Did you hear the news? Oprah is ending her talk show come Sept. 29th, 2011…….. I like Oprah, I don’t watch her on TV much. I like that in spite of the fact that she has more money than 99% of people, she can be real. My mom once met Oprah. She had been out hiking and walked into my mom’s office and asked to use the bathroom. Even Oprah has to use random bathroom facilities. She was kind and down to earth, according to Mama’Cents.
Right, so this is a food blog. Some might start to wonder since there has not been much food talk, as of late. That’s my fault, but food just hasn’t been super interesting, though I have been hungry as heavens. I think this has to be related to starting a new medication, it is the only thing I can figure out. I am pretty paranoid when it comes to RX drugs, so I always take note of any changes I seem to notice. This feeling of wanting me to chew my arm off, constantly, has to be related to the drug. Nothing else has changed….
In order to avoid chewing off the arm, I have been feeding myself quite often. I have been aiming to incorporate a ton of veggies in this process, because I don’t want to gain weight and I figure no one ever got heavy off of eating veggies. There has been a lot of the beautiful broccoli consumed, because I actually really love it, especially steamed:
I believe (don’t quote me on this) that broccoli is best consumed with a small amount of GOOD FAT, better absorbs the vitamins and minerals. Soo…… humus and broccoli have become very pronounced in the FoodCents house, everyday being paired together and working to fill not only my nutritional needs, but the “I feel like I am eating for 6″ (hey Kate Gosselin) feeling……. Ohhh, I am not eating for anyone other than me, just so there isn’t any wonder.
Speaking of humus, I think I have decided that Tribe is my top choice. While Sabra has the smooth and creamy texture, I like the flavor of Tribe’s offerings the best. On a sidenote, Tribe has a new flavor: Horseradish Humus!!! I LOVE horseradish, so this might be heaven in a tub for me. Has anyone seen this flavor around? Maybe the Humus Fairy (yes, there is one…) will swoop into my local market in the weeks to come. A girl can dream, right?
TIP: This is the best time of the year for coupons, in the circulars. It may very well be worth your time and however much a Sunday paper costs these days (I just pay for a yearly subscription, because I need the paper – I am old-fashioned like that) to get some good coupons. I am not promising coupons for the more obscure items you see floating around the blogosphere, but rather essential items. Hello toilet paper? C’mon, we all need it….. Anywho, keep any eye out for the coupons coming out in the next couple of weeks. Even better, some of the items you find (again, hello toilet paper or say baking goods) coupons for are also going to be on sale this time of the year. You should proudly take advantage of this reality and go save yourself a few bucks or even more. (Even better if your grocery store doubles coupons up to $1.00…) Get your savings on!!!
This is a random post, but I am a random kind of gal’ and sometimes you just need to talk about coupons, Oprah, humus and feeling the need to chew your arm off. I am sure someone can relate…… anyone? 
Happy almost Friday!!! Find something to laugh about in you day, it really makes it much more beautiful.
Hmm…I wonder if Oprah is looking for a replacement?
I think broccoli is my favorite food of all time. But you probably could have guessed!
