This morning i was talking oatmeal with my friend Kristin. She is all about adding oatmeal into her breakfast menu now that I have told her how good it is for you. (It’s a super food!) But she wanted me to tell everyone this one tip: If you want your oatmeal to be sort of…… Continue reading A Note on Oats…
Happy Monday morning bloggies! I don’t know about you, but I really dislike Monday mornings. They kind of stink in my book. The entire week lies ahead of you, and one might wonder how they are going to make it through. Well, one day or one hour at a time is my motto on Monday…… Continue reading Monday Morning Surprise
This morning I really wanted to get oats onto the menu for breakfast. . . Ever since I have been sick I have sort of lost the taste for oats, oat bran and oatmeal. I have no idea why! But I know that when you are working out, oatmeal is really good for you. I…… Continue reading Sunday Morning Oats

Do you splurge on food from time to time? Obviously, I do. One of the best things I treat myself to is fresh dairy milk from Whole Foods and the Crescent Ridge Dairy in Sharon, Massachusetts. The milk from this dairy is amazing. It is so fresh and it tastes so good. They make the…… Continue reading Splurge
Oh people… I don’t know what to say. I think this time change and the fact that it is my second week back at work is sort of kicking my butt today. I got up at 5:45 this morning (my body and brain still think it is 4:45 when my alarm goes off on my…… Continue reading Brief
I was starving most of the afternoon at work today. I thought I brought in enough food to work today, I had several containers for lunch: But let’s rewind to breakfast and the early morning hours. I have to say that waking up at 5:45 in the morning after day light savings time is sort…… Continue reading The tale of the nonexistant Larabar…
