Where's Willoughby? And A New Feature

Can you find me? I'm wearing a yellow jacket with a red "W" on the back. If you click on the image, you should get a larger view (aaargh! not working, I'm working on it, I'm just not great with HTML).



I've been absent for about a week now, but I haven't actually been hanging out with Waldo. In reality, I've just been busy with some yard work. I hope you didn't miss me too much while I was gone. Wait, no, I take that back. I hope you were checking your computer every ten minutes around the clock for the past week, just waiting for my latest post!

Now that I'm back, I want to start a new feature on my blog. Martha Stewart has her "Good Things" so I'm going to have "Willoughby's Wonderful Things" where I can share some products or ideas that I think are worth mentioning. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it a weekly thing or just surprise you with it from time to time.




To kick off this new feature, I have two wonderful food products to recommend. They are both fairly new to the Willoughby household, but neither is new on the market, as far as I know.

The first is Multi-grain Sandwich Thins from Arnold Select. These things are amazing and make deli quality sandwiches. They're thin and soft and delicious. You can use them as you would bread or buns. At 100 calories with 5 grams of fiber, they're pretty healthy, too. Our local supermarket carries them, but we buy the larger 16 count pack at Sam's Club.
The next item is T. Marzetti Ultimate Blue Cheese Dressing. You can find this in the refrigerated section or produce section of the supermarket. If you like blue cheese salad dressing, you know how much the taste can differ from one brand to the next. So much so, in fact, that my husband never thought that he liked it until he tried this one. It has a smooth blue cheese flavor, with just enough bite. Great on salads, but also delicious on sandwiches.


What do you think of the new feature? If you have any comments about it or products/ideas to share with me, please leave them in my comment section!

Our family LOVES the Arnold Thins too! ... and we get them at Sam's Club too. We put one side inthe freezer and take it out when we need it... which is usually soon with a family of 5! : )
I like the new feature!

Hi - was missing your blogs.
First, I loved Waldo. It was particularly fun after a margarita or two.
Secondly, your "finds" are good. I like that bread for all the reasons you stated.
Have a great wknd!

I haven't seen that bread in my neck of the woods yet but I'll be sure to keep an eye out! Love blue cheese, love that dressing. Good feature!

Welcome Back! I was gone too...working for a change, which is nice.

Arnold Bakery was right near my school and I loved the days they baked the raisin bread. YUM! All their products are first class, I'll have to try these.

Sorry, everyone, I just can't seem to get the picture to enlarge!

I'm glad you all seem to like the "Wonderful" feature. I like to hear about other people's great finds so I thought it would be fun to share a few of my own.

It's Wednesday, Welcome Back To The Cocktail Party!

Welcome to Willoughby's Blog Style Cocktail Party. I hope you will find some new blogs to follow and expand your circle of blog friends. I know you're all anxious to mingle, so I'll get right to it. I'd like to introduce Deidra from Jumping Tandem .  I know you'll enjoy her blog as much as I do. Keeping It Real.... Deidra I'm an East Coast girl living in the midwest because I love my husband (I call him "H" around here) and his work brought us here. We have been blessed with two amazing children (currently in college) and an empty nest that I absolutely love! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids but they're destined to change the world and they can't do that living under my roof (although they're welcome back anytime for love, prayers, support, encouragement, and of course homecooked meals and clean laundry). Did I mention that H is a pastor? So that makes me the pastor's wife - but don't let that blur your vision. H is...

Bugging Out

Spring is such a wonderful time of year.  The birds have returned and greet each morning with their lovely songs.  The tree branches are covered with green buds ready to burst into life.  The grass has shed it's yellow/brown pallor in favor of a lovely emerald.  The air is warm and breezy.  It's all so lovely except for one thing.  The bugs. Because of our nearly uninhabitable climate during the winter months, we don't see many bugs from late October through early April.  I almost forget how much I hate them until they come back.  And they know I hate them so they taunt me.  Ever since the thermometer hit the 60 degree mark, we've had flies congregating around the back porch.  I can't sit out there and enjoy my morning coffee without having them buzz past me. Now, flies I hate, but spiders I absolutely loathe.  Friday morning I walked into the bathroom to dry my hair and spotted what I thought was a bumble ...

How Small Town Is Small Town?

I grew up in the suburbs.  From the house I lived in, you never had to travel more than a mile to get to  shopping malls, restaurants, drug stores or gas stations.  We had multiple movie theaters, bowling alleys, golf courses and a water park. After Mr. Willoughby and I got married, we lived in an apartment in that same suburb for a few years. From there we moved to another suburban area, and then the city.  It was while we were living in the city that we started spending our weekends on country drives and shopping at flea markets and farm stands.   We found ourselves charmed by the small towns with their farmhouses and quaint shops. When it was time to get out of our house in the city, we decided that we wanted to live in the country. It was an adjustment at first.  The closest place to shop (other than Kmart or the supermarket) is 20 miles away.  We have no movie theaters and only a...
