Finding Radiance

Back on the homemade granola wagon!  We had been buying some boxed stuff, and I had received granola from Attune (which I can’t get locally…booo).  I was enamored of the little chips in the Attune granola and wanted to try to recreate this at home.  One thing that I don’t like about granolas, though, is [...]

Did you all remember to change your clocks?  It actually made me sleep a little bit later, but not by much.   Started off Sunday and the beginning of the work week with the glorious bagel! Trail mix with cream cheese.  I decided not to bring my own cream cheese/protein powder mix today and just have [...]

This granola has a nice chocolatey flavor and 5 grams of protein per 1/2 cup!  I used whey protein powder for this. If you use a soy, you might need a little more liquid. Ingredients: 2 cups Rice Krispies 2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup (25 g) sliced almonds 4 tablespoons of coconut 2 tablespoons [...]

Today was the start of my work week!  Had good productivity, so I actually finished up early.  Yay! The day started with our Sunday bagel and paper reading: No exercise today since it is a complete rest day for me.  Still hard for me to do these days. Here is the granola recipe that I [...]

Today was a good eating day. Good thing because yesterday wasn’t. Pretty stressful around here. Finally today we have hot water again, thanks to a new hot water heater (even though the ‘old’ one was less than 4 months old.) There are those days that just aren’t good, and laughing at it isn’t an option. [...]
