Box of Yum
(Is it just me or does the name of this stuff make you think of Buzz Lightyear?)
Aside from peanut butter, another food I cannot seem to control myself around is granola (and cereal… and cookies… and ice cream…).
Fortunately Galaxy Granola uses applesauce instead of oil when baking the granola, eliminating a lot of unnecessary fat and keeping the calorie content of the granola lower than many others. The best part? It’s still 100 percent delicious!

After dinner last night I dug into each bag. I just had to try them all, right? 😉
My favorite was the Vanilla Almond, but the Not Sweet Vanilla flavor was a close second.
I incorporated the latter into my breakfast this morning, topping a bowl of thawed frozen strawberries and Greek yogurt with the crunchy goodness.

All Stirred Up
GREAT breakfast!
I think this granola would make a great base in a trail mix with nuts, chocolate chips and dried fruit. Yum!
Workout
Today’s workout was one of my “hop around” workouts that I do when I’m not feelin’ anything in particular.
- 15 min. stair master
- 10 min. adaptive motion trainer
- 25 min. elliptical
It was good… not great… but it made me sweat and that’s what counts, right?
My walk with Sadie after the gym was drizzly, and Sadie stopped to shake off the wetness every other minute.
"...Shake, Shake, Shake ...Shake Your Booty"
"Stoooopid Rain."
(These pictures are from last night’s trip to the dog park, but I didn’t want to overwhelm last night’s post with the billions of Sadie pictures I took. 🙂 )
Despite the rain, we managed to have a decent walk, but it was cut a little short due to the inclement weather. We followed up the walk with several rounds of indoor fetch. Fortunately nothing was broken in the process.
Looking Forward
Even though I still have a snack to eat in between now and lunch, I am anxiously awaiting lunchtime so I can dig into dinner leftovers!
Are you a leftovers lover or a leftovers hater?
I’m a leftovers lover fo’ sho’!

What a fun package! Looks like delicious granola!
I am a leftovers QUEEN 🙂 But I usually save them for dinner, not lunch.
I LOVE leftovers! I always look forward to them, too.
I want a fun package like that. I am a leftover lova for sure! Eating my leftovers for lunch today also! That last picture of sadie looks like it should be in a calender or something.
I love leftovers! Some meals, like chili, taste even better the next day!
I don’t know many people who CAN control themselves around granole…it’s just so addicting!
I think Sadie and Daisy need to have a playdate! They can burn off all that energy together 🙂
Depends on the leftovers….pasta – yes, pizza – yes, rubbery veggies – no! I prefer fresh!
Great idea for my homemade granola! I might try replacing the canola oil with applesauce next time!
I love the Galaxy Not Sweet Vanilla! It is the perfect not too sweet addition to yogurt or oatmeal to give it a perfect crunch.
I am on the fence about leftovers. I would probably eat them more if I had a microwave. Right now, though, it’s stove top or oven reheating which is just a pain most of the time. I do like leftovers like pizza or chicken that i can eat cold.
ahhh I just won some Galaxy granola from Lizzy’s giveaway. I am so so so excited to try it out.
Awesome breakfast!
lover for sure! sometimes leftovers are better than the original meal!
total leftovers lovah! i wish i had some for today…but alas leftover green monster for dinner last night would not be good… 🙂 if there was any left and is there ever? no.
I’m like you… cannot control myself when it comes to granola. That kind sounds great though!
That granola looks really great. I love granola, but just wish it weren’t so high in calorie. I love leftovers! I’m a big fan of leftovers for lunch the next day.
leftover lover! what’s better for lunch than leftovers?
although i’ve been having waaaay too much leftover cabbage this week.
I love leftovers, but I rarely have them. I finish everything 🙂
Love the leftover, sometimes they are even better than the original meal.
Breakfast looks awesome, going to have to check and see if we have Galaxy granola in Canada.
I’ve been seeing that granola pop up on a few blogs- it looks yummy!
I’m a big leftover girl… which works out well because it’s not always easy to find things to cook that are only one serving (since I live by myself).
I want to try that granola too. Sure looks yummy!
And I am a leftovers hater usually, except for soups and casserole type dishes where things taste better as the flavors mesh. But meats or stuff like that I cannot eat leftover.
Granola and I have a love/hate relationship! I love it but after eating an entire bag in one sitting I hate it! haha!
I am a leftover LOVAH! I think everything taste better the next day!
Im a big time leftover lover. I eat everything as leftovers! Cooking for me means leftovers are a must!
The granola looks good–although, I’m not a huge granola fan.
LEFTOVER LOVER! unless its leftover salad or soggy veggies, but main dishes and soups, stews etc I am SO in!!!
