Favorite Trader Joe Finds

I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger, Meijer, and Wal-Mart, but there are a few things I can only get at Trader Joe's, so I go about once a month. The only reason I don't go more often is because I hate driving out there!
 
I thought I'd share some of my favorite Trader Joe finds with you.
 
Sprouted wheat bread:
 I know many people avoid wheat, but it doesn't bother me. I just gotta have my bread every now and then! ;) I love this bread because it only has 7 grams of carbs, and it tastes really good toasted! 
 
Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce:
 
I have never been a mustard fan, but recently it has grown on me. I started using it in my tuna instead of mayo for when I need a quick snack. But then I found this Aoli Garlic Mustard Sauce, and it's so good mixed in with my tuna!

Parmesan Ranch Dressing:
 I hate vegetables. I'm not being a baby- I really have tried all different kinds, prepared all different ways...and I hate them all. I am not even a big fan of salads, but I can eat them if I use a dressing. After finding this yummy dressing at Trader Joe's, I actually look forward to eating a salad! Especially with some grilled chicken! Soooo yummy!
 
Turkey Bacon:
This bacon is the best bacon I've ever had. I actually prefer it to regular bacon, and it is definitely WAY better than most turkey bacon you get at grocery stores. And even better, it has no nitrates or nitrites.

Thin Mini Crackers
One thing I used to LOVE was chips! I do miss my Doritos....BUT they are not something I want to "waste" my calories on, so I don't eat them anymore unless it's at a family cookout or something. But sometimes I do crave something crunch/salty, and these rice crackers do the trick!  I'll just have a small handful of these with a meal or snack, and my craving is satisfied!
 
Cookie Butter!
And last, but not least, good ol' cookie butter! Just a warning-if you are someone who has a hard time with portion control...you should not buy this. It is like one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted!  I don't have it often, but every now and then I'll have a spoonful as my bedtime snack or on a piece of toast with breakfast.
 
There you have it! What are some of your favorite things to get from Trader Joe's?

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm
