Frozen Grapes says
I haven’t seen those Chobani Flips yet. You can bet I’ll keep an eye out for them!
Sana says
I guess I am the only one who thinks candy corn is gross?
Courtney says
Bite your tongue, Sana!! ;)
Michelle@Peachy Palate says
Kabocha squash!!! There is one place I know that sells it so I’m in every week now picking it up..also managed to track down pumpkin puree in a jar, no more shipping it in from the U.S!
Rachel says
I’m waiting for that Chobani to come down by me!! :D I’m not really an oreo fan, but I do like my candy corn :) (only a few pieces though haha they can make my stomach hurt after a while lol)
The coolest thing I found lately (that was new to me) was raspberry peanut butter– omgosh, it’s amazing!
Julianna @ Julianna Bananna says
my mom bought my brother and i those candy corn oreos the other day and they are BOMB. i love candy corn but sometimes candy corn flavored things are gross.. but those oreos are definitely worth buying for a treat!
also, that blizzard butter sounds really good!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
I looked for those candy corn oreos at the store this weekend. They weren’t stocked at my local store (yet). I don’t think I”d buy them either though…I wouldn’t like them and my husband looked like he was about to vomit when I told him about them!
Debbie (Accidently Delish) says
you’re loving calling him your husband now aren’t you :)
clare @ fittingitallin says
ahh all the sweet treats look so great! icing on cinnamon raisin bread = genius. Except I’ve never been a candy corn fan…I need someone to try those oreos to get a review though!
Sam says
I love your blog post today! :)
I just got candy corn M&Ms at CVS the other day. Over the summer I had creamsicle Oreos over the summer. I’m going to have to get my hands on the candy corn version!
Courtney says
Let me know what you think of ’em!
(P.S. – hope you’re feeling better!) :)
Less says
I am way too hungry to be looking at all the delicious food that you ate/bought/stole today!!
Lindsay says
The candy corn Oreo’s are on my radar. I need to pick them up soon
Blog is the New Black says
That sandwich looks phenomenal…. and I thought the same thing about the candy corn ores!
Danielle@cleanfoodcreativefitness says
Those chobani flips look awesome! I can’t wait to try them out! I just saw the candy corn oreos on facebook! I love anything candy corn!
Elizabeth says
There’s something like those Chobani Flips in Britain, called Corner Crunches – yogurt and then a topping of some kind. They’re delicious! Lots of fun too, the perfect dessert.
Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife says
Just tried cider jelly & it is delicious! It is literally just apple cider evaporated – it is sooo good! Hard to find but worth it :)
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
I totally would have stolen that BB if it were at my parent’s house too! Sounds delicious! …..Candy corn Oreos— ummmm, that is different. Hm. Wonder what they would be like- I haven’t had an Oreo in YEARS!!!!
kim@hungryhealthygirl says
I’ve been wanting to try that Chobani, but haven’t came across it at any stores near me. Let us know what you think.
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
I haven’t seen those candy corn Oreos yet, but I’ll admit I’m intrigued!
I tried the banana/honey Chobani flip and loved it! I just bought the chocolate raspberry this week, but haven’t tried it yet!
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Ack that Chobani flip sounds so good! Unfortunately, we don’t have those up here in Canada, but I’ll be down in the States in a few days so I’m going to keep my eyes open. You guys are so lucky down there! It takes forever for new and exciting products to make their way up here… you wouldn’t believe how long we had to go without Greek yogurt!
chelcie @ chelcie's food files says
I steal items from my moms pantry all of the time so I don’t blame you! I’m not a candy corn fan (i know what?) but those oreos seem cool!
and that greek yogurt. OMG. I need to go to target asap
pat says
THIEF, THIEF, THIEF…
Andrea @ Barbells and Buttercream says
Ben and Jerry’s Greek Fro Yo. Try the Blueberry Vanilla Graham flavor. YUM! I also had the Raspberry Chocolate Chunk, but did not like it as well. I have yet to try the Banana Peanut Butter and Strawberry Shortcake. Can’t wait!
Colleen G says
White chocolate peanut butter–WHO KNEW?? Where do I find such a thing?
As for the Chocolate Chunk Chiobanui, I have yet to find it.
Courtney says
It’s a local brand, but you can buy them online!
http://www.yopeanut.com
andrea says
There is no chocolate chunk by me I look every week..now I can stalk this one too and hope that some day these new things come to my area.
crystal says
Oh man I was hoping you would get the candy corn oreos and tell us how they were!
Chelsea @ GlitterAndSweat says
I have never heard of white chocolate peanut butter, but now I will defiantly be on the lookk out for it :D
I finally tried COOKIE BUTTER, you can get it at Trader Joes!! Tastes amazing!! just like gingerbread cookies…
Courtney says
Ahhhh…I still need to do something with my Cookie Butter!
Lauren says
I always steel food items from my parent’s pantry when I stop over. Always! :) Just last week I took a bottle of Thai Peanut Sauce and 3 cans of diced tomatoes. They have WAY too much food that they never eat too. :)
And I just had the Banana Honey flavor of the new Cho flip cups. It was delicious!
Regan says
I agree…the candy corn M’M’s …. leave em at the checkout… not good
Emilie says
Wow, we are only just getting normal chobani in Australia and you guys are getting cool flip thingies!
I don’t even know what Candy corn is! (you Americans making me so jealous)
Lindsay @ Fuel My Family says
I have stolen many a jars of nut butter from my mom. Smae thing, she keeps buying it all, eats it for like a week, and lets it sit. Its either i eat it or the trash does!
Sarah B. says
haha I totally stole a jar of peanut butter from my parent’s house yesterday! It was just regular ol’ pb though. I haven’t been getting too excited over the candy corn oreos, but the birthday cake ones? Those I must try!!
Amanda @ Let Me Be What's Underneath says
I love cinnamon bread like that with the icing–mmm! You will have to let us know how the new Chobani treats are! I saw them in the grocery store not too long ago :)
Stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction says
I have not tried these yet, but I will soon! I’m sure they are awesome because anything Chobani is! ;-)
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
That yogurt looks so good!
My mom went on a trip to the US over the weekend and apparently has some foodie finds for me – I’m curious to see what she picked me up!
Suzanne @ Fit Minded Mom says
What?! You didn’t like the candy corn m&m’s?! I tried them for the first time tonight and I am hooked!! However, I am not a huge Oreo fan so I could probably do without those.
I had never heard of Blizzard Butter but it sure does sound good!!
As for Chobani, they just keep getting better and better!! Got to find some of that new stuff…STAT!!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I’ve seen those Candy Corn Oreos all over social media lately but I don’t think I’ll be getting them. I like candy corn but can hardly stomach more than a few pieces at a time (I like it but I think it’s a bit too much sweet for me?-which is crazy by the way) so I’m not sure the oreos would be my thing. But if someone GAVE me one, I’d definitely try it! ;)
Shannon says
I didn’t know there was such a thing as Candy Corn Oreos! I wasn’t really a fan at all of the Birthday Oreos, so I don’t think I’m going to be adventurous and try some. I’m going to stick a bunch of post-it notes in Mom’s purse tomorrow so she gets the message to go to Target on her lunch break and buy me some candy corn for my lunches the remainder of the week.
michelle kim says
These products aren’t new but the combination was just introduced to me recently: Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins with Laughing Cow Swiss wedge. OMG, so good!!!
Kelsey @ Crappy Kid Art says
Those oreos should be illegal. Ugh!
Khushboo says
I hate candy corn…can we still be friends? :)
Courtney says
I suppooooooose ;)
bethany says
I have yet to try the Chobani flip (although I’ll be keeping my eye out!) but I have had a similar product put out by Fage, which is my go to for greek yogurt. The Chobani seems to have more fun and innovative flavors though. Also, candy corn gets me all riled up for fall! SO excited!
Miz says
WAAAAH I LOVE THE CORN OF THE CANDY :-)
it’s that time already?!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
If I saw that sitting in my parents’ pantry for a year I would have taken it too. heck. I would have taken it the first time I saw it.
peter saw those oreos and thought he had to keep me from seeing them when we were at the store, but really they don’t appeal at all. He should have worried more about keeping me from the REAL thing. So much better. ;)
Courtney says
Agreed…gimme the double stuffed! (especially the orange Halloween ones now!) ;)
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
The candy corn Oreos are amazing!!! They are so good. My husband is an Oreo fanatic and he even likes them! :) I bought him the Chobani flip and he really liked it. Now I want to try it.
Megan@funsizedfitness says
I just came across two new (well, new for me!) salad dressings that are SO good: Newman’s Own Lite Cranberry Walnut and Newman’s Own Lite Honey Mustard. They’re all natural, donate proceeds to charity, and are super tasty (win, win win!).
Courtney says
Newman’s Own is one of my favorite brands! They also have a great lite balsamic too :)
Meghan @ After the Ivy League says
Love the combo in that wrap, I have a zucchini at home just waiting to be roasted! Candy corn oreos sound gross to me…but if someone puts one in front of me, I’d probably try it! Haven’t seen that Chobani flip yet but now I’ll keep my eye out for it!
Debbie (Accidently Delish) says
ah that blizzard butter looks amazing! i have never even seen or heard of it!
and i have yet to find those Chobani flips, I’m dying to try them! Let us know what you think!
Have a great week love <3
Brittany says
Candy Corn Oreos!!! Seriously I am so jealous sometimes that we don’t get these fun food mix-ups in Canada! The Chobani Flips are amazing though, it is nice to be able to regulate how much sweetness you want to add to your yogurt.
Becka @ simplybecka says
I shall have to look for that yummy Chobani yogurt! Looks good. I love Chobani greek yogurt, one of my favs. Is it exciting if I found Turkey Jerky from Jack Links at my local Target awhile back. I am not a huge fan of beef jerky but the turkey is great for a little protein low fat pick me up in the afternoon. Have a great day. ^_^
Ashley @ Sweat for Sweets says
Umm this post has me drooling. No fair! Hahah that candy corn oreo looks a littllllle nasty, but I’d be curious too ;)
Laura says
I am also quite intrigued by the new Oreos. I am obsessssssssed with candy corn, so am thinking I may love them!
I’m confused…why is that yogurt called ‘flipped’?
Bek @ Crave says
Chobani has finally found it’s way to stores near me in Australia and I’ve been eating it way too much! I love it!
