After a long early morning walk with my mom and dog, Eva, I had a big bowl of oatmeal and fresh juice. Now I feel energized and ready to take on the day!

  4. Ooh, you ate some pretty fantastic food, Shannon! Aren't these the best kind of M & M's? Well, I once had PB filled ones but these aren't regularly available around here soo ...

    Which chocolate granola do you buy? I've been wondering this for a while because it looks so good.

  16. I always seem to focus on the desserts in blogger's WIAW posts, but those are my favorite part! Food porn!! All of the cakes look amazing. The orange cream cake sounds fantastic, but the one picture of the whole cake looks marvelous with the streusel-looking stuff on top!

  17. All your food looks great, I don't think I can pick a favourite meal!

  18. Oh wow all those cakes look amazing!! But what is red wine cake?
    My favourite cake is Christmas cake. I just love the marzipan and icing and all that chewy sweet fruit.
    And my favourite M&Ms are definitely the crunchy ones. I'm not a fan of the originals. Just a bit boring and samey.

  19. So many yummy looking cakes! I miss the crispy M&Ms...I can't find them anywhere in the US :(

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yeah, I have always thought that the cake in Germany is better than anywhere else on the planet and I have yet to be proven wrong. I can't believe your Grandpa actually made that orange cream cake, it looks so professional!

  21. Can I come over if you have cake leftovers? :) Great looking eats! I need to make myself some hard boiled eggs to snack on. You sparked a craving!

    ReplyDelete
  22. That orange cream cake your grandpa made looks divine! If you have any leftovers, I will gladly come and eat them up for you!

    I am not a huge cake fan, but I do love ice cream cake :) And peanut M & M's are my favorite!
