Mmmmm! Thank you :)
I went vegetarian a while ago, and am always looking for good stuff like this to add to my life.
my neighbor gave this to my other neighbor who is painting my house. They pulled out these individual packages while we all were scraping the house. I was blown away. So I ask mom to run across and get the recipe ... and it seems word had traveled because everyone was over there for the recipe. Mom later ran into most of the neighbors at the grocery store also buying the "makings" ') I am not really a "healthy" eater, so I am thinking this will be a good change for me in the morning! Let me know what you think.
I'm on a granola kick right now, so I thinkz I'mz going to tryz this!
Oh does that look good. I love granola-my family doesn't. Good-more for me! They refer to it as sticks & twigs. What do they know?
When Thor dies (not that it's happening anytime soon, but...) can I come live with you?
I just ate some that Kim brought into work (thank you! b/c I forgot my breakfast this am!). As my dad would so eloquently say "If this were on top of your head, your tongue would beat you senseless trying to get to it"
