iHungry Spaghetti Tacos

Hey guys!

Tonight's meal may freak you out (and no your blog mistress didn't pick it out, ha.). Wow not the best sentence to start this out with, eh? No worries though, I've tried this recipe before and it's pretty damn tasty. From our fave foodie Hungry Girl we bring you a recipe she adapted from her hubby's tv show iCarly. If you have any kiddos, nieces, nephews, know any kiddos, or you're a big kid like me you've seen the show on Nickelodeon. On said show Carly makes these things called spaghetti tacos. While the name is odd at best this dish is quite unique and great tasting. So let go and try it out.



Here's what you'll need:

Tid Bits:
*None tonight guys

Ma's Spot: I have to say when Dinah told me she made these I thought my goodness what has she done now? She has gone overboard. I have to say she hit it out of the park again. I'm glad I picked this to do for the blog. I said it before and I will say it again. All hail to the queen Hungry Girl! I love the fact it has Morningstar Crumbles and whole wheat pasta. It really has a taste that is out of this world. So if you're looking for a budget friendly and healthy dinner that doesn't take a lot of time this is the one for you. So freak your family out and make them some spaghetti taco's.



SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which are not.
Let's get to this week's pick:

WW Points: *9 for 1/2 cup


Dinah: Finally after searching for half a year we found the Ben & Jerry's Cannoli ice cream! So let me be the first to tell you how epic the taste is. The ice cream itself is smooth and tastes just like mascarpone and having the bits of chocolate covered cannoli shells made it stellar. I was in love....until I looked at the nutrition facts. Don't hold me to this but I think my mouth dropped to the floor. For 1/2 cup it's 9 points. REALLY?? Thanks Ben and Jerry for ruining my buzz. How can something so delicious be so many points? Oh that's right cause they wanna be mean lol. Although it's a fab ice cream it just wasn't meant to be. I felt the connection but my waste line didn't. *sigh* breaking up is hard to do. :/


Ma: I love Ben and Jerry's ice cream. This I found was very rich, creamy, and delicious but here's a shocker for you guys who know I am an ice cream freak. I will not buy this again. Why you ask? Although it was one of the best ice creams I have ever tried it was way too much calories, fat, and sugar. If you do wanna try it I say go for it but be advised to look at the nutrition label.


And that's all for tonight folks. We'll be back here in 7 days to share another pick with you. Have a great week guys!
