I am so not up with the times. I've been known to "discover" things time and again...about a year or three after they came upon the scene. I have no real explanation. I can only speculate that I'm just not a bandwagon kind of gal. I don't like to do things just because other people are, and I don't like to like things just because everyone else does.
Therefore, I've been known to not even try something just because it seems to be the popular choice.
Weird, I know, since I really, really like to consider myself as quite the hip and happening.
All of that being said, I have discovered the yummiest thing I've had in a while (except for all things cake at Katie's, you understand). Seriously. I picked this up at The Fresh Market last week because word on the street is that it is crazy-healthy and well CHUBBY, you know.
...and y'all it was good. GOOD is what I'm sayin'. I have eaten it at least once a day since the purchase - and don't tell but one day I had it for breakfast and dinner. The thing that makes me happiest is the way it makes me feel completely full and stuffed and satisfied...and 100% disinterested in all things sugar. I just dump three or four or seven of those strawberries on top and YUM.
I've always loved my Raisin Bran but color me surprised when I found out it is one of the sugary-est cereals ever invented, and frankly cereal for breakfast has always made me feel yucky anyway. (I suspect I have an issue with the dairy portion of the cereal experience.) But, the almond milk solved that little issue and all I feel after indulging in this little repast is happy - and did I mention the good?
So I just wanted to exhort you all, my friends, to be brave and adventuresome and a teensy bit open-minded. Do not be afraid to jump into 2008. Go forth and purchase some cereal!
Happy Tuesday :)

p.s. I do not wish to be educated about the sugar in the milk. I prefer to consider it hidden sugar and therefore nonexistent. Don't judge.

Good morning! Thanks for starting my day with a smile (again.) Although the very name "almond milk" makes me shudder and I'm not that brave... I woke up this morning not on purpose and ready for adventure but because the alarm was driving me crazy. As a result being challenged to jump into 2008 was just a relief... I think I can do THAT today!!! :) I love you so much. Thank you for writing and always making me smile!! Love you!

HI Mary Mary! Frankly regular milk is not even something I'm a fan of, so it wasn't too much of a jump. But that's why I went with the "vanilla" rather than the plain. Because I was scared. It is yummy on the cereal but I don't see me pouring myself a big ole glass of it. Of course I didn't gulp the regular stuff, either.
I love you too & hope you have a great day!
p.s. I hope our buddy is feeling better!!
p.s.s. I don't know why your comment came up twice but I'm afraid if I try to delete one they will both go away. and that would make me sad.
Your blog was such a sweet place to land this morning! I have enjoyed the pictures, everything from cereal to grandbabies...
I am a new follower, please stop by and consider returning the favor.
