While the weather in Boston is cold and gray today, but my morning has been full of shades of brown. Starting my brown-themed morning was a new flavor of coffee: Hazelnut Creme.
This flavor of coffee smelled de-lic-ious while it was brewing. My apartment still smells like sweet hazelnut! 
Some unintentional mixing of colors turned my oats brown this morning. Canned pumpkin + frozen raspberries & blackberries + Barney Butter = shades of brown.
Coffee bean…
My attempt at chandelier coffee! 
Brown all around!
Ok, enough about brown foods… let’s talk about red foods!
Indulge in Red Foods on Valentine’s Day

Salsa for sure – and strawberries!

Hazelnut coffee is so good!
Tomatoes, they’re extremely versatile.
I’m spending Valentine’s babysitting my best friends daughter. It’s the first time she’s ever stayed the night at my house so she’s all excited to “play with the kitties” and I’m going to help her make cupcakes. Or at least, help her make a mess.

My first thought when thinking about the red food was RED HOTS! LOL I haven’t had those in so long and I just remembered that I eat strawberries and apples almost daily, so I guess those are my favorite healthy reds.

I agree with the salsa/stawberries lovers out there!
Cooking a special breakfast, then hopefully a long workout to compensate
