Today has been such a busy day. I spent the morning working on my book, then headed to NuVal for a few hours, then had a quick interview about coffee for a women’s magazine, and then I had a conference call with Open Sky. Busy, busy! I’m happy to be home, lounging in my sweats now.
Breakfast
I didn’t snap a photo of breakfast this morning. I thought about it, but I was moving right along with my writing, so I skipped it and got back to work. I ate the same ol’ oats + banana + Barney Butter combo.
Here’s a photo from last December that pretty much sums up breakfast today.
Lunch
I munched on lunch at my desk today. I had a container of Oikos with a package of Yogi Granola Crisps mixed in.
Loved the Granola Crisps! Delish!
When I got home, I snacked on a pear before taking Murphy for a walk. He patiently waited while I munched away.
Dinner
My lunch was pretty small today, so I dug into dinner early. I had leftovers of the Easy Greek Casserole that I made on Tuesday night. (I’m pretty sure I’ll end up eating a snack later tonight.)
It was so good reheated! Much better than expected. I ended up going back for seconds. 
If you’re curious how this recipe scores on the NuVal scale, be sure to check out my recent post on Trading Up Downtown.
Twas the Night Before Fitness
I love this holiday poem from Health: Twas the Night Before Fitness. There’s a Carrots ‘N’ Cake mention!

Those Yogi granola crisps look fabulous! I need to find some!
Murphy looks so jealous of your pear.
Ive been wondering how those granola crisps are
the crisps look delish!!
Yay for working on the book!!
Those granola crisps look like little cookies!
YAY for a new car!!!!!
At last! Someone who unedrtnsads! Thanks for posting!
Sorry about the jeep but I’m glad you’re happy about it!!
Those granola crisps look awesome! Nothing like I’ve seen before!
Hooray for such a productive day!
Definitely an excellent reason to get a new car
Getting a new ride is soooo exciting!!
That’s great about getting a new car! I’m really excited about the book, too, what an amazing opportunity
Oh no! That stinks about the Jeep! But new cars are so much fun! My husband’s Jeep has over 275,000 miles on it…and the mechanics said it’s in perfect condition. I don’t think we’ll be getting a new car anytime soon
Hope the writing is going better…Those granola crisps look yummy, I gotta try some!
so funny when you start praying for things to break to give you a reason to buy something new
It’s funny to see you and Mal reaction about the jeep and the new car. LOL
Did you like the granola crisps? I am skeptical of them. I can’t wait to make your greek casserole. I am greek and I love greek flavors!
The Yogi crisps look delicious!
Your greek casserole looks delish… also i am sorry to hear about the jeep, i hope you are able to get a NEW car you LOVE!!
sorry about your car?! or not?!
Have you been able to locate the Yogi Granola Crisps Mountain Blueberry Flax in Boston…I got a free sample and fell in love but I can not find them anywhere!
@Emily GG: Mine was a free sample too!
New car? How exciting!
I think your pug wants your pear =)
Thank you for all your hard work on the 12 (24? haha) Days of Giveaways – it’s been fun!
I don’t think we’re ever gonna get a new car. My husband is good with cars so we’ll probably always have old ones. I’m all for no car payment though.
I had to laugh when I saw your blog post. I am having Choibani Greek Yogurt and Yogi cereal (blueberry) for breakfast today. Love the new Yogi cereal!
those crips look great on the yogurt!
@ Tina If I find any in Boston I will let you know!! They are so good.
I found the Yogi Granola Crisps in Strawberry at the Target in Watertown near the Arsenal Mall.
