Dying Bouquets make me sad... Fiber makes me happy!

This is my bouquet from Bailey's wedding and I really do think it is the most beautiful bridesmaid bouquet I have ever seen! I wish you all could have seen it fresh and in person. I've had it on our table all week and I just LOVE looking at it everyday.

Here's Molly and I at the Bridesmaid Luncheon held in Bailey's honor. My cute little sister in on a plane bound for Ireland as I type this post. For 52 days, I will eat Lucky Charms and think of her. Just kidding, Molly- I'll be PRAYING for you!

She set up a blog to track her journey:

Go ahead and add it to your blog roll so you can keep up with her adventure!

And finally tonight, a confession. I am addicted to homeade high-fiber granola! That bag is supposed to last me a week! A person with little self-control with food should NEVER just eat high-fiber anything willy-nilly, yet that is what I'm doing!

Recipe (with my twist on it):
On a pan with sides, cover the bottom with raw, old fashioned oats. Then sprinkle ground flaxseed (took me forever to find this at the grocery store) on top of the oats, then sprinkle ground wheat germ (another eternity to locate this) on top of the flaxseed. I thought those two ingredients were scary, but nope, they're tasty. The next layer is mini-chocolate chips. The more the better, I say, but if you're making this to be healthy, just do a decent layer.

Next, in a microwave-safe container, mix a good wollop of peanut butter with 1/4 cup canola oil and a healthy dumping of cinnamon together and microwave until you can mix it all together and pour over the pan of other stuff. (the original recipe also called for 1/4 honey but I forgot to buy that) Mix it ALL together and bake for about 20 minutes at 325 degrees.

A note about my peanut butter- it is "white chocolate peanut butter" and it is made in Heaven. It has no high fructose corn syrup, though, so lay off. You can find it at Wal-Mart.

Enjoy the high-fiber granola and reading Molly's blog!
