The Snack Report: Thomas’ Blueberry English Muffins
I feel like I start a lot of my Snack Reports with, “I was in the grocery store and saw this on sale.” But that’s really how I end up finding most of the stuff I review. Some foodstuffs I hear about in advance and seek out to review, but a lot I find while just wandering around the grocery store, and if it’s on sale, I’m game for giving it a try. So…I was in the grocery store the other day and saw these blueberry English muffins on sale. Actually I saw a different Thomas’ product on sale first, but it’s going to be on sale for longer than these are, so I ended up getting them first. I had tried the limited edition apple pie English muffins a few months ago and enjoyed them, so I figured blueberry English muffins were worth a shot as well; I like both blueberries and English muffins.
Smoothie Sunday: Peanut Butter Blueberry Smoothie
I realize this smoothie is pretty similar to the peanut butter and jelly smoothie that I posted last year. But blueberry jelly is less popular than strawberry jelly, so I decided that it deserved its own post. The inspiration for this smoothie came from my putting blueberries on peanut butter toast. It’s very yummy, but it can be a bit tricky to eat. This smoothie has all the flavor without fear of blueberries rolling off of bread.

Smoothie Sunday: Berry Cherry Smoothie
This is another one of my, “I need to use up this fruit” smoothie creations (as opposed to a “thought out a few days in advance” one). Funnily enough, it seems like my last minute creations end up being some of my favorites. Then again it’s hard to go wrong with a fairly classic combination like this.

Smoothie Sunday: Blueberry Melon Smoothie
I like trying to use melons in smoothies because they’re so refreshing. They’re also a quintessential summer food. As I discovered last year, watermelon can be tricky because it’s just so, well, watery. I’d wanted to try a smoothie using honeydew melon last year, but the melon kept getting eaten before I had a chance to use it in a smoothie. So this year I made sure to grab some before it was all gone. I decided to mix it with blueberries because I like blueberries. As a bonus blueberries are really good for you.

Cheat Codes: Overnight Oatmeal
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a morning person. At all. I enjoy my sleep, and I enjoy it well into the late hours of the morning. And those times I do have to get up early it takes me a long time to get going. So knowing my breakfast is ready and waiting for me when I get up is a load off. While there are some other types of breakfast that you can prepare in advance, today I’ll be tackling everyone’s favorite winter breakfast: oatmeal.
What is this morning you speak of?
