That's so GRANOLA

Allo poppets!

So today I tried a new breakfast. I hate breakfast but this is something I may start eating, because it didn't feel too breakfasty. Like pancakes. Or bacon. Which are both good. Just not for breakfast.

I had strawberries, 2 little yogurt cups of Activia light vanilla yogurt, and GRANOLA. The little plastic container with my writing on it says "organic granola flax seed" so I'm assuming I wanted to save space in our teeny pantry and wrote that on a little plastic bin and stored it away.

I usually don't eat yogurt. It tastes too healthy. So I'll have cheese instead. Love me some cheddar. But since I've cut out dairy ENTIRELY (not too thrilled about that), I have to eat yogurt. Which I don't think is dairy.

OMG is it dairy???

Anyway, I piled high the yogurt with freshly sliced strawberries in a pretty little handmade ceramic bowl that my mom gave me, and sprinkled in some granola. Here, see for yourself.

But THEN. I tasted and saw that the Lord is good (and so is granola) and did this.

I flat out dumped the rest of the granola into the bowl, mixed it all together, and then picked out some seeds from the pantry and threw them in too. Roasted pumpkin seeds? Sunflower seeds? Sure. Why ever not? If I can't eat a whopping grilled cheese sandwich right now, I guess this will do.

No but it was good. Delicous. And healthy tasting at the same time. I may have to ask Jer's mom where she got that organic granola. But it HAS to have the flax seed. Best part.

Geez. I'm so granolaaaaaa I should move to Berkeley.

Then, energized from my new breakfast that follows the anti-INFLAMMATORY diet, or as I now call it "the AWESOMENESS diet", George and I went for a long walk. He got in plenty of sniffs and tinkles (I lost track after 32...how can a dog mark THAT much territory, there were no drips coming out at the end?!) and I took a few photos playing around with my very first iPhone!

Then we took a little side street on our way home and stumbled upon this fantastic gem.

It's very Secret Garden. I love how the ivy covers up the numbers by the door. And the old brick and wood. I want to live there and host tea parties in my little ivy abode.

SIGH.

Then, I snapped a photo of this flower sculpture that I walk past at least twice a day but felt like I noticed for the first time, today...does that ever happen to you? (I think it's made from aluminum.)Thought I'd leave you with this pretty flower for Valentine's Day!

XOXO and Happy Valentine's DAY!
