I am wearing a snuggie as I type this- it’s the blue one- just thought I would let you all know so that you can paint a picture in your head. Of me.. looking as though I’m in a cult.
A friend of Isaac’s bought it for me for my b-day (kind of as a joke). Of course, like all things seen on TV, it came with not one, but 2. I was sweet and gave the second one to Isaac. He loves it 
We are the coolest couple eva when we wear them together.
On to the food… for breakfast I had Snowy Oats: 1/2 oat bran, 1/2 oatmeal, USAM, 1/2 banana and ground flax combo with a spoonful of Better n PB and a covering of unsweetened shredded coconut.
Lunch was rush rush rush… no photo of my tofu wrapped in a ww tortilla. However, I do have a special treat/product review. I finally got around to trying Shirataki Noodles.
After reading multiple things online… some people hating the noodles, some people loving them I was a bit nervous about trying the bag of noodles I had in the fridge. I was especially anxious about the smell that everyone kept mentioning.
IT ENDED UP BEING FINE! I drained, rinsed, parboiled, and dried the noodles. The smell was kind of stinky, but after the whole procedure listed above, the smell was gone.
I used Hungry Girl recipe on the back of the package for a noodle soup. I used veggie broth instead of chicken and also put in double the celery and carrots. The soup turned out great. The noodles are a little tougher than regular noodles but no bad at all.
Isaac had a bowl of the soup as well. He thought it tasted like ramen. Overall, these noodles are sweet- only 40 calories for the whole package and they taste pretty good. I really want to try an pasta dish with the noodles to see if I like them that way as well.
Thanks for the all the sweet comments about miss Olive!

Love your eats! Love the noodles!
Haha! I’ve always though those Snuggies are creepy but so comfy-looking!
Oh my gosh I really want a snuggie! I am totally jealous
I had one just like it when I was younger. Actually, my whole family did! We were so stylish together!
Thanks for the reminder that coconut needs to go on my oatmeal sometime soon. YUM! I also caught up on your eats from over the weekend. Those spring rolls look heavenly! And Olive is adorable!
Wow, great use of the shirataki noodles! I’m glad the stench was gone and I am definitely going to have to try them in soup sometime.
Have a happy hump day, Brittany!
I’m jealous of your Snuggie too! My arms are cold as I type this.
Yes, more Olive photos are a must!
love the snow bowl!!
I need to get some coconut flakes too!
I want a snuggie so bad!!!
I was scared about trying those noodles too! I actually liked them. but I much rather prefer my Barilla plus protein packed whole wheat gems instead
I had the fettucinie shirataki and ate the ENTIRE bag (a whopping 20 cals LOL) with tomoato sauce, sauteed veggies and meatless balls for my take on sphaghetti and meatballs!
How funny you mentioned the Snuggie, I saw it on an infomercial last night and was like I have to have this! The hubby rolled his eyes! I think it looks so cozy!
I love that you have a snuggie – I do too! They’re the best
Thanks for the noodle review, I may have to pick up a bag of them!
snuggies? I am so jealous!
A snuggie seems like a great thing.
Your soup looks really good and actually makes me want to give shirataki noodles another chance. I could not deal with the smell when I tried like 3 years ago, but I am much more accepting now.
LOL – i want a snuggie so bad but my hubby refuses to let me buy one!
Oh, those snugglies look so cozy. I would love one for the office if it wouldn’t make me look so strange. I’m always freezing.
I like the texture and taste of shirataki noodles but, unfortunately, my stomach doesn’t like them.
I totally wanna try Shirataki noodles! Where did you get them from? I’m a big HungryGirl fan
I can’t wait to hear your reviews if you decide to use those noodles in a pasta dish!
Glad you liked the noodles. I’ve always wanted to try them but can’t find them anywhere near me!

Julie- I found the noddles at Whole Foods. That’s the only place I have seen them.
I’m so jealous that you have a snuggie!
A snuggie! No way! Rob always threatens to order one
I’m glad you liked the noodles. I think they’re really good personally.
Coconut on oats gets a thumbs up from me! I love me some coconut.
I have a package of those noodles in my fridge as well, that I have yet to try out, mostly because I’m not 100% sure what I’m going to do with them.
Ooooh, I love those noodles. They’re cheap, calorie wise. Perfect for me when I have days that are uh…rather lazy, so to speak.
Haha about the snuggie! At least you’re warm! My dad bought his wife one of those last year. And it wasn’t a joke gift.
haha snuggies are the best thing ever invented. Ive got 2 and i love them. Id watch out eating in one though..
