Monday Breakfast and 11 Random Things

On an early and time-crunched morning, one of the easiest things to throw together for breakfast is an old-fashioned bowl of cereal.

I love mixing cereals, so my bowl contained TJ’s Crisp Rice, Honey Almond & Flax 9 Whole Grains cereal, the last of the Pumpkin Flax Plus granola, raisins, half of a banana, almond milk, and a little spoon of sunflower seed butter.

Mmm. Hit the spot!

11 Random Things About Me

9. I HATE to waste food and I will literally eat things I don’t want or like so that I’m not wasteful (I’m that crazy lady)
10. I have yet to spend a year when I’m not in school. This is about to change!

11. I love spending time with my friends but I’m truly an introvert. I need time to myself to recharge pretty frequently.

Maria’s Questions
1. What’s your favorite food? Hmm, this is a tough question because I think it changes all the time. Right now I’m feeling yoatgurt, overnight oats, and tempeh. Obviously leaning toward breakfast foods.
2. If you could change anything about yourself what would it be? I wish I did more for me. I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to please other people and not listening to what I want to do.
3. What’s your idea of a perfect weekend? A little fun, a little relaxation, a little productivity, and some good workouts :)
4. What’s your favorite tv show? Currently I’m into Walking Dead, Alcatraz, and Top Chef and Ian and I have been watching Friday Night Lights on Netflix.
5. What do you like to do most with your free time? Relax with Ian, run, and blog.
6. If you could travel anywhere in the world, money’s no object, where would it be? I really want to go to South Africa.
7. Why did you start blogging? I guess I just got tired of being a “lurker”. I also wanted an outlet to talk about healthy living and form connections with other like-minding individuals.
8. Who’s your celebrity crush/idol? I was never that into celebrities but I’ve always adored Jennifer Aniston, she’s probably my favorite actress (or Julia Roberts)
9. What/who inspires you? The blogging community inspires me as well as many of my peers, colleagues, and family members.
10. What’s your favorite all time movie? When Harry Met Sally, Father of the Bride, and Tommy Boy.. sorry, I can’t pick just one!
11. Mac or PC? I had a horrible experience with a Macbook Pro and have been a PC girl ever since. I do LOVE my iPhone though!

My questions
1. What is your current food obsession?
2. What is your favorite movie?
3. How do you like to spend your free time?
4. Why do you blog?
5. Do you have any pets?
6. Sweet or savory?
7. What is your favorite place that you’ve traveled and why?
