New Treats I Tried In The Spring

Yes! It's a new season which generally means companies release new snacks. And of course I need to try them. They are all available in most grocery stores now. 

Reese's loves to bring out different flavors, and I always try them, so when I saw this, I was like, yes! You cannot go wrong with chocolate, peanut butter, and marshmallow. 

We are so excited for the Doctor Doom movie, so I had to get these Oreos. Even better, the creme changes color!

Butterfingers are delicious, so when I spotted a French Toast flavor, it was immediately added to my cart. I prefer the original flavor, but this was a fun change.

It's going to get extremely hot soon, so these dippin dots sundaes will be a nice treat. I am a sucker for cotton candy flavors.

Searching for a scrumptious dip for your next get together? This chocolate chip cookie dough dip was amazing! I paired it with vanilla pita chips. 

Finally, another fantastic treat for the summer will be these ice cream sandwiches from Chipwich. If you love mint chocolate chip as I do, these will be a hit! Even better, they were inspired by Thin Mints.

Which one of these do you want to try first?

Hey, It's Okay

 I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to be going to Tommy's college so I can take his graduation pics this weekend. I'll probably cry. 

......to have submitted a recipe to win free HuHot for a year. Check this post out here to see how you can win!

.....to be tired of all the rain we have been getting. I mean, yes, we needed it, but it keeps coming, and I feel for the people at the Fiesta celebrations. It's this event that happens in San Antonio every April for 10 days. There's music and tasty food. 

......to have been enjoying the show Rooster on HBO Max. It's about a divorced bestselling author who goes to a college where his daughter works to support her after her husband cheats. And gets the other woman pregnant. Oops. 

.....to have really enjoyed the book Michael Without Apology by Catherine Ryan Hyde. It's about Michael, who nearly died in a fireworks accident when he was a child. Michael goes to college and meets Professor Dunning, who also had an accident and wears his scars proudly. Michael is still working on this. In film class, Michael decides to do his project on other people with scars, including himself. Will he learn to embrace his imperfections? This was such a moving read and I think many will be touched by the book.
