I’m having a hard time finding enough hours in the day. So today I’m mostly on Russian Bites.
The entire recipe is 56 Points Plus – divide accordingly (I ate 1/7 for 8 points).
In other “news”, I’m having serious cable withdrawals. I’ve been organizing and reading but I’m missing some mindless tv time. Any suggestions? I have netflix but don’t really want to commit to a whole movie most of the time.
Oh and apologies – I forgot to announce the winner of the Better Butter giveaway in my last post. The winner is… drum roll…#56. Michelle please email your address to elina@healthyandsane.com. Congrats!!!

Shut up. I won?!?! SO excited!
Mindless TV is my greatest guilty pleasure, so I would totally miss it! You could try checking different TV channel websites for full episodes. They might not be the newest, but you could catch up.
There are so many great shows available on Netflix instant streaming…hmm. If you’re in the mood for comedy, Parks & Recreation season 2 is a scream. They also have most seasons of the Office on there. As for dramas, they have Veronica Mars right now (which is great).
If you don’t watch Dexter, you should order the series from Netflix or Secret Diary Of A Call Girl or Weeds or Skins!!!
I second Dexter… awesome show!! This was, you can just sit for an episode or two. Another great series is Arrested Development.
Do you like reading magazines? I often do that when I just need a little mindless time.
I do – I also really love the books I have (actually read until almost 1am last night because I couldn’t put it down). BUT, you can’t argue about tv being even more mindless than magazines… no reading required
Check out hulu.com!
We bought apple tv (you can stream all itunes purchases through that) but I just didn’t even know what to look for on there. All these suggestions are great – I’m going to do some research tonight!
netflix streaming TV – there are lots of good comedy TV shows to watch!!
I really don’t know how you gave up cable- I could never do it!!! I’m kinda obsessed with mindless tv- I always have it on. Ive always been like that.. even in hs while doing homework!
Yeah – I keep going back and forth about feeling empowered and deprived. I seriously LOVE mindless tv but I also know I was overdoing it.
I might order some Better Butter- What were your favorite flavors?
The chocolate chip – hands down. I actually kind of got addicted to it over the past week (finished my jar a few days ago)… I ate most of it straight from the jar on top of the muffins I posted about (also am now officially addicted to those!). Hope you like it!
sounds delicious!!
Thank you all for the tv show suggestions!!! I had no idea that 1) those were available through Netflix streaming … or more importantly 2) that those are any good. Keep the show suggestions coming – I’m going to look into all of your favorites tonight and order up a bunch (but I will still limit myself to maybe 1 or 2 a day… no need to start a new addiction
)
yeah i was going to say shows on netflix… totally love veronica mars!!! west wing was good if you didn’t watch that… i like dexter as well, but that’s a little stranger
ooh, alias? reminds me of veronica mars…
We just gave up cable too and I love watching entire seasons of shows I’ve never seen before. Right now my favorite show on Netflix is Weeds. I also watch my old favorites on network sites like abc.com
Oh my gosh I can’t believe I forgot to mention Veronica Mars! And Weeds! They both get votes from me, too. You’ll get over cable withdrawals soon enough; I’ve been without it almost 2 years and I don’t miss it anymore.
Ooo awesome that we all can get a discount—thanks!
I got hooked on WEEDS when I started netflix/cancelled cable. Also, I started listening to the radio a lot more when I cancelled cable. I really like some of the programs on NPR…
yes, I’m aware that I’m a huge nerd
