there’s always time for breakfast, no matter how late I may be

I don’t eat Special K products, but I think every once in a while trying different things, especially for the blog, is cool! And hey, I use Splenda everyday…one packet ain’t gonna kill me (i don’t think)

Let me first add that I am currently eating a mug-full of kashi honey sunshine and was inspired to do so by you!!! I’ve been craving these little cap’n crunch wannabes since seeing them on this blog a while back!

I admire that you just did the damn thang and tried the new special k products out! a little crap NEVER hurt anyone! these chemicals are “bad” for us when consumed on a daily basis, in great amounts–which although many people tend to do, you my friend…are not one of them!

PS–Now i’m really craving some roasted VEG in my life! And that mug is sooooo cute! Hey thereeeeee!

Oops. I pretty much lived on Special K with chocolate when I was in France. Talk about ironic, when they have the best bread in the world!

Here’s to a free-sliding zipper-filled weekend

This is why people should read blogs! I love this post because it really does mock “balance”….I want to say a little poison never hurt anyone, but I know that’s not right. I am PULLED to new products out of curiosity…and I probably would have bought those blueberry crisps…but check out my blog this week. You inspired me to make homemade ones that I could freeze and grab on the run!

Holly you have me LOL here! As I was starting to read your post to see you had special k – (and not having had the guts to read Pollan’s “in defense of food” – and therefore not knowing about that chemical) I was thinking about my thoughts about special k. It annoys me that they market the food as a healthy food that will help you feel full when all it is is unhealthy low-value carbs. HOWEVER I did buy those fruit crisps in a moment of sale inhibition. They aren’t bad tasting but not the type of thing I keep in the house very often (b/c any cookie type 100calorie item tends to get eaten by the boxful).

Well seeing that you are an “everythingtarian” I would say a little bit of this or that every once in a while is still within your right

Sorry I can’t meet up Wed Hopefully yall will love each other so much you do it again and not on a wed

hey love! i have been meaning to comment but i keep forgetting (i read posts on my bberry google reader – not conducive to tiny text comments). point is. i have been thinking of ya, and since i am queen of the blah weather funks, hit me up if you ever wanna vent. although personally i think thats part of the joy of blogging…let it out homes bc we will all be here to listen, and im sure more people than you ever expected can totally relate.

ps totes appreciate the honesty about the special k bar. their company kinda bums me out too for the commercials about the girl that feels she needs to lose weight and shes like 100 pounds max…meh. whatevs.

happy friday

Wow, I seriously need to check out labels a little better! (I was actually thinking of picking up some Special K Granola later at the store!) Thanks for the info, Holly!
