Since it’s my turn to do a post, I decided I’d share two
recent finds that I adore! My Sweet Hubby (MSH) gets credit for one find.
First, I discovered, about six weeks ago, Red Velvet Pop Tarts! RED VELVET. Pop Tarts. What could be better? I mean,
seriously.
I’ve treasured Pop Tarts since they appeared on the food
scene. Honestly? I have to not
buy them. I can’t have them in my cupboards or that’s all I’ll eat for
breakfast. At my age, I don’t need the sugar/carbs/empty calories. Hubby loves
‘em, too. (Although we have completely different tastes when it comes to the
flavors we each like. He goes for the fruity kind. I go for the
candy/chocolate/super bad kind.)
I fell in love with Red
Velvet cake about forty years ago. (Remember: I’m not a cook/chef/baker. I had
this culinary delight at someone else’s home.) It seems like it became the cake to make for a decade or so. (TLC thinks it may have been a
“Southern” tradition for a time.) Then it kind of disappeared. When All Things
Cupcake came to pass around the country—with cupcake shops poppin’ up in every
big city and little itty-bitty town—Red
Velvet made a comeback. Thank you. Thank you VERY much. Now, don’t get me
wrong: These tarts aren’t as fabulous as a Sprinkles
Red Velvet Cupcake. (TLC bought a Sprinkles’
Red Velvet Cupcake Kit from Williams-Sonoma a couple
of Christmases ago and they were simply beyond scrumptious.) But these Pop
Tarts? Yummy. Truly.
The Town House Pita Oven Baked Crackers were MSH’s discovery. He is a Cracker Fanatic. The man is cRaZy
for crackers. After his heart “event” in April,
he’s had to really watch his diet. But he still searches the grocery store
aisles to find new and exciting treats for us to have with a bite of cheese or
some salsa. These pitas ROCK . I'm here to tell
you they are awesome. Baked. Light. The perfect amount of sea salt.
Hope y’all are having a WONDERFUL Weekend—wherever in the
World you are!
hugs and smooches…
