Snacks

I have a weakness. I have a lot, but a major one is snacks. I love them. I think about snacks. I pack myself snacks. I'm always on the mission for the perfect snack that makes me happy but doesn't make me get heart disease. Didn't expect that, huh? Heart disease. Yea, it's dreadful.

So, these have been around forever, but I've only recently tried them. Larabar. They are not new at all. Here's my fave: Coconut Cream Pie!



They have like 10 grams of fat which is a lot for a snack. It's because they have almonds. So, I eat half and save half. Smart, huh? Rocket science. They also only have like 5 ingredients, ALL of which I can pronounce. Yet another reason to add them to your grocery list.

In other news, SC is actually getting a Trader Joe's in Greenville.


I stopped by last weekend to marvel at the building. It's a similar feeling I had when Columbia actually got a Starbucks. I have no idea why we are the last to get everything. We are full of college kids who love all of this stuff. And then there's me. I love all this stuff too! Even though I couldn't go in to Trader Joe's because it wasn't open yet, I did chat with a guy who works there. I asked him when we would get one in Columbia. He said that both Columbia and Charleston are on a list. Then he told me he'd said too much and hurried away. Such secrets in the special-grocery-store world. I know TJ's isn't special either. Kinda like the Larabar. Trader Joe's has really great snacks though if you are lucky enough to live in a city that has one.
