.!. I have to warn you, Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters, from General Mills, are addicting. Very, very addicting. So much so, I was half-tempted to hide them from my children and husband (because I do that sometimes, especially with all things chocolate, because when I want to indulge a little, I want my indulgence [...]

Okay y’all, my name is Christy, and I’m a snack-a-holic. Seriously. That’s my major downfall when it comes to dieting. When I went this route a few years back, the 100 calorie snack craze wasn’t in full swing, so my options were seriously limited. Well, they weren’t really limited, but it was a serious pain [...]
