Vegas may be a blast, but in my experience, the aftermath is enough to turn you off of the place for at least the next few months. I feel like the door hit me on the way out…and by hit me, I mean knocked me on my a$$. Not one to dwell on the past, I started Monday fresh and clean. No point in wallowing in the pits of (booze-infused) despair. Oatmeal with apples, blueberries, and Sunbutter was the perfect morning meal to get my system back on track. I even went for a run,… Read more >

Monday started bright and early (well, if we are being technical about it, I never went to bed Sunday night…sooo…I guess it started at the stroke of midnight?). Whatever. I got home around 8 am and immediately showered, put on my PJs, and started some oats on the stove. I added a chopped gala to cook with the oats. By the way, this was a pretty hefty batch (in the 2 cup range). Can you believe this bowl was only half the yield? I was feeling crazy so I decided to bust open a… Read more >

Let’s race through the work stuff so we can get to the real story… The lunch stack! Side note: I need eco-friendly, reusable utensils. I’ve been using the same plastic ones day in and day out [actually they are made from corn or some other hippie ingredient, but still, they are most definitely not meant for reuse]. And while I am a fan of this form of recycling, it’s kinda gross. I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t even wash them. I just put them back in my lunchbox once I’m done eating. I’m saving… Read more >

I haven’t had very many interesting things to share. The weather went from shorts and tank-top temperatures to bundle in layers degrees. Don’t you gauge the season by outfits, too? I still fit a 4 mile run in yesterday between stuffing my face with brownies. One, two, buckle my shoe unbuckle my belt… Okay, okay, I didn’t JUST have brownies (as if you’d judge me either way). I had a huge bowl of nearly-spilling-over-the-edge oatmeal. 1 cup whole rolled oats 1 apple, chopped 1/2 cup frozen blueberries dash of cinnamon drip of NuNaturals’ vanilla stevia… Read more >

Rumor has it, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And when you think about it, if such decadent oats (like the almond, cashew & apple packed number above) are my morning baseline, then things are looking pretty good. This bowl makes me want to sing “on top of old smokeyyyy” and I have no idea why. Anyone else remember that song? Hmmm…may need to wikipedia it. Edited to add: On Top Of Old Smoky is about some mountain that may or may not be in the Ozarks or the central Appalachians…but the… Read more >
