-Before my new discovery….cottage cheese.

What are you having for Sunday night dinner?

-I am begging Billy to make burgers for us!

Seriously…how do they do it!??! Hope you have an amazing night with your adorable family!

No March Madness for me- I’ve never really gotten into the whole college football or college basketball. That could be due to the fact that I went to a small liberal arts college that did not have football or compete at any high level. Shalane is amazing! Go Team USA!
I am having salmon with a side of tiny little yell potatoes:-)

I am only into it because Billy is ha:) UM…your dinner sounds incredible!

I like wheat thins with chicken salad

Okay, I need to try that…sounds so good!

Congrats Jenn! My hubby has the bbq warming up right now making burgers too!
I bet some guacamole would be pretty delish with the wheat thins.

Janae March 25, 2012 at 5:17 pm

What time should we be over for dinner;)

Aimee @ See Aimee Run March 25, 2012 at 5:14 pm

I love March Madness! It’s one of my favorite times of year, second only to the MLB playoffs ;) BTW that game was CRAZY towards the end!

I like hummus with my Wheat Thins, but I bet Laughing Cow cheese would be awesome. Can’t help you with the keyboard because I think mine is just as bad…

The hubs and I are about to grill some cheddar brats! DELISH!

Janae March 25, 2012 at 5:17 pm

YUM…that sounds so good. HA, why must we eat and type at the same time:) Hope you are enjoying the games!

Jess @ Blonde Ponytail March 25, 2012 at 5:27 pm

Enjoy your burgers tonight ( I know Billy has to grill some up for you–you can always pull the baby mama card!).

Wheat thins and PB always. But, I find I can’t stop munching on that snack–so good. Have a fund night!

Janae March 25, 2012 at 5:46 pm

HAHAH I use that card way too often. PB with wheat thins…you are a thinker:) LOVED your running ninja outfit on instagram today!

Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More March 25, 2012 at 5:32 pm

I have not watched a single game.

I like Wheat Thins by themselves. I don’t buy them very often. Not really a favorite of mine.

Not sure what dinner will be. Just me tonight. Probably something along the snacks line vs. a real meal.

Reply

Janae March 25, 2012 at 5:46 pm

That is exactly what I do when I am alone for dinner or 10 bowls of cereal:) ENJOY!

Reply

Kristin F. March 25, 2012 at 5:55 pm

That is my VERY favorite snack! Have you tried the Wheat Thin Toasted Chips? Even better :).

Reply

Amanda March 25, 2012 at 5:56 pm

I can only IMAGINE ever breaking 2:00 on a half marathon, much less getting it in less than ONE HOUR!!!

I had cereal for dinner tonight. I needed something light after eating my weight in bad-for-me food all weekend. Also, I eat Wheat Thins totally by themselves, by the handful!

That snack looks great I’ll have to check it out! I’ve been into march madness a little bit because IU was in the sweet sixteen. Now that there out I’m not sure if I’ll keep watching. What’s your favorite team?

Summer T. March 25, 2012 at 6:09 pm

one of my all time favorite snacks…Special K mutigrain crackers, light swiss laughing cow, turkey pepperoni, all stacked, give it a try girl, you may fall deeper in love :)

Bekah March 25, 2012 at 6:12 pm

Wheat thins are forever linked in my mind with a block of cream cheese covered in jalapeno jelly. SO GOOD! Is this just a Southern thing?

Reply

Kristen @ notsodomesticated March 25, 2012 at 6:14 pm

Dinner tonight was lots of leftovers … plus salad, raw veggies, and yogurt. Nothing exciting, but gets the job done!! ;)

Lily March 25, 2012 at 6:15 pm

Those times are RIDICULOUS

Caroline @ After Dinner Dance March 25, 2012 at 6:47 pm

I’ve actually never had laughing cow – I usually just have crackers with cheddar, unless I bought a more special cheese lately.

andrea March 25, 2012 at 6:49 pm

No march madness for me. Not a fan. I am defiantly a fan of Dara. Great video clip.
Sunday dinner was chicken and barley nachos tonight and I ate way too many of them. But I ran a half marathon today so it was ok.

Mallory @ Have Your Cake March 25, 2012 at 7:08 pm

i am LOVING march madness..and winning my office pool! thank you kansas for that :) haha

i love wheat thins….plain, with jelly, with NUTELLA, with cheese…they are just simply amazing!

Sarah Crookston March 25, 2012 at 7:08 pm

I love, love laughing cow cheese. You should try it on delicious hard rolls from costco. You will fall in love.

Sunday dinner = ward potluck. So thankful I didn’t have to cook.

Happy Sunday to you!

Lauren March 25, 2012 at 7:26 pm

I actually looove march madness. I have since I was young and always get into it. It is pretty much the only time I enjoy watching sports on tv. Lots of upsets this year!

My Sunday night dinner was delicious Mexican food with my aunt and uncle visiting from NJ. Great time and great food.

That has totally been my go to snack for months, it is sooooo yummy! Love the pack they sell at Costco!!

Katherine @ Neon Blonde Runner March 25, 2012 at 8:19 pm

Oh I haven’t watched any March Madness, basketball has never captured my attention, perhaps because I’ve never played basketball myself.

Congrats to Jenn!

Wow Shalane is just unbelievable, congrats to her on an amazingly fast race!!

JoJo March 25, 2012 at 8:44 pm

This is really the first year I can remember actually watching a bunch of basketball games during March Madness. Usually I just feel annoyed that it interrupts some of my scheduled programs.

Go Wildcats!

Khushboo March 25, 2012 at 11:23 pm

Oh man I forgot how good Wheat Thins are…I need an assortment of dips for it: cream cheese, peanut butter, hummus and guacamole….oh and u may as well throw in some salsa :)

Charissa Steyn March 26, 2012 at 12:04 am

This is hilarious! I was walking through the store yesterday and saw laughing cow cheese, and I have NEVER bought it before, but for some reason my preggo belly was telling me to, “Buy it!” and it was exactly what i was craving!! I nearly at the whole package in one day!!!!! ;)

Sarah March 26, 2012 at 12:36 am

Can’t wait for Dara Torres Part 3!!! So motivating!!!!

Awesome video!

Julia March 26, 2012 at 4:27 am

Was’t that game AMAZING!!! I’m grew up in Kansas, so clearly I was very happy with the outcome. During the game, I think I was embarrassing my bf cause we were at a quiet bar and yet I kept making a scene whenever KS scored. haha.

Reply

Megan @ Run Like a Grl March 26, 2012 at 6:12 am

Yum, I LOVE skinny cow cheese. Especially the blue cheese one, it really has a good flavor! I put those babies on some melba toast when I’m craving some cheese. In college we had a Costco size of them in our tiny fridge. Like crazy people, we even called the company to ask for free samples that how much we were obsessed (to our disappointment, they don’t give out free samples).

But they are yummy!!!

Coco March 26, 2012 at 6:53 am

I love Dara Torres.. which I’m pretty sure I’ve told you like a million times- but I watched that video last week and she is probably my biggest inspiration. She is so badass! I do like wheat thins- but I would probably say I like them with peanut butter or almond butter.. though add come cream cheese to that and it’s pretty yummy too!

Reply

Sabrina @ Radioactive Runner March 26, 2012 at 7:04 am

talk about running FAST! that’s crazy!
wheat thins with cream cheese is so good (and probably not very healthy) lol.. i haven’t eaten it in years but thanks for reminding me :)

Reply

Jenn S. March 26, 2012 at 7:32 am

I was excited for .001 of a second because I thought I won. :( Congrats Jenn! I love Laughing Cow with Wheat Thins. Try it with the Chipotle Laughing Cow. Life changing!

Reply

Katie @ Running off the 'Ritas March 26, 2012 at 7:35 am

Wheat thins and jalapeno pimento cheese from Whole Foods is my favorite snack in the whole wide world! Unfortunately it isn’t the most healthy snack but I have tried them with the laughing cow wedges and they are pretty good too…and A LOT less calories :)

Reply

Kelsey March 26, 2012 at 7:44 am

DEFINITELY a March Madness fan, who were you cheering for?? I go to KU and come from a family that did, so naturally we all went nuts last night when we won!

Reply

natalie@ southern fit foodie March 26, 2012 at 8:06 am

I haven’t watched much March Madness this year – I didn’t even fill out a bracket! Who have I become?!

Sunday night dinner for me was bean burrito wraps – I used lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. It was awesome!

I used to dip wheat thins into pimiento cheese – it was one of my favorite snacks growing up. Now I’ll dip them into anything – I love dips. Laughing cow is awesome – have you tried the new cinnamon roll flavor???? I found it yesterday and it completely rocked my world!

Reply

Karla @ myhighonlife March 26, 2012 at 8:22 am

She’s been my inspiration since I was a little girl swimming. She’s ripped, beautiful and the definition of talent and dedication.

I am not happy that UNC lost.. I hope Kansas loses to OSU next week or I lose my bracket bet with the boyfriend-I hate losing!

kari @ Running Ricig March 26, 2012 at 8:54 am

Mike eats wheat thins by the box full with hummus, but I can’t really get into them.

Go KU!!! Kansas all the way.
We eat wheat thins with salsa.

I actually like Wheat Thins with guacamole, sorta random but good!

Life's a Bowl March 26, 2012 at 12:16 pm

Oh em gee, I bought a little tub of the light Alouette cheese over the weekend [spinach artichoke flavor] and just want it eat it by the finger-full! It reminds me of a whipped cream cheese mixed with spinach artichoke dip… SO GOOD!

Reply

IDK My BFF Jes March 26, 2012 at 1:47 pm

I wasn’t watching, just checking my bracket standings. I started out strong, but am going to end in deadlast. :(

I love my wheat things: 1. plain, 2. sharp cheddar cheese, 3. velveta & rotel questo, 4. cheese and summer sausage

We (me and my roommate) always grill on Sunday night with our neighbors. This week I had chicken kabobs, asparagus, with a side of baked potato salad. so delish!

Missy March 26, 2012 at 6:42 pm

Okay we are definitely on the same page with the wheat thins and laughing cow cheese, it has become my latest snack addiction too! lol
Great minds think alike!
