Gruesli/Muesnola

I've mentioned before that my parents are just as big on cereal as I am. They eat a mix of brands every single morning with a banana and skim milk, so we're never short on boxes of the stuff. My mom likes to add raw oats, nuts and dried fruit to her bowl, so recently she combined the three in a huge Tupperware for convenience.


Since being home, my hand has been in here several times a day. It's kind of like a cross between muesli and granola, packed with good stuff: pumpkin and sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, mangoes and raisins, almonds and peanuts.


This morning for breakfast, I switched up the usual and poured myself a bowl of this stuff, topped with a small chunk of frozen summer berry bread and a huge spoonful of Blizzard Butter, which Courtney sent me a few months ago!


(Blizzard Butter actually beats PB&Co.'s White Chocolate Wonderful in the taste department, as much as it pains me to say that.)


I ate my breakfast al fresco. When I come home, being outside away from the taxis and craziness is always my favorite part.


Especially with two blond bombshells keeping me company.


Time to get this day started! Hitting the gym while it's still uncrowded, and then this afternoon I'm helping my brother and sister-in-law move into their new house! Enjoy your Sunday :)
