Nicaragua Segovia coffee

I made some “berry” yummy oats with the last of my bag of stove top oats:

1 cup of water
1/2 cup of oatmeal

1 cup of frozen mixed berries
sprinkle of dark chocolate chips

I also completed by taste test of my last bag of Boston Common Coffee, Nicaragua Segovia.  [...]

Skidmore vs. Babson

I scarfed down a quick bowl of Annie’s macaroni and cheese before heading to Babson College to watch my brother play hockey.

My little bro plays for Skidmore College (green team).  He’s #12.  My mom caught this shot of his pass for an assist.  Skidmore beat Babson College 4-3.

We waited around for Matt to get out [...]

Holiday Vacation

I feel like such a bad blogger.  I’ve been on vacation since 12/23.  First I was at my parents’ house in Blackstone, MA and now I’m in NY with Jared’s family.  It’s been hard to find time to exercise and to post regularly.  And I promise I’ve been reading blogs!  I just haven’t had time [...]

To properly test these beans, they were ground [...]

Oats in a Jar

1 cup of water
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 tablespoon of blueberry flax seed
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 heaping tablespoon of blackberry jam

These oats were amazing for [...]

Food Coma

Black Friday….

Boston Common Coffee (fun review to come) in an awesome Arrested Development mug and a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese.

My Lunch…
No, no really!  Haha.  I forgot to take a photo, but my lunch was 1/2 the size of my Thanksgiving platter of food.  Just as delicious as yesterday!
We relaxed ALL afternoon.  Watched TV, [...]

Overnighter

When I got home from work, there was a letter addressed to me sitting in the mail slot.  Nasoya sent some coupons to me so I can sample more of their products.  Hmm, I’m going to go online and check out what to buy when I get groceries later tonight.

I was in a down and [...]
