Things I Love This Week

<u><b>Love #1</b></u> <br />Shortly after Halloween, while shopping in my local Safeway, I stumbled upon these Keurig gems: Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa K-cups.  They were 50% off, though I'm not sure why.   One K-cup is 2 Points+.  If you're like me, and one K-cup just doesn't quite get your cup full enough, then 2 of them are just 3 Points+!  Have you tried these?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4D1W68t6-v06yAWlhIrbBrf0JT2Q4bVXu6ZRlH4fDvINUyd3HNsNcBEdWZMQa1SwUjjrXYenFRVbA0vmBuxKixTSDXOuIQdqgwIS7q8MiBixlpiJjnPYNxAUK94cOSkHfxFXMA1E24p8/s1600/Christmas+Card+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4D1W68t6-v06yAWlhIrbBrf0JT2Q4bVXu6ZRlH4fDvINUyd3HNsNcBEdWZMQa1SwUjjrXYenFRVbA0vmBuxKixTSDXOuIQdqgwIS7q8MiBixlpiJjnPYNxAUK94cOSkHfxFXMA1E24p8/s400/Christmas+Card+003.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />The Market Pantry large marshmallows (from Target) are 2 Points+ for four.  You can really do without four of them though.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8eXUIBE24pHgvqS7R6heuOn6ksKBwG1qx2bErNx7YTP0pUZmjQl9hGKj-pFMVODWkr2GKNBKLsvymckSC1UL38-LcoM47oXCEe5V9ZGKX8L3YK87z6c5DXK3fTo78F4bqEsEX82vtUM/s1600/Christmas+Card+005+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8eXUIBE24pHgvqS7R6heuOn6ksKBwG1qx2bErNx7YTP0pUZmjQl9hGKj-pFMVODWkr2GKNBKLsvymckSC1UL38-LcoM47oXCEe5V9ZGKX8L3YK87z6c5DXK3fTo78F4bqEsEX82vtUM/s400/Christmas+Card+005+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><u><b>Love #2</b></u><br />The next thing I am loving is the veggie dip recipe that I snagged from <a href="http://nothankstocake.blogspot.com/2011/12/veggies-and-dip-new-way.html">Kelly @ No Thanks to Cake</a>.  Incredibly easy to make and rather versatile based on the dip mixes available from <a href="http://www.hiddenvalley.com/products/hidden-valley-dips-mixes/">Hidden Valley</a>.  The serving size I chose is 48 grams (determined on eTools) for 1 Points+.  It has definitely inspired me to eat more vegetables, which is always a good thing for this picky eater!<br /><br /><u><b>Love #3 </b></u><br />The last thing I'm loving are the awesome comments you've all made on the <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/12/giveaway.html">Giveaway page</a> in regard to what you're most excited about for Christmas.  I am going to hold off on commenting on them individually because it will make it easier for me to total up the count when it comes drawing time.<br /><br />For the readers who are parents, I can somewhat identify with you on that front - watching your kids open gifts on Christmas morning.  Isn't that the best?  Ever since I was blessed with a niece, Christmas is that much more enjoyable - her reaction to things are hilarious.  Last year my parents got her this view finder.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2009/07/View-Finder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="269" src="http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2009/07/View-Finder.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Remember these?</td></tr></tbody></table>We could NOT convince her to move on to her other gifts.  She just had to play with that one thing.  (She was 2 years old at the time).  Each time she would look through the view finder she would say... and I quote: "What you do seeeeeeeee?" ... really dragging out the 'e' sound! Too cute!<br /><br />What are you loving lately? Any new/cool/genius WW friendly product finds?<br /><br />
