[...] may recall Bekah sent me some of her famous granola over the holidays. I LOVED it. I offered Bekah the opportunity to come here and make the granola for me on a regular [...]

Probably a sliced almond or a coconut shaving. Either way, it’s delicious ;)

Amen to a work in progress. I’m still a work in progress and I’ve got a number of years on you (sniff), so I imagine I’ll probably be a WIP for EVER!! Still learning. Still trying. Still failing sometimes and succeeding others.

Miss Beek’s yummies are soooo delish. We are lucky.

Funny, I just commented about how you’re doing well with eating around the bucks as you were concerned about the attack of the killer muffin from years past. But I think that you did the absolute right thing. If you can’t enjoy a fabulous half of a muffin straight out of the oven every once in a while, life would be rather sad. You’re not doing it daily- nor are you eating a whole 500 calorie muffin+. That’s why your blog is the Great Balancing Act!

There was something wildly amazing looking in that granola- huge shavings of something- was that coconut???? Yummmm.

Breakfast looks delish.

I’ve never heard of Vega bars but will have to keep my eye out for them. :)

Once again, you just shared some really wise advice, Susan! I love what you said about not making there be a “end date” to your health. So true! Health is a lifetime commitment!

Oh, and one thing I learned: There is a reason why people avoid too much candy…my teeth is hurting and I think I might have cavities!

I just saw Bekah make Molasses custard oats on her site. Or something kinda close to that…anyway, i am egg allergic so couldnt do the custard thing…but dear god those look AHHH mayzing!!!

Love your q & a sesh, too. I can go without coffee til about 12 noon but am jones’ing for it all day. Then I tend to OVER drink it. Whereas if I just had it at the normal time, I wouldnt have guzzled more than necessary :)

gah, susan. you said it so beautifully – it iS a journey. there is no end, which is why i need to constantly remind myself (like now) that off weeks are going to happen. but its getting back into things and not letting everything slide that is important.

love you, your wrappage, your oatmeal AND the fact you said it was cake disguised as a muffin. i couldn’t have said it better myself :)

have a wonderful day!

Yeah, the Harvey Studios girls said there are about five Santas, two of which are actually fun and jolly. Except the jolly ones have a tendency to “Ho Ho Ho” loudly at random intervals and it always scares the crap out of me!

Funny, when I was a kid, I didn’t believe mall Santas were the “real” Santas either ;)

Great answer to that very common question. It’s such an important part of working through our own personal journeys.

Great looking oats!

Good answer about balancing healthy living and not being alienated. Since I’ve had to quit eating gluten I feel like it would be very easy to alienate myself from friends and cowokers, but I’m making it work!

I wish I could come up with a question. When the time comes to post one I draw a blank! lol! Later I think of dozens.

I love molasses! The other day I was making gingerbread cookies and couldn’t help but sneak a couple tastes! haha
