Greatest Day and MixMyGranola Giveaway
Today is the greatest day of the year! Happy Marathon Monday!!! 
Marathon Monday, as it is affectionately called in Boston, is my favorite day of the year! I absolutely love it! 
Personally, I think Boston is an unfriendly and cranky city from November – March (maybe it’s just me?), but when Marathon Monday rolls around in mid-April, the city comes alive! Everyone is in such a great mood and the lively, holiday atmosphere (specifically along the marathon route) is like no other day– you can feel the crowd’s enthusiasm for the thousands of runners making their way to the finish line. This single day reminds me why I like living in Boston.
Boylston Street– close to the finish!
Hopkinton– near the start of the race.
Mal and me at the 2007 Boston Marathon.
Later this morning, I’m heading downtown to a Marathon party near the finish line… and, of course, to cheer on the runners. Good luck to Becca and Bobbi, who are running the Boston Marathon today!!!
Breakfast
I made a wonderful bowl of oats this morning, but I was more interested in snapping photos of my daffodils than I was breakfast!
 |
 |
Don’t daffodils just scream SPRING!?!
In the mix today: oats, wheatberries, ground flaxseed meal, vanilla hemp milk, peanut butter Puffins, and peanut butter. What a mix of goodies! I think the only thing that would have made this bowl better is Barney Butter! I read a little blurb in Self magazine about it yesterday, and now I am really starting to miss it! 
With iced coffee and a kiwi…
MixMyGranola Giveaway
Recently, MixMyGranola gave me the opportunity to create my very own granola mix.

Question of the Day
What’s your favorite day of the year?
P.S. On April 20th last year, I was taking a red eye flight home from Vegas after one of my bachelorette parties! What a fun trip! I miss my girlies!
Courtney — April 20, 2009 @ 7:57 am
I remember you had said Chocolate Espresso Beans were in your mix and I thought that sounded SO good! Yum! I would love to create my own!
I think you mean daffodils, not dandelions
) And yes, daffodils DO make me think of spring…they are so lovely.

But I also like some of the holidays. Generally anything during the best months of the summer though – like my birthday!

chocolate covered espresso beans and dried blackberries. Caffeine, fruit and CHOCOLATE. what a delicious mix
Happy Vegan Lady — April 20, 2009 @ 1:07 pm
I can’t believe no-one has mentioned blueberries yet, they’re by far my favourite (and a superfood to boot!). At my Durham University we have colleges where you live during terms. Each college has a ‘college day’ where you chill, relax, laze around, drink, eat, see friends, bounce on the bouncy castle, listen to the live music, dance, chat etc etc. Anywho, my college’s day is held after exams when the weather is great and we have nothing to do for four weeks but await our results and have many, many barbecues and picnics. In other words, the perfect time to chill in the beer garden! That would have to be my favourite day of the year. (My college is technically not a ‘college’ but a ‘society’…but that’s another story).
Happy Vegan Lady — April 20, 2009 @ 1:08 pm
* Sorry, misread ‘blackberries’ as ‘blueberries’. Still got to be my favourite add-in though!

Also, I believe you had roasted almonds and dried blueberries in your granola which sounds delish!

Hey, I found your blog a few days ago and have to agree that your bowl of oatmeal looks DEEEELLLLISH! lol. Had a bowl of overnight oats this morning with almond butter and it tied me over for hours! I love your muesli mix, anything with chocolate in it is a win for me! The chocolate expresso beans must add the perfect touch to an already perfect bowl of granola. I wish you the best of luck at the marathon! Being a bostonian myself, I’ll be keeping up with all the updates
I wish I was fit enough to actually run it…I’m up to 5 miles 
Anyway Keep up the great work and the blogging!
P.s
The daffodils look fantastic! It’s so nice to see colors again outside haha
