Spring Food

Potato salad are great for bringing on picnics or warm weather parties. Nothing better in the spring time than good potato salad. My favorite food is whatever I am in mood for. There are times that you can’t beat a homemade soup then there are days made for ice-cream.

When spending a lot of time outside in the heat, watermelon and fruits high in water content are the best. I love a good salad bar. I love salads with pecans, tomatoes, olives, croutons, sweet pepper, corn and cucumbers.

Hershey’s Emoji Bars

I think this is a cool idea to include as a token gift to someone you care about. It is cute little stocking stuffer for the holidays as well. It was a novelty in the beginning.

Hershey’s is following the trend of the emoji. It is good how they are changing things up and I am looking forward to their newly designed candy as they are my favorite chocolate brand.

It is a very modern concept. Kids associate with emojis so it is bound to make sales at the checkout stations.

Seasonal Food/Drinks

I always from time to time get the hibiscus berry refreshers from Starbucks during this summer. I really like pumpkin flavored anything. Pumpkin soup and pumpkin spice cream are awesome.

When it come to flavors, I either like them or I don’t. If I like them, I would eat/drink them year round if they are available. I eat chicken tenders, burgers and salads all year round if they are available not just when it is grilling season. I may eat certain foods more often due to the season because it is more convenient or I just have a taste for it more often.

I like candy cane mint flavors at Christmas especially white chocolate bark or hot chocolate with a candy cane in it and whipped cream. I love the seasonal offerings and try most of them. I do like to buy and eat seasonal shaped items like Christmas tree cookies. It gets you in the spirit of the holiday season.

The pumpkin spiced foods represents the change of season and the flavor is welcoming. I think it makes them more enjoyable because you can only get them at certain times of the year.

Red Or White Wine

White wine and sparkling kind is more popular during the summer. Red wine is more popular during the colder months because it helps to warm people up. They used to say red wine is good for your health however recently I heard it is best to avoid all alcohol.

There was a study where they concluded that it was the grapes that provided the health benefit, not the alcohol.

10 Or Less Items At Checkout Line

It depends on the situation, say I have 5 apples and 6 oranges, then yes I still would go in that line. I usually go by the rules and at times the manager will tell me to go to that line anyway to make checkouts faster.

I have been in those line waiting when I had only one or two items. I find it rude and inconsiderate for people who have more than what is listed (say 12 items) to think they are special and that rules don’t apply to them. Sometimes the cashier will wave people over to the lane during busy times.

The number of people in line is equally important than fewer items. Pricing and bagging can go fast. The payment and chatting can take up significant time.

Candy

My candy choices now depend on the mood. It depends on whether I want fruit candy, chocolate or chewy candy.

I always love the mini sized candy bars especially snickers, Hershey, kitkats etc. I like harvest candy corn but just the corn pieces that are brown, orange and white.

Cookie Love

  1. I do enjoy decorating and eating sugar cookies.
  2. Chocolate chip will always be my favorite.
  3. Peanut butter cookies with oatmeal and chocolate chip.
  4. Meringue cookies because they are light and melt in your mouth. Kahula Kisses is a fantastic variation that comes out from meringue cookies and taste almost like a toasted marshmallow.
  5. Oatmeal cookies are great for dunking in hot chocolate.
  6. Soft Russian Tea cookies – the kind with a little hole full of jam or preserves on the top and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
  7. Seasonal cookies like gingerbread especially those soft, cake like ones with sprinkles.
