The weather cracked into the 40s today, time to celebrate! I was so happy when I woke up, it was sunny out and I had the day off to enjoy the nice weather outside. Here’s my morning cup of joe…along with some figs, carob covered raisins, and the crossword. Talk about starting the day off right. Since I woke up earlier than usual, I got hungry earlier than usual, so I made some french toast that I doused in Earth Balance.

I think Bob’s Red Mill is my fave brand of oats now. They are so fluffy, despite being “quick” oats. I added in creamy peanut butter, carob covered raisins, and vanilla soy milk.

And it’s NOT pretty…it may be the worst smell ever. No. It’s definitely the worst smell ever. Yep, I just conducted a study. 9 out of 10 researchers agreed with me (I think the 10th guy was sleeping with the drug rep). I may be off “egg” products for a while because of this… Lunch Same sammie as ayer (bell pepps, “turkey,” greek yog, and hummus) Plus the usual side-kicks, along with a NEWBIE (and new obsession). Dude, figs and carob covered raisins = heaven. Holy yum, talk about a party in my mouth!! I… Read more >
