Test is over. w00t! It went well as tests do go.
I met my friends at EF for a little studying beforehand. I did a half-and-half lunch: half from home, half there.
Unfortunately they didn’t have my favorite soups on the buffet, but I found a Gypsy soup that I liked. And bulked it up with more veggies from the hot bar!
I also brought a tortilla from home
It was very filling -
But after I came out of my test I needed some fruity replenishment in the form of an organic honeycrisp from my free bag. GOSH these are the best apples ever! So, so juicy that it’s like apple juice in my mouth!
I got home in the 4:00 hour and found two packages on my doorstep. Regional Best sent me a gift certificate to check out some of the cool products they feature. I browsed through hundreds of awesome gourmet products but decided on two of my very favorites: granola + PB!
This granola – The Best Damn Granola – is all about FIGS! With figs, coconut, flax, raisins, pecans, walnuts + almonds it’s totally half chew, half crunch. LOVED the figs!!!!
I had a half cup of TJ’s Euro yogurt topped with about a quarter cup of the granola for the Best Damn Snack
Annnnnndddd about another quarter cup from the bag 
Can’t wait to open the Naturally Nutty!!
Matt’s home and I gotta go tend to his condition. He’s doing much better but I convinced him to take a Benadryl. It’s poison ivy for sure! He removed that vine bare-handed with no clue

poison ivy is no fun at all! So glad that matt decided to take a benedryl!
I’m glad that your test went well and that Matt’s doing better!
hope matt heals soon – poison ivy – eeeeek!
how did you take that picture of yourself driving?!?!
Great job on the test! And I love that PB–couldnt live without it. And I think I’ve seen that granola at the farmer’s market near me from the people who make it. I’ll have to get some now
Don’t you mean “BEAR” handed? Oh gawd. Please don’t ban me from KERF.
Figs, huh? I always think of figs as old-people food. I should get out of my little box and try them, since clearly, young folks enjoy them as well!
Glad the test is over! Poison ivy is the worst… glad he took benedryl!
Oh poor Matt, glad the benadryl is helping.
Those apples are amazing, I don’t usually like apples but honeycrisp definitely change my mind!
Yikes! The Benadryl should help a lot. Did you know that some people are immune to poison ivy? My mom is one of the lucky ones – she has no reaction to it! Weird, huh?
I love figs! I’m sure I would adore that granola.
Glad your test went well!
Granola is crack! Love it!
Ugh, poison ivy is terrible – hope it gets better soon, Matt!
I HATE poison Ivy but I’m VERY familiar with it. Wash the sheets every night so the oils don’t get on you or keep irritating him. You can buy a wonder called “Oatmeal Bath”…at Walgreens, awesome stuff!
Have a great night!

I’m glad you convinced him on the benadryl! It totally took the posion ivy to delurk me…
Hey Kath – Quick question: I’ve had flax meal in the cupboard for about two months (I didn’t know I had to refrigerate it) should I throw it away?
Thanks!!
honeycrisp apples are AMAZINGGG…by far my favorite, looks like you enjoyed it!
yummy looking granola…hope matt feels better!
mmmmmm, love the Honeycrisps!
your blog is so cute! love your photos and this all looks great!
I hope the benedryl works and he is back to no hives/swelling Matt ASAP!
I won a jar of that same peanut butter from jen a prior fat girl! It’s awesome. I’m inventing ways to eat peanut butter to eat more of it. I’m interested to see what you think about it or if you have a peanut butter you like better.

jenna
glad the test went well! that granola sounds like a great mix.
I hope Matt is doing better!
good thing he took a benadryl! Poor guy!
My husband loves the Best Damn Granola – it is from our area and the woman who makes it is always at our Farmers Market! It is so great to support local businesses! I hope you enjoy.
Now THAT is a veggie soup! I hate it when I get a soup without any good chunky vegetables!
the naturally nutty looks woderful!!!
