I am thankful for oats in a jar and loose leaf tea.1/2 cup instant oats cooked stove top with 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 3/4 cup water, 1/2 banana, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves. With the remainders of a Crunch Time Jar, topped with leftover apple-orange cranberry sauce, almonds and honey. The perfect way to start [...]
Thanksgiving 2010 was complete with my favorite things: family, food, and a new canine friend. My mom set a beautiful table, with “harvest” dishes.I went to Starbucks in the afternoon for a cappuccino pick me up. Their red cups make me happy, and I was feeling the holiday cheer. We had dinner early, however; I [...]
Where did the day go? When I finally sat down to dinner at 8pm, I felt like I had nothing to show for my day. I went for a half-hour run and did a few errands, but the majority of the “apartment cleaning” remains. I guess I have all day tomorrow, THANK GOODNESS! Needless to [...]

Topped with blackberries, vanilla granola, honey, coconut [...]
I’m convinced that I belong in France. The land if bread, cheese and wine…I could live off that . During my personal picnic dinner last night (*ahem* lame) I kept alternating between bites of my caprese baguette and berries. It made my heart sing. For lunch (or dinner….I packed 2 meals and can’t decide what [...]
I have been neglecting my cereal boxes (yes…plural…I have 4, don’t judge they each serve a purpose). Don’t get me wrong I love cereal. I could eat an entire box in one sitting, but nothing fills me in the morning like oats, fruit and nut butter. My recent blueberry purchase prompted me to stray from [...]
Well sort of… Good Morning! Good Morning! Good Morning! I am a ball of energy today (clearly) and it’s all because I started off on the right foot. I was wide awake at 5:45am and it was a lovely 64 degrees out. I decided to take advantage of the peaceful morning and go for a [...]
Thank Greenness it’s Friday! Okay…enough with the jokes. Smoothies for breakfast are timeless and refreshing. Especially when you add a few things to pump up the nutrition! I decided to join Kalli at FitandFortySomething, in “Smoothie Friday” with my all time favorite breakfast/post work out smoothie, a cool and satisfying Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana [...]
This morning I had a big ol’ bowl of overnight oats. It has been WAY too hot to make hot oatmeal but cereal and smoothies NEVER fill me like a hearty bowl of loaded oats. I added 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract to my bowl and let [...]
