Bars, Books and All of the TV Shows

It’s Sunday, so of course I am here to give you the low-down on my latest adventures. This week wasn’t too exciting, but I have made it my goal to always try one new adventure every week. That way, I don’t become too boring of a blogger. This week it was Teaspoon Café. They have too locations. I think the first location is more of a restaurant. I went to the one near the UofA. It’s a cute coffee and boba shop. Their iced tea earned my stamp of approval. This would be a good place to study or play a game. They have a different board game on every table. I can’t wait to go back and tried their chai milk tea. I have been thinking about the chai milk tea from Boba Tea Company ever since I tried it, and Teaspoon is the only other place I’ve seen it.

Speaking of games, I wanted to tell you about one of my all-time favorite games: Rewordable. It’s a great travel game and quiet enough to play when out in public. It’s like scrabble with cards, but you can steal each other’s words.

I decided to switch up my grocery routine this week and try Sprout’s. Overall, they had everything I needed. However, I was disappointed about their almond butter selection. The ones I saw were too expensive, so today I stopped my Trader Joe’s to pick up my favorite almond butter. Sprout’s also didn’t have my favorite pumpkin spice RX bars. Trader Joe’s to the rescue again!

I did try two new flavors of RX bars this: PB & J and Blueberry. Surprisingly, the PB & J was not my favorite. I did enjoy the blueberry one though.

On my smoothies this week I have been eating the homemade granola from Sprout’s. It is pretty tasty. From Sprout’s I also picked up a bag of Alexia’s curly sweet potato fries. I liked these better than the brand’s regular sweet potato fries, but not as much as their waffle fries. I like to make half the bag at a time and eat them throughout the week with my salads.

Earlier in the week I had tried the coconut Greek yogurt with almond granola from Trader Joe’s. The granola was my favorite part. When I was at Trader Joe’s today I looked to see if they sell bags of the granola separately, but I didn’t see it. It would be great on a smoothie! If you haven’t figured it out yet, I love toppings on my smoothies.

I bet Raisin Nut Bran would make a great topping for my morning smoothie. It is one of my favorite cereals, along with Cinnamon Life, Frosted Mini Wheats and Honey Nut Cheerios. I pretty much love any and all cereals. I made the mistake of allowing myself to buy Raisin Nut Bran this week. Usually I don’t allow myself to buy cereal, because I will eat through any box of cereal within a couple of days. That’s just what happened this last week!

Something else that I went through pretty quickly this week was the Pumpkin Rolls from Trader Joe’s. They are similar to refrigerated cinnamon rolls. I always loved those cinnamon rolls as a kid. Such a sweet treat for breakfast. These Pumpkin Rolls did not disappoint!

From Trader Joe’s I also picked up a jar of the low sugar blueberry preserves. I have been eating them on my Trader Joe’s gluten free waffles this week for breakfast.

This morning I finished watching The Haunting of Hill House. I was hesitant to start watching the show, because it looked pretty scary. I decided to watch the episodes in the morning, so that anything scary would be out of my mind by bed time. It’s a great show, and not too scary. It’s pretty creepy though and there are some sad parts.

Now I am watching Riverdale. I had watched the first episode previously and didn’t feel like continuing watching, but after so many people recommending the show I decided to give it another try. I am glad I did!

Another show I watched recently was The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix. If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend you start! It’s definitely darker than I expected and completely different than Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but I really enjoyed it.

I have been enjoying the fall weather and I have been trying to spend some time outside. Udall park is close to my house so instead of going to the gym, I have been walking around the park.

While I am not binging Netflix shows, I have been reading The Bear and the Nightingale. It is pretty interesting so far.

For dinner last night I had Pho at Miss Saigon. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Tucson. I crave it at least once a month.

I know this post has been a little bit all over the place, but I wanted to make sure I shared all of this week’s highlights with you.
