Man...This week blew by! I am not complaining, not in the least! I am excited to say two words to you all. HAPPY FALL!!! It is officially fall and I am already in the mood for some festive activities. I cant wait. I am going to start out this morning with a review. The reason why this review is just right for this post is because I actually started out my morning with this 
product. Barry's Bakery sent me some of their french twists and I couldn't be more excited. These babies with a big ol cup of coffee is just the perfect start to a morning. I think these are brilliant because they are only 30 cals a piece. Food that you can feel good about is what I am all about!

I think these are brilliant because they are only 30 cals a piece. Food that you can feel good about is what I am all about! Layers of Cinnamony sweet puff pastry. Each Weight Watchers approved Twist is only 60 Calories and Low Fat. French Twists have NO Cholesterol, Butter, Eggs, Yeast or Dairy. Just Great Taste! 
Check it out! I got all the flavors that they offer and I gotta say, they all taste great!

Just like me, many Americans suffer from health problems that require them to give up the foods they love. Many of the foods that fall into that category are snack foods that are not acceptable to those of us on special diets or watching our weight. It is for that reason that I created French Twists.
Back in 1989, I suffered a major heart attack, followed by bypass surgery, all at the young age of 42-years old. Needless to say, my entire life changed. I was now on a strict exercise program and had a number of dietary limitations—one of those being “no sweets!” For a sweet lover like me, this diet was extremely difficult to maintain.
Like many people, I found my new dietary regimen rather staid and boring, there was nothing on store shelves that provided the sweet flavors I craved without the guilt that went along with them. So, I set out to develop a great tasting snack that would keep me within the parameters of my Hearth Heart healthy eating plan—without guilt! After much experimentation I finally developed the winning combination of great taste, crunch and the perfect sweetness that satisfied my neglected sweet tooth. My new creation, which I called “French Twists,” fit in perfectly with my new healthy eating plan. Each French Twist is only 60 calories a serving (just 1 point on the Weight Watchers point scale) and contains no dairy, butter, cholesterol, eggs, yeast or sodium. They also proudly wear the OU kosher designation.
Finally, I had the magic recipe I had been striving for; layer upon layer of puff pastry, sprinkled with sugar (made from beets) and cinnamon. I proudly indulged and offered them to unsuspecting family and friends—wondering—would they like these snacks as much as I do? Well I got my answer when everyone who tried French Twists inquired into what stores they could find them in, and, if I’d make them a batch after they learned created the recipe from scratch.
So this creation became a family business, with everyone playing a role in their production. We decided to call our company Barry’s Bakery, and set up our first manufacturing facility, the family garage. Since then we’ve move into larger and larger facilities, based on demand. Recently we moved our manufacturing facility to Tolleson, Arizona where there was more room to accommodate the ever-increasing demand for French Twists.

Gotta love a good story. Please go to their site!!! They have some pretty amazing products!
Thanks Barry! I give you guys two thumbs up!
So this morning after my twists and my coffee I got a little work done before my stomach started talkin to me!
I had to go back for more coffee (shhhh) and then went for this! Are you ready for some food porn???
This just may be the best bowl of oats to date. Pumpkin oats for my introduction to Fall! I mean....Look at that bowl! It was as goooooood as it looked. Trust me! Almond butter, egg whites (to make it fluffy), unsweetened almond milk, banana, pumpkin and some stevia and I was in business. Today I have decided that it is going to be a rest day for me. I need it. I am going to just have a good day of eats and be done with it! A girl needs a good rest day every once in a while! For lunch it was this!
Boca Burger and a salad. I LOVE pickles so I had a few with it. I also had some un pictured snacks! Sorry! I had some raw cashews, a raw bell pepper dipped in spicy mustard and two squares of dark chocolate...Dinnah is next peeps and it 
is a good one! Oh yeah! I am totally going to take advantage of the fall produce and did just that with my food for tonight. Steamed chicken with diced acorn squash, red cabbage, tomato, onion, carrot, cilantro and curry spices over a bed of organic, local spring mix. This was just the colorful dinner that I needed. I also had a fantastic glass of red organic Malbac wine! Yum! Well folks this is my post for today...I managed to get in some great eats and a great review! See you tomorrow for FRIDAY!
Gotta love the sound of that!
