Sometimes I just want a big bowl.

Chris loves his sugary cereal, on the mornings he’s off from work. I love my ceareal on the weekends or as a late night snack. I lean towards ”Raisin Bran” most days. Yum. I need the box that contains the EXRA SCOOP of raisins. My all time guilty pleasure is that colorful box of  Fruity Pebbles…takes me back to my childhood days of watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.

Healthy alternative

This mornings breakfast:  cantaloupe, strawberries, black berries and Galaxy Granola’s  new ”Maple Pecan Quinoa” granola.

Mix it all up.

What’s your favorite kind of cereal?

I’m so happy Friday has come and the work week is over.  Chobani yogurt and fruit is just what I needed to get the work day flowing.

Along with a big bowl of fruit: grapes, strawberries and apples

Snack time: 2 mini apple cinnamon PURE bars.  This raw fruit bar tasted great. I may go buy some for lunch next week.

Since I had a late breakfast and a bagel with cream cheese (not pictured) I passed on lunch.  That’s when I had another PURE bar

Chris and I hadn’t had tacos in awhile, so I whipped up a fast and easy meal for dinner.

Easy 90 second Fiery Fiesta Pilaf with black beans.

Of course I needed some fruit.  I had been craving grapes all day at work.

A delicious vegetarian meal at home.

Gotta Love Fridays and Tacos.

Things To Do:

Morning Time

I needed some fresh fruit and Greek yogurt in my life this morning.

Pomegranate YUM

It took me awhile to find the pom seeds but I did eventually taste them down under.

I was starting to miss red seedless grapes.  I used to think green seedless were the best, but now I’m torn.

These were the best juicy red grapes!

Grape are Great!

See you guys later, I’m off to clean & get ready for the Grape Fest in Grapevine, Tx with Kaytee!

Nifty Fun Facts about Grapes:

  were grown and harvested in the area now known as Iran as early as 8000 years ago.

  cranberries and wild blueberries.)

  north from Mexico are thought to have introduced European grapes to California.

TYPES

• There are thousands of varieties of grapes grown throughout the world, but all these varieties can be classified as either European or American.
• European grapes have tightskins that adhere to the fruit while the American varieties have loose skin, or slip-skinthat easily slips from the fruit when cut or bitten.
• Grapes can also be classified as seedless or with seeds, or according to use – table grapes for eating or making into raisins, grapes for use in commercial foods or grapes for wine or juice.

  Almost any time of year you can find red and green Thompson seedless table grapes in
  your local supermarket.
