Ok, so I made the granola bars today! They are pretty good and 100% addictive. I did a lot of chopping. Almonds, apricots, I even chopped up a few chocolate chips… Mixed the apricots, almonds with granola and brown rice cereal. I heated up the almond butter and agave on the stove top until they…… Continue reading Granola Bars…
… I just got home from a trip to the market. My mom needed mayonnaise. My sister requested her favorite salt and vinegar potato chips. I needed brown rice cereal for the Bittman granola bar recipe. We also needed pickles. Such a weird list. I stuck to the list, thankfully. All of this came to…… Continue reading A Trip to the Market
I am going to try these granola bars soon. I was at the grocery store yesterday, and I walked by the granola bars. I picked up a box and read the ingredients. The list was long and complex.

Actually, the whole point was that I was…… Continue reading Winter Smoothie

This week has been really hard for me. I am trying my best not to get a cold (loading up on vegetables,…… Continue reading Today is [sort of] like Friday…
Happy Friday everyone. I cannot decide if this week has seemed long or short. There were days when I couldn’t believe it was ‘already Wednesday’ but then there were definitely a few times when I remember thinking, “how is it not Friday yet?” I celebrated the arrival of Friday morning with a cinnamon scone: Wednesday…… Continue reading A TGIF Scone…
It does not get better than this! I have had such a relaxing day. I slept in just a bit (9 o’clock is awesome considering I wake up at 5:45 during the week). Mark and I walked to one of our new weekend hangouts, our neighborhood Seven Stars: This Seven Stars is especially cool -…… Continue reading A Relaxing Sunday…
This morning I could not get up. My alarm started going off at 5:45 AM. The same time it goes off every week day morning. It is pitch black at that time.
