Secret Sauce

August 10, 2010 by DanicasDaily 7 Comments

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 😀 (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 😀

"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 😀 (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!
