Please keep the eye rolls to a minimum. You know you’d rather be “snack-a-lackin” rather than *yawn* “snacking”. Admit it.

Make sure you are wearing proper protective eye gear…and please keep your arms and legs in the vehicle at all times. Saftey first.
I obviously haven’t had any protein today.
Thanks Jenn for hosting the party!!
I think this week was pretty successful when it came to snacks. I was supposed to focus on more veggies and I don’t think I was too successful with that, but overall I think my snacks were sensible.

My beloved pretzel bun from Costco. How how I love you so. You fill me up and make me happy like no other bun I have encountered. I only snacked on a couple this one this week.

A GINORMOUS watermelon made its way into our house (also thanks to Costco) and now I have a problem similar to Gina. Can’t fit this thing anywhere. So I guess its gonna have to fit in my stomach. Oh well.

Oh look! More stuff from Costco. (***sidenote…when we went to Costco on Saturday a lady approached us as we were checking out and told us that we were flagged as people would GREATLY benefit from an executive membership b/c we spend so much money there. I think we need an intervention)


Ok FINALLY something not from Costco. I got these bars from a “deal” website (not Groupon…I know I am a traitor) and they are actually really good. I’ve tried a couple of the different flavors and haven’t found one that I dislike yet. I sent some to my foodie pen pal this month as well so we will see what she thinks about them too!

Ok that’s not really a snack it was part of a dinner I made the other night, but isn’t it just so pretty? I could lovingly stare at eat big bowls of sauteed mushrooms, peppers and onions all day.
ok sorry back to the snacks….my one splurge in the snack department….

That’s not exactly what my popcorn looked like, but you get the picture. Paul and I went to see Prometheus at the Cinerama and their popcorn is just so tasty. It tastes different from other movie theater popcorn which I’m for sure means its even worse than regular theater popcorn (if that’s even possible!) They also have chocolate popcorn and you can get a bag of just that or a bag of combo. I never get it b/c I think it would prob get on my nerves by the end of the bag. Regular suits me just fine.
My goals for next week are:
- To become a famous Costco spokesperson
- To eat as many pretzel buns as is humanly possible
Have you had pretzel buns? If not, why not?
Would you get a bag of chocolate popcorn?
Do you base the size of watermelon you purchase more on price or whether or not you have room for it in your fridge?

I love pretzel buns. Oh.So.Good.
I love popcorn a ton (movie popcorn especially), but chocolate only a little. (I KNOW! I am a shame to women everywhere!!) I think chocolate popcorn sounds awful.
I always pick watermelons that are way too big, but fortunately I can put one down in a couple days. Stomach cramps are my tummys way of saying thanks!
Love your blog by the way!
Yes the chocolate popcorn just does not sound that appealing to me either even though I love chocolate. And yes, I can put down a watermelon in a few days time. Mannny trips to the bathroom ensue…waterlogged!!!


And thanks

Why does our Costco not have said buns?! I feel slighted! And you should get the executive, it is worth it
WHAT?!?!?!? Your Costco has no buns??? That is a tragedy. We need to call headquarters.

Yeah I think we are gonna go with executive…its a good deal.

Fortunately we have second refrigerator for storing the bulk items we buy at Sams Club. But a chopped up watermelon doesn’t last long in our house.
I love popcorn, but not the kind at the theaters…too heavy. I like popping the 100 calorie microwave packets for a quick snack.
I don’t think I could eat chocolate popcorn…
AmyC recently posted..#TrainingTruths: Workouts and Rachel Ray
second fridge…great idea! We have a giant freezer but of course not everything we get can be frozen. those 100 calorie bags are the BEST!

Hahaha I would totally vote for you to be a famous Costco spokesperson, if that helps
it TOTALLY does!! One vote down! Only who knows how many more to GO!!! woo hooo!!

I like chocolate, but on popcorn?? Fruit is fun. Summer fruit is funner. (New word)
I don’t think my Costco has pretzel buns. I’ll look next time. WIAW is an interesting concept. Have fun.
Funner is a great new word. I am going to use it.
I am hearing that your Costco’s don’t have pretzel buns. This needs to be remedied immediately. You need to use your political influence to change this. STAT.

yum!
i just had a pretzel bun from a restaurant recently! it was so good!
so funny i base any big fruit (watermelon definitely) wether it will fit in the fridge or not! haha
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud! recently posted..Protein Bars That I Made. In My Kitchen
I think I give it some thought and then I just buy it anyway and if it doesnt fit then I just have to eat it. Oh well!!

I love a good fresh berry mixture. I want some of that.
Chocolate popcorn – sign me up!! YUM!!!

THEY SELL PRETZEL BUNS AT COSTCO? What the heck?! Why have I never seen those before. I seriously frequent cost co’s all the time lol usually I’m more focused on the produce, but I do a good walk around the entire place though. I love the watermelon there. It is cheap and ridic large lol perfect summer treat.
Lindsay @ Conscious Cravings recently posted..WIAW on Your Healing Diet
Well apparently from what I am hearing from others they don’t have them at EVERY Costco. I think this is just WRONG. Everyone everywhere should be able to have a pretzel bun!!
eatpraytri recently posted..{What I ate} Wednesday- Snack-a-lakin’
Wait, can I live in your fridge? I am craving watermelon and fresh fruit. it is the season and that is all I want right now.
Alex @ therunwithin recently posted..Dude, Where’s My Blog?
I would love for you to live in the fridge but unfortunately there is no room now that we have a ginormous watermelon in there.

I LOVE pretzel buns. A burger on a pretzel bun is sort of insanely good!

Glad to know I’m not alone in my love of the pretzel bun!

Ahh I love all of the fruit!! I’ve been eating fruit like crazy recently, as well. And I don’t really base my watermelon purchase on anything, other than the price. If it’s on sale and looks ripe, I’m buying it. And the rest will just work itself out.

Kristen @ notsodomesticated recently posted..Funfetti: It’s like a party in your mouth.
agreed! it will work itself out right into my belly!!

A pretzel bun? A PRETZEL BUN?!?!?!? I guess I’m glad there’s not a Costco near me. I didn’t need to know about this!

Fran@ Broken Cookies Don’t Count recently posted..WIAW~I Need To Fix This Snacking
I want you to have one though!! I want everyone to taste the deliciousness that is the pretzel bun!!!
eatpraytri recently posted..{What I ate} Wednesday- Snack-a-lakin’
I’m on a strawberry binge right now. And watermelon too! It’s the summer fruits that I love
I’ve never tried the Rise bars. Chocolate popcorn does not sound appealing. I buy watermelon based on how much I can eat before it goes bad (ALOT!) Oh and yes, I haven’t had one in a while but I love pretzel buns

Summer fruits are THE BEST! And I am with you on the chocolate popcorn!

I really like those Rise Bars too… a bit expensive around me though, so I will have to look for them via deal like you did! Cashew almond is my personal favorite so far
There is no reason I have not had a pretzel bun.. clearly I am missing something substantial from my life 

Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted..WIAW- Unfamiliar Territory
You really are! you need them in your life stat! ha!
I haven’t tried the cashew almond yet, but it is next on my list. I love both of those things! The carob one is particularly good I think, but agree…kinda pricey without the deal!
eatpraytri recently posted..{What I ate} Wednesday- Snack-a-lakin’
That pretzel roll looks seriously delicious! I need to find those next time I’m there, I’ve been missing out!
