Cookies and Candy

Judging by the kind of packages that have been arriving at the Hut lately, you’d think that I was celebrating Valentine’s Day a few days early. Indeed, there is an abundance of cookies and candy up in herr. Check it out:

The lovely people at Hershey’s, HomeFree, and Nutridel have been kind enough to provide me with these goodies so that I may sample and review them for you all. Which one do you think I should sample first?

I’ve been a busy chica today, in need of plenty of re-fueling…

As is typical for Wednesday mornings, I was running behind today…but I’m never in too much of a hurry for breakfast. FYI cottage cheese + pumpkin = bliss.

One of my classes did not meet today, which meant one thing in my book: homemade hummus time, of course. I opted for the tomato basil variety this afternoon.

Thanks to the frigid, windy conditions today, I needed some soul-warming food for dinner. Curry seemed like a wise choice.

Alright, I am off to chillax for the evening. Be back tomorrow bloggigans.

    Hmm, nutridel first – it’s the only one with transparent packaging to see the actual product.. bold move.

    And I’ve never made curry but have always wanted to (and because I’m going to India soon and should probably be familiar with it…ha) do you make the sauce yourself or buy it prepared?

    Ahh…lovely packages, for sure! I’d go right to the dark chocolate if you want something sweet, but the nutridel look and sound intriguing too. Can’t wait to hear all about your reviews.

    I’ve never tried pumpkin and cottage cheese together, but that sounds really good…I need a new can of pumpkin ASAP!

    I’d definitely try those chocolates!!!

14. Christina, on February 11th, 2010 at 8:49 am Said:

    Try the nutridel first! They look the yummiest But that’s possibly just because of the see through packaging lol.

15. Ana, on February 11th, 2010 at 9:09 am Said:

    I vote for the oatmeal cookies for you to try first!! I just love oats anything! – and the cooks look good!
    (I love chocolate too but not hersheys… if it was another brand it would be tough to decide between chocolate and oats!)

    kidney bean curry just sounds gross- but yours looks AMAZING! I would totally eat it if you made it but I probably would not choose a kidney bean curry off of a menu…

    hershey’s samples?!? yummmm

    They were nice enough to send me two of the Nutridels a couple months ago, and even though I don’t do sweets, I LOVED LOVED them both. Wish they sold them here!
    Hope you enjoy!
