Popping Poms

December 20, 2010

I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning – there is something about a Monday that just does not make me happy to get up.  I cracked open a pomegranate I have had on my counter for a few weeks and added the arils to a bowl of cereal this morning.  I [...]

November 23, 2010

On Sunday I broke into my first pomegranate of the season.  It isn’t too time consuming and the rewards are worth it. Today I used my pomegranate arils to top a bowl of cereal – Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Kashi Island Vanilla, good ole Cheerios and a banana.  I am hoping today will be quiet at [...]

Sweet Potato Macaroni ‘n’ Cheese Pasta Salad

September 14, 2009

This morning while cleaning up my breakfast, I was already starting to feel snacky.  Not a good sign.  In case my snacky feelings continued, I decided to bring in some Cheerios.  I feel like a little kid, but these really do the trick.  Not too bad nutritional and calorie wise and you can munch on [...]
