Who’s this Jack character?

Since I’m trying to hold on to the the idea that I am ACTUALLY participating in the Thanksgiving Challenge – I ‘ve been trying to be good about going to the store this week.

Which means – I’ve had to get creative with breakfast, and dig into some of the pantry staples that have been hanging around for a while. I give you: Hungry Jack!

This packet was 78 cents, and it made 15 pancakes – not bad right?

I topped mine with Smuckers Blueberry Syrup (this was my first time trying it – I did NOT like it – it tasted like I was pouring melted candy all over my pancakes) – and I finished the rest off with disgusting amounts of delicious spray butter!

Lunch: Salad. Enough said.

For a snack – I broke into my Newman’s Salted Rounds Pretzels, and my most favoritest PB EVER!

Aren’t they the cutest shape ever? (Yes – the shape and cuteness level of your food DOES matter)

After work – I had a 6pm “meeting” – aka Happy Hour with my wonderful Yawp girls:

We went from seeing each other every week, to barely passing each other once a month in the hallways – so we decided we should get together, so we could all visit and catch up. Oh yeah, and drink.

I ordered Sauv Blanc, of course!

It really was great to catch up with these wonderfully ladies! None of us work together on a daily basis (okay – except me and Ang) (and honestly – probably wouldn’t be friends if it hadn’t been for Yawp bringing us together) – so this happy hour was just what the doctor ordered.

Eventually – things came to this: (great idea Angelina! )

Followed with more of this:

and it’s safe to say it was all down hill from there!

Thanks for a fabulous night ladies!

Happy Friday everyone!

WHOSE EXCITED FOR THE OHIO STATE V. MICHIGAN CAME TOMORROW?!?!?!?! Michigan’s going DOWN!

looks like a fun night!

Yum – that pb sounds great! The only flavors I can get here are the dark chocolate, cinn. raisin and white chocolate I really want to try the maple one!

Looks like it was a fun night

OMG spicy peanut butter??? i have to figure out where to find that on the left coast… PRONTO!

I had pretzels and PB too I loves the combo, but I couldn’t handle the heat in yours

Uh Oh. Looks like a carzy night

I’m a KU fan and we’re already out the big game :/ GRR. Oh well we have basketball!

GO Buckeyes! Do you stay around for the holidays? I’ll be in Cleveland for a few days over Thanksgiving, but we will mostly be in Chautauqua. I’ll be back for a while for Christmas – let me know! I am determined to get a meeting planned

Those Hungry Jack packets look cool… I’ve never seen those and love the price!!

Happy Friday!!

Sav Blanc is my favorite. You need to visit Atlanta sometime; we’d have a ton of fun.

I think its great that you’re trying to save on groceries! I am great at budgeting…except for groceries What a fun night out with the ladies! Love that the event brought you all together!

Yay for the spray!!! (of butter). Oh my gah–I am so jealous every time you bust out that spicy pb.

I was just thinking, it is so great that you like the people you work with and can engage with them on a different level. That is so valuable! Have a great Friday babe! xoxo

I am, I am!! Go Bucks!!

Haha I am sooo a spray butter junkie. It’s my weakness, but I have no shame It’s too good. And Newman’s pretzels are the BEST pretzels. I totally have to try that PB, too.

Haha, even though I don’t follow football at all, I gotta stand by my home-state Michigan. What can I say, I was raised to hate Ohio State Have an awesome night, girl!

What a great way to start the weekend!

I love pancakes with blueberry syrup! I’m not a fan of maple, but real blueberry is the best! You just have to find the real stuff, instead of the overly sticky, sweet kind. Try thawing some frozen blueberries, mashing them a bit, and adding sugar. Mmmmm!
