It’s official. I am in a breakfast rut. My oat comeback yesterday must have been a fake out because this morning I was craving a green monster and granola. I wasn’t planning on having ANOTHER smoothie this morning, but when cravings call I answer. This is possibly the most uninteresting breakfast to photograph, and I [...]
I had every intention on making a big beautiful bowl of oatmeal this morning but I was craving a green monster. When I woke up I felt extremely tired and my head was slightly pounding. I needed something that required minimal effort and that was cool and energizing to get me going. I decided to [...]
Today was a day filled with inspiration. At yoga, the instructor’s mother recently passed away and she spent the class reflecting on the way she reacts to difficult situations. She recognized that during tough times she has certain habits that she falls into, and she is able to recognize them and let them be. She [...]
Rain, rain, GO AWAY! I suppose that rain is just a natural part of April, so the saying goes: “April showers bring May flowers.” I have to look at the positive side of rain. YES, it is miserable to walk outside and YES I hate the dark sky, but with rain comes growth and beauty. [...]
Among my, lets call it ’5′ , different types of breakfast cereals sits an almost full bag of muesli. I made this purchase a few months ago and have only used it once. I have a month left of school, and decided it was time to start liquidating my supply. Today I made a very [...]
Happy Lick-Your-Almond-Butter-Jar-Clean Day Friday. Remember that almost empty jar I pictured yesterday? Well, I made sure to put it to good use today with Oats In a Jar! I have done this before with overnight oats, however; putting warm stove-top oats in a jar makes for an infinitely better melty-almond experience. I used my standard [...]
I started today a little bit off routine. I’m a creature of habit, so when I wake up late I feel rushed and unbalanced. It was almost 9am and I still needed to pack, shower, get ready, and more importantly HAVE BREAKFAST! I wasn’t very hungry this morning or in the mood for anything particular [...]
Maybe it’s just me, but my daily food choices are DEFINITELY inspired by the weather. Reflecting on some of my daily eats, I realized that certain flavors and textures are more appealing to me based on the temperature. It was gorgeous and sunny around lunch time, and all I wanted was either a loaded salad [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! I felt that it was necessary to start my day off with something green in honor of today. A Green Monster in a Green Bowl and topped with Galaxy Vanilla Almond Granola (aka my new love…but I’ll get to that in a moment.). In to the blender went: 3 ice cubes, [...]
A foodie in a natural food store is like a kid in a candy shop: a recipe for disaster. My local grocery store has an organic section where I can purchase most of my goods, but they have a limited selection. I have been reading/hearing about products like Chia Seeds and Coconut Butter, and have [...]
