Pumpkin, Pomegranate, Soy Nut Butter–OH MY

January 5, 2011

Yesterday’s breakfast did not fill me up.  One bit.  I was STARVING around 10:15 am.  Not good.  Today I decided to add some soy nut butter to my oatmeal in an attempt to keep my belly full for longer – lets see how it works. In my oatmeal was 1/2 dry oats, 1 smashed banana, [...]

Caffeinated Friday

October 1, 2010

Tonight I am going on a retreat with my students to a camp on Cape Cod.  Considering that it is supposed to rain 1-2 inches tonight, camp is sounding less and less appealing.  Grey’s Anatomy took precedence over packing last night, so I woke up a little early to gather myself together.  Late night TV [...]
