This week, I had you guys eating good. We had some seriously indulgent Almond Joy Fudge, but we balanced it out with a low-cal Mini Broccolini Ricotta Frittata. That makes it okay, right? In case you need a refresher on all of the tasty bites we took at Smart Cookie…
Let’s Review, Shall We?
- Almond Joy Fudge
Super creamy, rich, and no candy thermometer required!
- Chickpea, Spinach, & Feta Marinara with Penne
Nutritious & delicious, this is a major step-up from boring spaghetti and marinara.
- Mini Broccolini Ricotta Frittata
Personal-sized, packed with ricotta cheese, and under 200 calories!
- Gooey Reese’s Banana S’mores Bars
This takes classic s’mores over the top by bringing together chocolate, PB, and banana.
- Skillet Pizza Monkey Bread
Finger-lickin’ good pizza monkey bread topped with gobs of cheese & baked in a skillet.
Plus, I dished out a brand new video to show you how to make that easy & decadent Almond Joy Fudge. In case you missed it, check it out below! And if you subscribe to my Youtube channel, you’ll get to watch my new videos a day before everybody else! That’s like a backstage pass. I’m so good to you guys.
However, I have to admit that I lied in last week’s edition of The Weekender. In my defense, I didn’t do it intentionally. You see, ever since I introduced you to the stray cat that hangs out around my house, I told you it was a female. As it turns out, I made a bit of a miscalculation. The cat has…man parts. And thus,I would like to properly re-introduce you to my new best friend: Thor.
I chose the name partly because I love the Avengers and partly because he just looks like a Thor. My progress with getting him to warm up to me has been slow, but I’ve been making progress all the same! He’s at the house almost all day, everyday. Thor is practically a member of the Smart Cookie Family.
Speaking of members of the Smart Cookie Family, my mother took me for our annual Wegman’s trip this past Friday. I picked up all kinds of delicious goodies. Of course, I grabbed one of my favorite sugar cookies. This one was shaped like a turtle!

I also finally got around to picking up some of their reusable shopping bags. I’ve been meaning to buy some for forever now. But more on that and all the other awesome eats I uncovered at Wegman’s coming this week!
In the meantime, be ready for a brand new video on Tuesday.
