I must admit, my breakfasts have gotten pretty boring lately. Often grabbing a slice of Sarah's amazing bread, or having my old standby apple scramble.

so instead of a new breakfast, I will share some favorite things as of late:
+ want to try this smoothie.

+ enjoying the Food 52 cookbook, vol. 2-full of great seasonal recipes.

+ love this stuff! making my skin so soft and smells so good!

+ I see this bracelet in my future. or this necklace. or this ring. i'm obsessed with jewels!

+ been hydrating a lot lately and feeling so much better. using this makes it easier.

+ must go see this exhibit soon.

have an amazing weekend!

Sarah's bread is great with everything {my favorites are toasted with preserves or untoasted with peanut butter and honey}.

my new spot to share inspiration, DIVE IN.

loving lately:
made this bread over the weekend. it's addicting!

can't decide if this is wrong or right. super cute, though.

love seeing these breakfast rituals.

love Elise's tumblr.

I definitely do not believe in eating doughnuts everyday, but the occasional indulgence is always fun. These are vegan from a local Brooklyn bakery, so I will tell myself that they are healthy.
Enjoy your day!

I had this breakfast over the weekend. I had forgotten about oatmeal and how simple and delicious it can be in the winter. I cooked the oatmeal in a mixture of almond milk and water, sweetened a little with stevia and topped with a few almonds and a scoop of B.P.B. warm and delicious!

I have been trying out a new fitness plan using the 5K runner app. It is going well so far (I am on week 4); it's kind of nice to get out and run in the dead of winter. I have also employed Joslyn's advice of drinking 32 ounces of water in the morning. It really does give you more energy and start the day off right.

Have you been on any new exercise or health kicks?

It's been a slow start to the year. Trying to adjust to the sudden onset of cold that seems to happen here. It always throws me for a loop. Been drinking lots of hot tea and trying to get through it, thinking of warmer days ahead.

On another note, have you ever tried Better 'n Peanut Butter? I'm not sure if I would say it is better than peanut butter, but it has a lot fewer calories and has a unique taste that I really like. You can also find it at Trader Joes, Whole Foods or any health food store.
