Natural and Organic Foods

Happy Friday! 

First off, I'm not going to post scripture today, I would like to incorporate Jesus' resurrection so I thought Sunday when it is official Easter and Christ has risen from the grave, I will post them then. Hopefully I won't be too busy Sunday.

This morning I went to school, then I had to stop by to get my bangs trimmed, but there was a line, go figure, its a Friday, so I ended up going to Wegman's to grab a few things for my mom. Afterwards, it was pretty warm out so I wanted to get the food home as soon as possible so I did not get my bangs trimmed, but that's ok. I will go tomorrow :) 

I have been into natural and organic food for quite some time...now, that doesn't mean I've been eating it, but I've been wanting to. I guess it started when I began watching what I ate closely and trying to get myself into shape before summer time. In school, sometimes I end up getting unhealthy snacks because I'm not too hungry to buy a meal, but would like to nibble on something small. So I headed over to the organic section at Wegman's and decided to get a few things for myself. 

This is what I got:

No, no the lindt chocolate did not come from the natural/organic section. Let me explain...but first here is the run down:

Strawberry Cobblers: Were on sale for 2.99, originally 3.99 (I tried one already....not as good as they look!)

Clif Crunch: Paid the original price, 2.99 (These are some white chocolate macadamia nut flavor.) I haven't tried them yet, but decided they are not worth buying in regards to the "healthy" snacks I am trying to eat. Well, unless they are REALLY good I'll continue to get them since they are not expensive and are healthier than candy bars, but I'm not into those anyways. I guess it was nice to buy something "sweet" that is considered healthier!

Hummus Chips: On Sale 2/5.00 I like chips, so this would be a healthy substitute I thought. I tried the red pepper flavor and after the first few I ate, I was not sure I was liking them, but the more I ate the more I began to really like them! 

The Lindt chocolates: These are my favorite. I love the smooth chocolate filling that is in them, but I always abstain from buying them because they are expensive, unhealthy, etc...but I bought them in the bulk section. I still paid 5.39 for them but that's ok. I don't buy them often. As I am trying to eat healthy, I shouldn't have bought them in the first place, but you know when you are hungry in a store, and then the thought comes, well I will be eating these healthy snacks, why not get chocolate? This will be my splurging area. So I did. I ate four today because they are just so good. 

So these snacks are basically for when I go to school. At home I will continue to eat healthy (usually!) homemade foods. I just thought I might as well spend a little more on snacks that are healthier for me, or snacks that are not as unhealthy. Maybe that is the correct way of stating it! Also, even at home when I feel like having chips, why not have the "healthier" option to choose.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will be busy cleaning, and doing homework (I feel like I am drowning in it).
I am glad that we got most of our dessert cooking for Easter done Wednesday night and today. Coming up next week I will share with you about my lovely brothers helping in the kitchen. Let me tell you, that was no small task for them!
Blessings,
