Do you ever get stuck eating the same thing so much (eggs) that you forget how delicious other breakfasts can be (oatmeal)?
Love Grown Foods Hot Oats in Strawberry Raspberry with diced strawberries and chia seeds.
I try to save the easy-to-make LOVE cups for when I’m in a hurry, and yesterday I was. Hailey and I gobbled breakfast then drove to Charlotte to meet my friend, Cindi, who generously offered to let me shop Costco with her.
I’m not a member, but wanted to pick up some party supplies for our Cinco de Derby party we are having Saturday (!!!). However, I couldn’t resist snagging a few items for the household.
1 POUND of Kerrygold butter for $12.99? DEAL. Especially since Harris Teeter doesn’t even sell it. Of course I snagged a mega-tub of Sabra and a flat of La Croix’s, too.
Confetti Kale Salad, Coconut Quinoa Soup and Sunflower bread with melted gouda, avocado and sauerkraut.
Leftovers make the best lunch. Heat and eat. Both were just as tasty the next day.
When Hailey went down to nap after lunch, I sipped apple cider vinegar and a La Croix while getting some work done.
This might be the first day ever that I haven’t had an afternoon snack. Either lunch was really filling or I was too excited to hear David would be home early and could come with me to the gym that I just forgot.
This never happens. I was giddy that David let me lead him though my current favorite AMRAP workout from Jen. Another one soon, please, Jen? David agreed it was a good one!
Afterwards, we took Hailey swimming. Again, she loved it.
She didn’t even mind that I forgot her suit.
Back home, we were all pretty tired. I snacked on an (unpictured) handful of almonds while I made a simple dinner. After another episode of Game of Thrones, we are now into season 2, we called it a night.
Mexican Quinoa Salad and grilled chicken.
Don’t forget that tomorrow will be another Munchkin Meals link up! I’d love to have you join in. Also, I’ll be on FOX News Rising again tomorrow during the 8:00am hour if you want to check it out. Oh, and thank you Jenn for hosting today’s WIAW linkup! 🙂
Have a great day!

I love Kerrygold butter, but they keep hiking the price up here in London. The shops sell them for £1.60 for 250g (1/2lb) now (about £1.20 last year). Our friends from Ireland told us that the price was comparable to what they’d pay at home.
Brittany Dixon says
I fully admit I had to google the conversion and if I did it right, then that means a 1/2 lb of Kerrygold is $2.49- is that right?? If so, you are getting a much better price than I did. Sucks to hear the prices are going up, but man, I wish I could do my shopping in London 😉
Gcroft says
Yes, absolutely, which is why I did a double-take when I saw the $12.99 price tag. Oh but you have Whole Foods – I must get myself over to one of the London stores and see if the prices are comparable to the US.
Mary says
I have seen Kerrygold butter at Harris Teeter in Charlotte (near the specialty cheese section). You definitely got a good deal at Costco but sometimes I have seen it on sale at HT.
Brittany Dixon says
You’re so right. I’ve never even looked in the specialty section for kerrygold butter, just always with the cutters. Thank you! I will definitely remember to look there next time!

I used to have a Costco membership and it was glorious. I REALLY want to go again bad!! Question…what the heck grocery stores carry the hot oats?! I’ve been on the hunt for them and can’t find them. I’m in oatmeal withdrawal on vacation and need some asap!!!!
Brittany Dixon says
I’ve seen them at Fresh Market, but great news, they are now on Amazon!

PS- Yes, I live just outside of Charlotte! I’m sad I missed you on your way through!
Beth Sheridan says
Your little Hailey is so cute 🙂 And we don’t have a Costco close to where we live, so I have a Sam’s membership and take advantage frequently!
Brittany Dixon says
I just saw yesterday that they are putting in a Sam’s near us! What do you think of the quality of products?
jen says
i love sam’s! i grew up going there. it’s not quite as nice as costco but i think you’ll like it!
christina says
