Easy Appetizer & Fiber Plus Cereal

Hello out there! How are you? How has the weekend been? The end of this week was totally hectic for me work-wise and the begging of next week plans to be much the same. The good news is that I will have a week off due to large amount of overtime I’ve been rocking and I am planning a nice staycation starting Wednesday of this upcoming week!

I did want to share with you a new product I tried out courtesy of Food Buzz and Kellogg's (disclaimer: I received this product for free), Fiber Plus Antioxidants Cinnamon Oat Crunch:

Lindsay and I had a talk about how yummy this cereal is and how much it reminds us of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I mostly enjoyed it mixed into protein shakes:

I don’t usually eat too much cereal as a lot of it is seriously over processed. My other issue with this cereal in particular is that sugar is the second ingredient (which is probably why it tastes so much like Cinnamon Toast Crunch ;)).  Yikes- but as Cookie Monster says, this cereal is a sometimes food.

Tonight, we headed up to my parents for dinner since my sister is in town. I brought along a very easy appetizer of cheese, TJs sesame covered cashews, Nature’s Promise Organic Crackers (Sunflower Basil and Poppy Thyme), South Carolina peaches & strawberries and hummus:

Fantastic! The crew had Steak for dinner:

We also celebrated my sister’s birthday early with some lactose free carrot cake from the Pawley’s Island Bakery (best bakery in the Pawley’s Island/Myrtle Beach area). I split a slice with the man:

Deliciousness! VERY light icing and the cake was super moist (I hate that word).  Me & The man:

What are you up to Sunday? We are headed into Charleston for lunch/brunch with my Parents & Sister, Brother in-law and niece. Other than that. I want to relaxxxxxx and prepare for two days of craziness before staycation time.
