I'm super-duper hungry today! Breakfast this morning was a big bowl of pumpkin oat bran with walnuts and a couple of chopped dried apricots on top.
The dried apricot pieces and walnuts gave my pumpkin oat bran some wonderful flavor variety. I especially enjoyed the sweet and crunchy mix of ingredients.
I ate my breakfast on the balcony this morning while reading the most recent issue of Boston's Stuff at Night magazine-- it was the Food Issue. Lots of good articles inside!
Just before heading out the door to work, I grabbed a dark chocolate Adora. Wait, how did those peanut butter and chocolate chips get in my hand?! How bizarre.
It's a beautiful day in the city today-- iced coffee was a must this morning! I made mine with soy milk and the other half of yesterday's French vanilla Splenda packet.
My pre-workout snack was a bowl of Puffins with soy milk. The milk really enhanced the peanut butter flavor. Delish!
For the record: I ate a similar bowl of Puffins last night after shopping. I worked up an appetite walking around the mall!
Question of the Day
What's your junk food weakness?
Me: Cake (obviously) and nachos. I love, love, love these foods! I used to have zero willpower around them, but I've learned to control myself and just have a small serving... most of the time! :)

Oooh, pumpkin oat bran! Yum!
Haha, those peanut butter and chocolate chips are definitely a mystery ;o)
My junk food weakness used to be sugary cereal (think Cinnamon Toast Crunch!), but I think I overloaded, because now I can't stomach it. But of course, we move on...now it's a toss up between chocolate chips and sour gummy worms!
M&M's are my weakness! I can never resist those little guys! So good!!! And in the summer months I'm definitely always craving some good ice cream!
Did you find any outfits at the mall?? Pictures!!
I believe we were talking about peanut butter chips a few weeks back (either that our cinnamon chips). I actually found a variety free from hydrogenated oils from a brand called Sunspire @ Whole Foods. My boyfriend is addicted to peanut butter so I can't wait to try them in something.
I need to try that PB cereal! I am going to look for it this weekend. My junk food weakness- tortilla chips. I think I could eat a million.
CHIPS. Any and all. Like you, I love nachos, but also feel weak around chips and salsa, chips and dip, or just plain chips sitting around at a BBQ. Darn those chips!
Harvest Cheddar Sunchips and Hint of Lime Tostitos. soooooooooo goooooooooooooood!!! I can't buy them (especially if they are around while alcohol is involved) because I will eat them all!!
my weakness is definitely ice cream + cookies!!! Whole Foods chocolate chip cookies to be exact, and chocolate peanut butter frozen yogurt. When I have either of those it is hard to stick to a small portion!
My weakness is peanut butter!!! I can eat an entire jar by the spoonfuls, which is obviously like a month's worth of calories! ha ha ha
Food weakness=sweets in general. Mostly homebaked goods though (cookies, cakes, etc.)...much better than candy bars and other cheap sweets.
Everything in moderation though, right?! :)
What is the serving size (dry) of oat bran that you generally make?
Sammie,
I use 1/3 cup of dry oat bran.
im in boston and i was wondering if you could reccommend any good sushi restaurants??
AshleyB,
What area of Boston are you in? Some of my favorites:
Fugakyu (Brookline)
Fuji (Quincy Center)
Takemura (Harvard Square)
Osushi (Copley Hotel)
my weakness is definitely ice cream. i only let myself get it when i'm out because if i keep it in the house i devour it straight out of the carton.
I second the people saying the need to find that PB Puffins cereal. it looks soo good!
my junk food weakness... ice cream for one, definitely. Like Dairy Queen. I haven't done this in awhile, but my mom and I were known for going and getting large cookie dough "blizzards." its a crazy amount of calories but yummmm.
I tried Coldstone recently and had a "birthday cake remix", which might have topped the blizzards. very dangerous.
also I can totally eat numerous bowls of cereal with soy/almond milk, if I am in a numerous-bowls-of-cereal mood.
have a great hump day! :D
My weaknesses are definitely ice cream and frosting. Preferably frosted ice cream. My weakness would be cake if it were a cake with 10% cake, 90% frosting. Not that I can't go through a jar of peanut butter or bowls of cereal like the best of them!
i had pumkpin and bran oat this morning too! and it's delicious!
Thanks for answering my question Tina, also I liked Mel's post, he did a decent job and I like his tribute to you.
ashleyb,
I have been to Fuji, it is awesome sushi, I highly recommend the place.
