What Gets You Through The Day?

Most days there is nothing exciting at work that gets me through the day. But my co-workers and I have just come up with a fun new treat that has got us excited and jumping off the walls!

Start with a scoop of ice cream....


And then add that to a shot of espresso...

And don't make any phone calls for the rest of the day because nobody will be able to understand a word coming out of your hyper-active mouth.

Enjoy!

Little Kid Post of the Day

I am a huge fan of cereal. I will eat it any time of the day. But now that I'm getting older I can't indulge in the Cocoa Pebbles or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which I loved so much as a kid.

But fortunately, there are some good "big kid" cereals that have a great taste and are still good for you.

Kashi has come out with some excellent cereals like Kashi Go Lean Crunch - Honey Almond Flax.
It reminds me a lot of Honey Smacks (another favorite as a kid - remember the "Dig Em" Frog?).

Kashi has the puffed wheat and honey goodness but on top of that it has protein, fiber and Omega-3 (which I have no clue what they are).

Kashi also has a cereal called Organic Promise Cinnamon Harvest

It brings me back to the good old Frosted Mini Wheats, except there is no yummy layer of sugar on the outside.
But just because there is no sugar layer doesn't mean it isn't sweat and yummy. Kashi uses Evaporated Cane Juice and you still get some of that fiber goodness that us old folks need.

So I can't be a little kid anymore - but I can at least pretend for a few minutes each day.
