Crackers? hmmm... Flatbread? YUM!

I mixed up some home made chicken salad from some left over rotisserie chicken for lunch today.  A little bit of onion, some celery, dried sour cherries, salt, pepper and lite mayo all stirred in with the leftover chicken and mmm, makes a great lunch.  But what made this so good today - new Flatbread Crisps from Town House in the Sea Salt & Olive Oil flavor.  Crispy, crunchy and the perfect blend of seasonings.  Much better than the usual wheat toast or traditional cracker.  I think these would be wonderful with many kinds of dips, spreads or cheese - or even just a small handful with a glass of wine.

New Shoes!

Aren't these shoes cute?!  I recently ordered this pair of Fidji 903's from Nordstroms.  They are so cute, so comfortable, so stylish.... and they were on sale.  I love the go-with-everything bronze color and the little bit of heel.   Unfortunately, they are no longer available on the web site but I noticed my were actually shipped from a store so they may still be available from Nordstroms.  But if you can't find these, check out the other cute styles from Fidji.  Their style names leave a little to be desired (903?!), but the shoes are really, really cute.

Pretzel M&M's - Two favorites combined!

Look what's new in the candy aisle.... Pretzel M&M's!  M&M's has done it - combined two of my favorites into the perfect little bite size candy.  Sweet and salty, smooth and crunchy, and colorful, too!  My daughter tells me these were test marketed in Columbus, Ohio.  Apparently they passed the test because I have seen them both in CVS and Wal-Mart.  Enjoy!

Super Soft Sleepwear

Check out this Super Soft Sleepwear from Gap Body!  I have had several different styles and colors of this sleepwear over the past few years.  So soft, so comfortable!  The styles available this season include the cute cami and lace-trimmed pants.  And you can pick from several colors - including basic black, this soft blue, or a blush pink.  Really pretty, and did I mention, so soft, too?

Perfect Spring Hoodie

You are going to love this light weight hoodie from Gap.  It's called the Vintage Roll-up Hoodie, comes in white, light blue or tan and is $34.50 (but watch for deals & promos).  It is SO soft and very light weight - perfect to throw on over a t-shirt when the sun goes down.  The best part is the roll-up sleeves giving you an extra bit of style.  I really do think you'll love it!

Mmmm - a little sweet treat!

I have to admit, the first time I saw this little white bonbon sitting in front of my place at a friend's house in Germany, I was a little bit nervous to take a bite thinking there would probably be a hazelnut hidden inside and hazelnuts are not my favorites.  But what a nice surprise....coconut, vanilla cream, and an almond!   Now if you've read this blog for awhile, you know I am nutty for almonds, but this might be the best yet ~ Fererro Rocher Raffaello's.  You can find these sweet treats at Walgreens and some Walmart stores.  Best savored slowly - just one for a sweet little treat.

A Favorite from Last Year Returns!

I had just about given up hope on this clever item - Chilled Salad Bowl with Servers - from Crate and Barrel. After buying one of these last summer, I bragged it up to my friends and family. But when I went to purchase a second one for a gift, I could not find it in the store, catalog or website! So it made my day to see this back in the latest Crate and Barrel catalog, on the website, and in the store. A couple of things make this salad bowl a "pearl". First of all, the serving utensils store right on the lid and are held secure with just a little snap. The second clever feature that elevates this above your common plastic bowl is the removable icepack that fits into a cover on the bottom. Store the icepack in the freezer, then insert under the bottom cover when you are ready to leave for your picnic or carry-in to keep your salads fresh and chilled. Only $14.95 at Crate and Barrel.
