Green Dog Wine is ALMOST 1 year old!

Next Wednesday is my 1 year “Blog-iversary”! I’m working on a fun post AND a giveaway! Is there anything specific that ya’ll would like to see? If you have any ideas/requests/treats/highlights/you name it that you’d like to see next Wednesday – LET ME KNOW!
I made a trip out to TJ’s this weekend – and made sure to grab some Puffins, which I have not had in FOREVER!

MMM Puffin Lovin!
I do have to say though – “2 servings” looked very low in the bowl – I was sad that was all I could get for 220 calories! At least with the Cheerios – they are smaller so it looks like you are “getting more” for the same amount of calories.
Lunch – Caesar-ish salad, with veggies and hummus:

Not a lot of protein, but definitely a lot of COLOR!

Pink Lady Apple and Naturally More PB:

After my tasty tuna salad on Sunday – and my very protein deficient lunch earlier in the day - I was craving more tuna at dinner time – but this time – I got REAL crazy (I live life on the edge), and threw some dark red kidney beans into the mix!

While I haven’t been very successful baking lately – I have a pretty good streak going on “meals I just whip up on a whim”!

Here’s what went in to the quick tuna salad:
- 1 serving of kidney beans
- 1 can of white tuna
- rough chopped pickles
- curry
- garlic salt
- onion salt
- crushed red pepper
- cayenne
- honey mustard
- light mayo
That’s it! Easy peasy!
Hope your week is going well! Don’t forget – send me your ideas/requests/treats/highlights/you name for next week!

Have you ever made your own “caesar-ish” dressing? My mom makes this vinagrette based dressing and its TDF…I love making it and bringing it into work to use for the week! Let me know if you want the recipe…goes fab with homemade croutons but that’s just my personal “im a carb lover” opinion. OH and you don’t have to bake it!

I love Puffins! I need to cough up the money at the grocery store and give into my craving.
Kidney beans are my favorite bean because they’re meat-y, if that makes any sense! I find them very filling!

I want more Lando-bean
Oh, and if you do a Lando giveaway, Janetha is going to have some strong competition! I didn’t realize that your blog is only two months older than mine – for some reason it just seems like you’ve been blogging a lot longer than I have. Happy early birthday, GDW!!!

Man, I am a big fan of all the ingredients in your tuna salad. I’ll have to remember it next time I have a tuna sal-easy (sleazy?) craving.

How exciting! Almost one year, very cool. I love giveaways that include bars (Larabars for sure) or other products like peanut butter or new healthy products that have just come out! Really, I like all giveaways
Your tuna salad is so my style. I love the hodgepodge of ingredients. And, I know what you mean about cereal. For 200 calories you really can’t get much in a bowl! It stinks.

Are the halloween clif z bars out yet? If so, include those! I’d like to know when your hot sauce addiction started, maybe you could do a tribute to it?

I cannot be trusted with Puffins – I can eat them straight out of the bag!
I like Julie’s idea – a tribute to hot sauce!

All your eats look so good…. I am only recently reading your blog on a regular basis (I love it!)…. I’d love to see an introduction for your newbies/ a re-cap of some of the best posts and maybe anything else you think would be a good way for people to catch up on your year of blogging!
