*Updated! The lucky owner of the energize your morning kit is in the comments! Sweet or savory? I always go sweet, especially at breakfast time. Yes, I have a weakness for all things pastry and cake.

Yes, it’s so totally true that I’ve been slacking lately. I’ve been letting my HoHoHoe teammates down for the Holiday Hoedown Challenge. Sorry girls :( How have I been slacking?

Have you ever tried chicken sausage? It’s fantastic. I never even knew it existed until I began the journey into calorie-counting and I found it as an ingredient for something on Spark People. Its whereabouts in the grocery store perplexed me so I wandered around looking for it and found it above the breakfast sausage [...]
