Friday Favorites

by Matt on June 8, 2012

Sadly, it’s been MONTHS since I’ve done a Friday Favorites post!

Life has been filled with some pretty great things lately, so hopefully I can keep the Friday Favorites posts alive. If not, oh well…

Smoked Goat Cheese

Goat Cheese

I found this at Whole Foods a few weeks ago and it’s basically amazing. It reminds me of the applewood smoked goat cheddar that I used to buy all the time, but it has a softer texture and the flavor is tangier.

It’s really good crumbled on a salad or stirred into some scrambled eggs!

Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Crackers

Crackers

I’ve been eating these daily since Monday (with a little peanut butter of course). For some reason, I always choose crackers over chips. Maybe it’s because I can dip them in something? Or top with them cheese? Yeah, that must be it.

My Baby

Car

DUH.

So I’m basically obsessed with my car. I may or may not get up in the middle of the night to check on it…

Kidding. I just look out the window.

Flax Milk

Flax Milk

I actually received a free coupon to review this product about 6 months ago, but they just now started carrying it at my Whole Foods. Sadly, my coupon was expired.

I’m glad I still bought it! It’s not as good as my vanilla almond milk, but it’s a close second and will remain in my non-dairy milk rotation. Am I the only one that has one of those?

Island Coconut K-Cups

Coffee

Yep, I’m one of those lazy people that has a Keurig. No shame.

I’ve always loved all things coconut and I was really excited to stumble upon this limited edition flavor while I was ordering my last shipment of coffee.

One word: yum.

What are you loving this week?

I’m not familiar with flax milk. That’s a new one for me! The smoked goat cheese is new too. I’ll look out for that today at the store.

yes to having a non-dairy milk rotation! dairy milk sadly does awful things to my stomach so I bounce around between almond milk (vanilla unsweetened ftw!), hemp milk, and soy milk – that flax milk looks legit though, I’m going to start searching for it at my WF! Agreed on the cracker vs. chips front too. I feel like crackers are more substantial and you can make cracker sandwiches out of them with cheese. chip-sandwiches don’t work quite so well hah.

Nice car! :D Also that goat cheese sounds amazing. I just tried a rosemary goat gouda at WF this week and it was so good!

This week I’m loving farm fresh eggs, reading a Year in Provence, and buckwheat oatmeal flax bread.

Keurig does not equal laziness, but efficiency. I think love that goat cheese – I love all the smoked cheeses I’ve tried and you can never go wrong with goat cheese. Have a great weekend!

Hmm. I need to be on the lookout for that milk. I always buy vanilla almond milk but sometimes it would be nice to change it up. Maybe I will start a “non-dairy milk rotation”. lol. :)

This week I am really into pumpkin seeds, particularly mixed in with popcorn :)

Alright, so basically I need to find the hickory smoked goat cheese and sweet potato+cinnamon crackers ASAP. They sound delicious… Together. Happy Friday!

I missed these posts and also love everything in this one! Your car is super hot, I don’t blame you for being obsessed with it. I had no idea that flavor of crackers was out but I need it ASAP. Same with the goat cheese holy MOLY. I bet it is dynamite in your eggs. I judge K-cups and Keurigs but would totally try that flavor just because it intrigues me and is so summer-y.

I just saw those crackers and was hesitant to pick them up, but now I might need too.

flax milk… interesting. I haven’t heard of it yet. I’m guessing some omega 3s, but what are the ingredients?

I have been going through goat cheese like crazy lately. It’s been all about goat cheese + egg + smoked salmon + spinach wraps. So good!

Sweet wheels, too. :)

Okay, food eye candy ALL OVER. The CRACKERS, THE FLAX MILK, AND THE COFFEE!!! All look so, so, so awesome.The flax milk STILL hasn’t turned up in my Whole Foods…only the sweetened variety, which I’m not a fan of. I’m on the hunt!

The Keurig is GREATNESS!!! It just tastes better coming out one fresh cup at a time. I have recently tried a Coconut Mocha and a Chocolate Covered Donut flavor. Both are delicious!!!
