Oh, hello! Yesterday my roll as a food blogger was put aside as I worked as a part of the production crew for my old dance studio’s annual recital. It was a longgg day of ‘baby-sitting’ a ton of tiny little dancers backstage in their fuzzy lion costumes and noisy tap shoes. I had one huge headache by the end of the night, but I enjoyed being a part of the show nonetheless.
So, today I’m back… with a full plate of writing work ahead of me. I met my friend Amy [and one of my former dance teachers] at 8:00am for a run. A little too early for my liking on a Sunday, but after 7 miles, I am now wide awake and ready to conquer the end of the week. I picked up a soy latte on my way home from my favorite local coffee co.
OATS.
- 1 c. water
- 1/2 c. thick oats
- 1/2 T ground flax
- cinnamon
- handful of raw walnuts

Sounds like a great run lady! That questionnaire is so fun…I have to agree with many of those…especially dark choc, oats, avocado…
This is so cute! I think Q & As are just so much fun…I love learning little tidbits about peoples’ preferences/lives that you might not pick up from their blogs alone. I’m with you on so many of your answers, especially your dessert preferences. I love everything super rich and super chocolate-y. Mmmm…
Questionnaires are awesome! I love doing them, and I love reading them. It’s neat when you read it and find yourself nodding and going, “Mm-hmm, me too!” Hehe.
Questionaires are always fun to read. I definitely get hooked into them.
Who can choose one favorite food? I guess ya, oatmeal since you can put chocolate and PB on it. :-)
i love these! OH GAH your sandwich fav sounds awesome – jam and cheese and spinach? 3 of my favs!
That’s awesome that you helped put on a dance show :)
And my favorite [tropical] fruit is pineapple too! I could eat a whole one in 1 day.
I love questionnaires, mind if I steal it for my blog?! I so agree with you about so many of your answers. Oatmeal, PB, chocolate – all fabulous foods. I love your answer to your favourite dessert – chocolate and cheesecake – fab!
