2 FUN, New Announcements!!

June 2, 2010 by DanicasDaily 11 Comments

Happy Hump Day all!! I am SO EXCITED that I managed to get one of my FAVORITE FARMER’S MARKET Vendor’s products in My Danica’s Daily Shop!  You always hear me rave about The Nut Barn Crunchy Almond Butter and I honestly believe it IS the BEST almond butter on the market! 

I have partnered with The Nut Barn and Open Sky to have four fun bundles added to my shop!  Each bundle includes a jar of their delicious Crunchy Almond Butter and FOUR packages of specialty nuts. 

This is something I buy at every Farmer’s Market I go to (even when we are in Tahoe!) and I can tell you that everything is amazing…….

BUNDLES!!!!! The pictures/words over at Open Sky are being worked on, but, here is what each bundle includes…if you have any questions at all, just let me know.

The Nut Barn – Danica’s Daily Nutty Favorites ~ Butter Toffee Almonds, Roasted/Salted Cashews, Hickory Smoked Almonds, Raw Almonds + Crunchy Almond Butter

The Nut Barn – For a Nutty Sweet Tooth ~ Honey Roasted Cashews, Cinnamon Honey Almonds, Mocha Almonds, Orange Honey Almonds+Creamy Almond Butter

The Nut Barn – For the Nutty Adventurer ~ Roasted/Salted Pistachios, Roasted Salted Cashews, Roasted/Salted Almonds, Butter Toffee Almonds+Crunchy Almond Butter

The Nut Barn – The Nutty Sampler ~ Tamari Almonds, Wasabi Almonds, Tequilla Lime Almonds, Onion Garlic Almonds+Creamy Almond Butter

I LOVE it when everything comes together and I can share something with you all that I am so passionate about.   I celebrated this morning by having 2 slices of TJ’s FF Multi-Grain Bread with toasty, crunchy Nut Barn Almond Butter and Pomegranate Blueberry Jam (4.5 pts).

Plus more banana-berry goodness (1.5pts).

Pre-Spin Class I snacked on a Lemon Poppy Seed Lighter Living Bar.

IMG_4912IMG_4914

Less calories than the apricot, but, still just 2 points!

IMG_4915

I think I was expecting to see a yellow bar with poppy seeds LOL.  This flavor is just like a yogurt covered lemon lara bar ~ it’s tasty, but, apricot coconut still has my heart.

As I was working along, I had a fun package delivered on my desk!

Annie’s Naturals has come out with PASTA SALAD KITS!!!

IMG_4919

They take the delicious Annie’s Organic Pasta and the FRESH Annie’s Naturals Salad dressings (not dried packets) to create these super fun kits.

IMG_4920

The best part is that they are pretty cheap!  You can get a 6-pack at Costco for only $6.99 and Target will be selling single boxes. Fun!

IMG_4921

After all that excitement I was off to Spin Class ~ it kicked my bootie, but, felt great.  I dreamt up lunch as I was pedaling away.

It started off with my favorite farmer’s market chile lime tortilla topped with Spicy Chipotle Black Bean Harissa Hummus.

IMG_4922

Then, I added a BBQ Turkey Burger with some Low-Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese.  (6 pts).

IMG_4925

Side Salad with Now Spicy Cajun Sticks & TJ’s LF Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette ~ I am IN LOVE with these HOT sticks! (2 pts)

IMG_4927IMG_4932

Along with the pasta salad kit I got this morning, we had an invitation to come to the Annie’s Natural’s Pasta Salad Tasting 😀

IMG_4933

I sampled all 3 flavors plus garlic bread!  Surprisingly I really liked them all and I am not a mayo salad type of person.  I really think you need the fresh produce in the kits to make them this delicious 🙂

IMG_4935

I counted this as my one FREE meal for the week.  It was worth it!

After work I headed off to my Weight Watcher Meeting then did a ton of shopping/errands, including a stop at Costco. 

Have I ever mentioned that our adopted kitty has a box fetish???  Oh, but, only when The Husband puts it down for her.  She just looks at me if I do 😀

IMG_4952

While dinner cooked, we harvested the garden.  We split the goods evenly 😉

IMG_4950

Sometimes you have to go with simple and you have to eat what you crave!  I picked up some Ling Ling Chicken & Vegetable Potstickers at Costco.

IMG_4947

1 point each!

IMG_4948

REAL ingredients and nothing funky ~ this is why I LOVE this brand!  Oh and they taste awesome for frozen too!

IMG_4949

I <3 Potstickers!!!  Can you believe I forgot to have Sriracha with these?!

IMG_4954

Organic Raspberries!!!!

IMG_4955IMG_4953

A simple side salad a la The Husband.  Dinner clocked in at 7 pts.

IMG_4956

Did I mention that she is STILL in this box like 3 hours later?! Maybe she is hoping the Chicken Wings will magically appear! LOL…

IMG_4962

My Wordless Wednesday Picture was the view from the room we got ready for our wedding in on the Caribbean Island of Anguilla at Shoal Bay.  Isn’t it beautiful ~ I have to say that is my all time favorite beach ever!!!

It’s been a LONG day and tomorrow is going to be even longer!  2 days left and counting.

Night all!

    The Nutbarn butters sound fantastic. IF I didn’t have 26 open jars of nut butter in my pantry right now, I would seriously be ordering some! 🙂

    I love your dinner. Potstickers and raspberries….what a great combo! 🙂
