Granola

Applesauce Granola

February 23, 2012

I love granola.  The crunchy texture makes it so desirable to top a bowl of yogurt, a smoothie or even some oatmeal.  Typically I buy my granola (Cascadian Farm Oat and Honey Granola) which is one of the few granolas I have found that doesn’t have ingredients I am allergic to which is pretty much [...]

May 15, 2011

Matt and I decided to go our separate ways for breakfast this morning – he wanted eggs and I didn’t.  Digging through our fridge, which really needs to be cleaned out, I found an Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt that was about 1/3 way full.  To the yogurt I added sliced bananas, strawberries and granola.  Plus [...]

I was able to register for my class this morning – hooray- that’s one big thing off my to do list.  I arrived at work to discover an email box that had exploded while I was gone.  I have been working my way through it – slow and steady.  I hope to get through everything [...]

I Think I Can…I Think I Can

November 24, 2009

This morning I set my alarm to get up and go for a run.  Unenthusiastically, I peeled myself from the comfortable bed and managed to run 5.25 miles.  I felt like Shannon running her 1/2 marathon – this run was a lot of hills.  I kept telling myself “if Shannon can do it, I can [...]
