FRIDAY LINKS AND THINGS

SO yesterday the citrus guy stopped by the office.. it was just me.. here so I was not sure who the guy was .. but he was holding oranges so I thought must be the citrus guy.. I listened to his shpell and when he said he was from Vero Beach I thought I okay I like this guy.. going to by some fruit from him.. ( Vero Beach was right by my boarding school ) I tasted one of the Honey tangelos and oranges OH MY GOD why dont they sell these in the grocery!!!!!! .. they are wonderful.. I talked him into selling me a half of box of mixed tangelos and oranges and he gave me a couple of grapefruit..it was 30.00 and its a LOT of fruit for 2 people.. .. I could not do the whole box that would be way too much.. I am telling you this stuff is good.. will have to take some pictures and post those..Since i was at the office alone I would not go out to the truck with them.. so they bought the truck to me which told me he was on the level... so at least I was not kidnaped by being tempted by oranges lol.. just a kid trying to make some money.. I saw he had a lot of checks with him.. local folks so I wrote him a check too.. for half a box.. and right now I am eyeballing some might fine fruit.. perfect timing with starting weight watchers and all I thought.. We are going to the Farmers Market tomorrow too so that is good.. will get some veggies since we are pretty stocked in fruit for now..

Here is your healthy tip from BESTLIFE.COM :

HEALTHY TIP
Eat Your Vegetables!

Having trouble hitting your daily veggie goal (at least 4 servings)? You can use snacks to up your intake. Try these tasty ideas:

•Dip baby carrots, grape tomatoes or celery in plain yogurt. For extra flavor, season yogurt with dill or mix with salsa
•Spread hummus on chopped raw veggies and pair it with string cheese.
•Have a cup of vegetable soup (like Progress 50-percent-less sodium garden vegetable) with a dollop of plain yogurt on top.
•Have some salsa on top of a WASA crispbread.

check this out.. now plain almonds are the best.. but nothing like a little zing in there too.. just watch your portions ALMOND INFO , HISTORY OF THE ALMOND,

SPECIAL RECIPES FOR ALMONDS

I have tried both the Vanilla Bean and Cinnamon and brown sugar.. both are great.. just a handful is both satisfying and filling... if you have big hands you might want to amend that to 24 almonds here are the nutritionals on the Vanilla Bean flavored ..

its the same for the cinnamon ones.. the Sea Salt and plain for some reason have 10 more calories not sure why..
