You may notice something different about the start to my day…no coffee?!? Kyle and I were trying hard to stomach the rest of the bag of our most recent Starbucks blend (extra bold Gold Coast)…but there is a time and place for being green. And suffering through bad coffee is NOT a compromise I’m willing to make. We got this bag a few days ago, and neither of us have been finishing our AM java since, so what’s the point? Instead of feeling guilty over wasted grounds, I opted for a warm cup of tea… Read more >

So, today’s breakfast must have been subconsciously inspired by the Superbowl, since I had a super bowl of oats followed by another super bowl of soy yogurt with figs and raisins. 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. Carob covered raisins are amazing to add in to oats because they melt and you are left with a bowl of raisins along with a slight “chocolate” flavoring to your oats. … Read more >

Hooray! The internet people fixed our connection thingy for real now. Can you tell how tech savvy I am with that intelligent computer language…Anyways, fingers crossed, we won’t have any more days without access to the outside world. Phew! (Since it is snowing and I’m cooped up in the apartment, I associate the internet with the “outside”) I started the day off with a mug of frothy vanilla coffee and big bowl of oats. Gotta love me some Bob’s Red Mill organic whole grain oats 🙂 I had about 1 1/2 cups and added in… Read more >

Top of the morning! Well, this morning I woke up because I couldn’t breathe (nose clogged, throat sore). Not the best way to start the day. The good news was that I could buy the new B Spears cd (hooray for healthy Britney) and enjoy it during breakfast. Since I am mega sick, I thought I would give my body a big breakfast to fight off the infection (I am supposed to work tomorrow). I’m not a big breakfast person, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I finished a lot of containers this morning… Read more >
