Yum-Moo!

Before discussing a great snack I give the kids, I wanted to confess that I went to dinner last night!! I really wanted a nice big salad, so I told Jason that I thought we should go out and we had to stick to our guns! This was a tst of our will power. In the last 5 weeks, we haven't been to dinner, except on our anniversary 2 weeks ago. We split fajitas and had margaritas, so that night was no good!! But, last night I thought we could test out our strength. We decided on Chili's because they have their 2 for $20; you get an appetizer and 2 entrees. When we get there Jason of course wants the fried onion rings! I said no, so we decided on the queso and salsa. I ordered the Quesadilla Explosion Salad! I've had it before and it is so good!! I did however request not to have the corn/bean relish, so that helped, nutritionally wise. It does come with 4 cheese quesadillas, but I gave those to the kids. So all I had on the salad was the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and the tortilla strips! A pretty descent dinner.






Now, on to my real reason!! My sister in law had been telling me about this great snack that she was giving to her kids, frozen yogurt. She would buy the Yoplait Go-Gurts and put them in the freeze, then give them to her kids like popsicles. I thought I would try that method and see how it went! SCORE!! The boys LOVE them. They love yogurt and would eat it all day long if allowed. The Go-Gurts at Wal-Mart run about $2.50 for 8 tubes. I found another brand, Friendly Farms Moo-Tubes, at Aldi and they were only $1.98
for 8. And since my boys are fairly young, I cut 1 tube in half and they each get a half for a snack!! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
