Well, we did end up playing our softball game last night, but I still got to hang out with the birthday girl!
After the game was over (our first loss of the season, boo), some of the team and the fam hung out at the field for a bit…gosh, they sure are goofballs. 
Before leaving for the game I needed to fuel up with something quick for dinner, so I whipped up a quick sandwich.
A few slices of buffalo chicken deli meat, lettuce, tomato, avocado(!), and honey mustard on whole wheat bread.
The sandwich did a great job of holding me over throughout the game, but by the time I got home, I was ready for a little dessert.
I ended up caving in to a sale on Ben & Jerry’s pints this week and bought a flavor I’ve had my eye on for forever now: Cinnamon Buns.
YOU GUYS…have you tried this stuff?
Caramel ice cream with cinnamon bun dough & a cinnamon streusel swirl…aka, it’s unbelievable. I think it’s a good thing they only sell these things in pints. Just sayin’.

This morning I have a shift at the gym with a small break so I’m planning on stopping over for my usual Tuesday breakfast at Starbucks. This time, however, I won’t be hiding in the corner eating my breakfast out of a peanut butter jar.

Question for the Morning:
Your favorite ice cream flavors – let’s hear ‘em!
My favorite Ben & Jerry’s are Chunky Monkey and Phish Food, but that sounds pretty fantastic!
I would have to say cake batter ice cream is my absolute favorite :)
but i really don’t think you can go wrong with any icecream choice!
I totally agree :)
Cinnamon buns? Must try this! I love that it is Ben & Jerry’s which means that the ingredients are fair trade! Yay!
My new favourite flavour is maple syrup. Oh. My. Word. It is delicious. Locally made in Quebec which is home to some of the best sugar shacks.
And now I want some.
Just found your blog and I am loving it! It’s so cute and I love the whole concept ! I am your newest blog and twitter follower! And for the record, OMG I actually just want to faint with excitement that B&J has come up with such an amazing flavour! Sounds fantastic! Alas, B&J isn’t that big here in South Africa…but when I am travelling again I will be sure to look out for it! I love Strawberry Shortcake by Haagen-Dazs!

Favorite ice cream flavor is coffee, but that cinnamon bun ice cream might come in second if I manage to give it a try!!
I love coffee ice cream! One of my favorite local places makes their own coffee oreo ice cream and it is to die for!
Hope your mom had a great birthday!
I would have to say Ben & Jerry’s Everything But The.. is my favorite :)

It’s too bad that B&J isn’t that big here in South Africa but when I am travelling again I will def keep an eye out for it! I love Strawberry Shortcake by Haagen-Dazs though! :)

Hey Renee! Welcome to the blog! So glad to have you reading :)
Cinnamon Buns is the first flavor of Ben & Jerry’s I ever tried. So, so good. If only treats like that were as healthy as a bowl of spinach, right?!
My top three favorite ice cream flavors are pumpkin, cake batter, and cookies & cream!
Haha, if only… ;)
That’s my fav Ben & Jerry’s flavor! Way to represent!
OMG that Cinnamon Buns ice cream is my vice!!! I LOVE it so much. I can’t have it in the house because I can suck down a pint of that stuff in no time! Butttt now that you got me thinking about it i may have to stop by the grocery store…
My all-time favorite is mint chocolate chip but I also love Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked!
Oh wow that ice cream flavor sounds to die for! My favortie will always be B & J Choc Chip Cookie Dough followed closely by Cookies ‘N’ Cream…gah who am I kidding, I am a sucker for almost all ice cream flavors!
Hahaha, I hear ya girl!
Icecream has become my go to treat. I can’t get enough of it.
I’m not a huge caramel fan but that does sound delicious! My favorites are cake batter and chocolate brownie chunk! Oh and cheesecake always gets me too :)
Holy moly, cinnamon buns ice cream sounds de-FREAKIN-licious! I don’t know how the combination of my favorite pastry with ice cream couldn’t be good!?
My favorite ice cream would have to be cheesecake with strawberries. The not-so-sweetness of the cheesecake paired with the semi-sweet, tart strawberries makes for the perfect combination :)
I love ben and jerry’s Oatmeal Cookie Chunk! I was visting Boston last week and went to JP Licks and tried Peanut Butter Oreo and that may be my favorite flavor!
OMG, I only had JP Licks once while visiting in Maine, but it was AMAZING!
Ben & Jerry’s “Everything But The….” It’s Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Creams with HEATH Bar Chunks, White Chocolatey Chunks, Peanut Butter Cups & Chocolatey-Covered Almonds. SO. GOOD!
Usually mint chocolate chip, or anything with peanut butter, but that Ben & Jerry’s sounds awesome, can you believe it I have never had Ben & Jerry’s ice cream?! That might have to change this summer!
oh wow, i’ve never even seen that flavor of ben & jerry’s, but it sure does sound amazing! i LOVE their chocolate chip cookie dough. i know it’s pretty traditional, but i can’t get over the huge chunks of cookie dough in there.
That one is also currently sitting in our freezer… ;)
The fact that you had on a sweeatshirt last night makes me insanely jealous! Its like a billion degrees here…ok more like 105 but still! Enjoy! :)
It was chilly last night!!
Either cake batter or cookie dough!
I’m definitely a mint chocolate chip or a coffee flavor girl but that cinnamon bun flavor looks to die for!
Loved the interview on Skinny Mom! I felt like you were divulging a little secret for the future. :) Can’t wait for that to happen!
Chubby Hubby all the way. I’ve actually banned myself from buying it, because two times in a row now I’ve finished the pint in one day. As much as I like to let myself splurge now and then, entire pints of ice cream seems a bit excessive! lol
So after I read this post, I checked the Price Chopper flier online to get the scoop (haha) on the Ben and Jerry’s sale! Is this weird?!? lol.. I’ll be stopping by there on my way home from work since I have been craving REAL ice cream for weeks!
Hahaha, totally not weird. More like awesome :)
Such a cute photo of you and your mom!
Ben & Jerry’s is downright dangerous!!! I have never met a flavor I do not love. During the holiday season they make a carrot cake flavored one and let me tell ya, there is NOTHING better than that!! I will embarrassingly admit to eating an entire pint by myself…..in one day!!
That sounds insanely delicious!
how fun! i love avocado on my sammies too!
i love ben and jerrys late night snack with chocolate covered potato chip pieces and caramel swirl in it! but that cinnamon bun flavor sounds amazing!
I’ve had my eye on that cinnamon buns flavor, but I haven’t broke down to buy it quite yet. That will soon change;)
I haven’t tried that flavor yet, but I have never met a Ben & Jerry’s I didn’t like!
I have tried that Cinnamon Roll ice cream and it’s SO GOOD! It all depends on the brand of ice cream, It’s so hard for me to pick a favorite flavor. Right now I’m craving dark chocolate thin mint ice cream!
Ummmm, the “cinnamon buns” flavor is life-changing ;) I tried it awhile back and was amazed! The best part about B n J’s is the “chunks” which I always enjoy in ice cream!
I have to say Edy’s Apple Pie ice cream that comes out in the fall. It’s vanilla spice ice cream with apple pie filling and apple pie crust swirled throughout. YUM! :)
Oh yes, I’ve tried it. I’ve tried practically every Ben and Jerry’s flavor, and I love pretty much all of them! ;) Red Velvet Cake is also delicious!
I steer clear of Ben and Jerry’s (although I heard they have a Greek line one) and usually stick to lower fat ice creams. The blue bunny line is fabulous. I have a flavor called Wedding Cake in my freezer that I can’t wait to try.
You are so right about the cinnamon buns flavor! It’s awesome. I’ve only had it once and that was a couple years ago aka WAY TOO LONG OF A TIME!!
most of the time I keep it simple with mint chocolate chip!
Ohhhhhh my goodness. I need to find myself a pint of that ice cream as soon as possible. Normally I’m a big fan of as much chocolate-y goodness in my ice cream as can be put in, but this looks like a definite exception I should make ;)
OMG obsessed w/ that ice cream flavor! It’s definitely one of my top 3 favorites…sadly I can neverrrr find it in my grocery stores!
My favorite is good old cookies ‘n cream, but I also love chocolate. And anything with snickers mixed in :-)
Man, that kids smile is something, I’ll tell ya. Looks great
It is somethin…I don’t know of great is the word though. ;-)
Anything with peanut butter and chocolate – Tillamook’s (local dairy in Oregon) peanut butter & chocolate usually takes the stop spot (espeically because my husband insists that we support local) but I’m also partial to Dryer’s Butterfinger and B&J’s Chubby Hubby.
Pralines and Cream Haagen Dazs is dreamy. B&J’s flavour choice is pretty limited here :-( (Ireland). I would love to get my hands on some Cinnamon buns! Baked Alaska and Karamel Sutra are my current faves.
omg. i’m trying to stay away from sweets but now i feel compelled to go get that Ben and jerrys!
omg that ice cream looks incredible – I’ve got to get my hands on some! :)
