New favorite snacks

I was weighting my self again and noticed that I'm still under 145 lb so, I'm happy about that. I still get the munchies from time to time and I found my self hooked some Chex trail mix and wanted to share.

The chocolate turtle mix is definitely a favorite now:

I recently found a limited edition mix called "Cocoa" with marshmallows.....YUM

Can't find a picture on line, so I had to take a photo of the {almost empty} package I have home.

It's a limited edition that will around only for the holidays, so they will be gone soon and I will be sad soon.......oh well! Such is life!

I was drawn by Chex in the first place because is one of the few company that has gluten-free cereal that you can easily find at the grocery store and won't cost an arm and a leg.

Even tho the mixes I'm currently eating are not gluten free, I noticed that as long as I eat the recommended serving size, it doesn't bother my tummy.

They keep my need of chocolate satisfied without breaking my weight loss plans: win-win.

Christmas cheers!

Look at my blog getting so neglected!! It's been a fun but busy week, I'm so glad I got to slow down and take a breath for the weekend!

So, how are you folks doing? Decorating the house for the holidays? We certainly did, want to see?

This is our Christmas tree! The same as every year!

What's new this year is that I also decorated the kitchen. The table runner I bought it in Italy several years ago.....imagine my surprise when I went to the Dollar Store and found some seat cushions with the same motif: red poinsettias on an off white background!

We put lights on the porch....well,kinda! that star never was used before as the power cord is so short so this year we wanted to use it so badly that we got creative!
