So. Effing. Tasty. This was so much more simple than I thought it would be. I’m never buying granola again (yeah right), but still…I know what I like in my cereal so why wouldn’t I make it to my exact specifications? Right? My favorite things: 1. Clusters – textural variety is the most important part of cereal, oats, granola…shoot any food! 2. Crunch – none of this raw muesli bullsh!t, I want toasty! 3. Dried fruit and nuts – not one or the other, both. 4. Ratios – I like it when there are even… Read more >

Just wanted to let you know what is coming your way… Any guesses? I haven’t forgotten about my alphebruary challenge…I’m just behind in recipe sharing. This “q” treat, however, is VERY worth the wait. I know everyone was wondering how those weird letters were going to be – particularly q, w, x, and z. But shockingly, these haven’t even been my biggest obstacles. There are some surprisingly letters (i, o, u – for instance) with minimal food options. Damn vowels aside, I knew from day one of this month’s adventure that my q dish was… Read more >

When my alarm goes off in the morning, I get up immediately. I never hit snooze. Ever. So yesterday it went off at 4:25 am and I popped out of bed ready to start my day the best way I know how. However, after 46 seconds (give or take a few), I quickly came to the conclusion that working out was a bad idea. My head was a throbbing mess and my eyes were all puffy. [I have since discovered that I’m slightly allergic to the gorgeous bouquet Kyle got me for Valentine’s Day] So… Read more >

And all that mushy LOVE stuff. Right? 🙂 Truth be told, I’m pretty neutral on the whole Valentine’s thing…love it, hate it, love to hate it, whatever! I think it’s cliché either way you look at it. Side note: I used to think Valentine’s was so lame, so for the first two years that Kyle and I were dating I wouldn’t go out with him on the 14th because I just felt so hypocritical changing my tune once I had a BF. This year, I consciously requested the day off of work, but I still… Read more >

…and a dollar letter short. I’ll be back with the alphebruary eats later (g and h happened but my energy needs to be higher to share the deets). Work eats, however, don’t call for much brain power. I’m not saying they were mindlessly dull…but I kinda am ;) Kidding! [But they were VERY similar] I’ve been on a fruity tooty kick lately. Starting the day with water, Jillian, coffee, coffee, and fruit, fruit, fruit. Because it’s sunny and I’m downing fresh strawberries and blueberries constantly, I feel like next week should be the 4th of… Read more >
