I have met a new friend, its name is Muesli! Its a really good food. I don't have a great deal of super healthy food to work with where I now live, and I wanted a healthful breakfast food. I researched Muesli a little bit, and embarked on my journey! I soaked oats in water overnight, and the next morning I added half of an apple diced up, cinnamon, and honey. It was quite good! For a couple of mornings I soaked the oats in apple cider we had on hand. Yummy. I also am now adding some vanilla flavoring. In my husband's Muesli this morning, I added a sliced banana instead of a half an apple. Thats the good thing about Muesli is that you can diversify and use what you have! Here is a basic recipe.
1cup rolled oats (soaked overnight, in water barely covering them in your breakfast bowl )
The next morning add to your bowl:
1/2 apple
1/4 tsp. vanilla flavoring
several dashes of cinnamon
1 tsp. honey.
Mix up and enjoy!

Wow, its been a While!
So, I think I am going to resume writing on this dear blog, which I have so long neglected! I have had some major changes in my life the last couple of months. August 12 I got married to Eric Avery, and we are now living in Kentucky. I am greatly enjoying my life! My exercise and good eating regimen have gotten by the wayside for the most part though, and of that I am ashamed! So, I am trying to reform and get into really good shape. I plan on using my blog to help me stay accountable, and for other purposes too! I am taking 3 classes, being a pastor's wife, and helping my husband work in the colleges' kitchen. Needless to say, I am not getting quite the whole foods diet I was eating while living and working with the Cambells at Above Rubies. I am trying to stay away from too much carbs, so I am not going completely crazy there, but desserts have been my biggest downfall. They are just so good! I have just very recently gotten to walking for about 30 minutes at night, and I want to get into even more exercise too, so that is my goal! Going for an even more beautiful Temple!
