Woah baby, talk about a dark, gloomy morning. It’s just downright nasty outside today, and word on the street news is that we’re going to be experiencing a little bit of snowfall later on today. Nothing major, only a few inches, so I suppose I can’t complain. I mean, it will look pretty festive and all.

Breakfast
Today’s morning meal featured a new ingredient that I have now fallen head over heels for.
Last week, I purchased a gift pack of Stonewall Kitchen goodies off of Rue La La (yes, I bought food off of Rue La La…don’t judge me) and it included a jar of this Cinnamon Apple Jelly.
Oh my word. This stuff is amazing, my friends. Amazing! I can’t think of anything that it would not be good on. And now with all this jelly talk, I currently have this Destiny Child’s song stuck in my head. Oy vey.
Anyways, today, I added the jelly to a couple of apple cinnamon rice cakes, along with some peanut butter and chia seeds.
I also added a juicy pear on the side for some extra sweetness.
Breakfast filled me up for the time being, but since it was a bit on the lighter side, I’m assuming a mid-morning snack will be in order.
Workout
I chose to sleep in this morning (8 1/2 hours of sleep, baby!) so no workout has happened yet, but I am planning on incorporating some yoga a little later on today. I’m actually thinking about doing one of the Yoga Bootcamp videos, since they’re still available on Exercise on Demand. Has anyone done any of them yet? What do you think?

Before I go for this morning, I have a little something to hopefully make you smile…
I got this picture in a forwarded email from my dad a few days ago. He said it reminded him a bit of my Cody, but that face just cracks me right up…even if it is computer generated.
Question for the Morning:
What’s your go-to website when you’re looking for a good laugh or something to make you smile?
Faith @ For the Health of It says
I wont judge you for buying food from Rue la la if you wont judge me for buying food from Marshalls :D Sometimes they have great deals on gourmet jellies, spices, etc…I was THISCLOSE to getting a jar of real saffron @ TJMaxx last night.
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
I was confused that I still saw them On Demand too (since the site is gone). I was planning on trying one today!
Faith @ For the Health of It says
Also, for a good laugh website…the oatmeal! It’s sarcastic and so true.
Janine @ThePurpleGiraffe says
My go-to for a smile is “DamnYouAutoCorrect” haha. It gets me every time. Or I head over to YouTube for a quick rendition of Domenic the Donkey! :)
Hope says
Ahh, that Destiny’s Child song is now stuck in my head! ;) That jelly does look tasty!
Kate says

Lauren says
Despair.com — definitely my go-to site for a good laugh! Or WhiteWhine…LOL

Pamela says
If I need a laugh, I watch some of my favorite YouTube videos, like Jimmy Kimmel “I Told My Kids I Ate all Their Halloween Candy” and Sophia Grace “Super Bass”. They are too cute!
Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life says
Apple cinnamon jelly sounds delish. I try to stay away from rue la la because I always end up buying things because it’s a good deal, but I wish I would’ve seen that sale!
Lena @Fit on the Rocks says
My little sister buys food from Ross, so no judging from here! I like googling lolcats or loldogs when I need a smile. If you’re into other types of humor, I like the website ‘Shit that Siri Says’. :)
Sarah says
Whenever i need a good laugh i usually head off to joythebaker.com- she cracks me up every time! Or her other site homefries.com which is a cool site with lots of HILARIOUS fall off ya seat podcasts. In fact i think i’m going to go visit right now- its a dark gloomy morning here in VA too!

Wow that jelly sounds great..I bet it would be a fab addition to Greek yogurt! Somee cards and the humor section of Pinterest always get me to crack a smile!
Alicia F. says
That jelly looks soooo good!! :-) yumm!!!
Never tried the Yoga bootcamp, but I’m sure it’ll be good. Gotta use it before it’s all gone. :-< Boo on no more exercise TV! lol
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Wishing it would snow here so it would look like the holiday season it actually is- and I’m sure it would go along wonderfully with the 16* tepms we are having!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
I have spent an inordinate amount of $$ on Gilt taste. It’s sad, really.
Colleen @ Jimmy Choos on the Treadmill says
The weather is awful today in Baltimore, too! I’m crossing my fingers for snow!
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud! says
YouTube, there is always something hilarious there (I always look up funny dance videos or funyn animals to make me smile!)
And apple cinnamon jelly sounds 100% marvelous.
Steph @ StephSnacks says
When I just want to take a break and think of anything mindless, I usually go to People.com for the latest celebrity smutt!
Brigitt says
Stonewall has such good jams. Yum, I really love that stuff. Blueberry-Pomegranate…delicious. The one you had reminds me of a jam I really like to make after going apple picking (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/caramel-apple-jam/detail.aspx).
Bethany @Bethany's Befuddled Brain says
I was planning on a run this morning, but I woke up with a sore throat so I slept in a bit putting it off for later to see if it is just allergies or I’m getting my sister’s cold. I’m praying it’s allergies.
To go for a good laugh I go to jenna marbles on youtube. I’m not a fan of the language she uses, but she’s hilarious so I can’t help but watch.
Coco says
Oh goodness….now you have that song stuck in my head too!!! I am a huuuuge Destiny’s Child fan and I am not ashamed.
I too slept in today until 9am! It was glorious and the first time I’ve done that in aaaaages.
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
someecards.com. gets me every. single. time.
Lauren B. says
I simply google “cute animals” and I can be sure to crack a smile!
Shanna, like Banana says
I love Stonewall products…oh so good.
Hmm when I need smile, I tend to just look right at my 2 cats and my dog. They warm my heat :)
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries says
Oh my gosh, if I want a good laugh, I go to someecards.com – they’re hilarious and inappropriate. Just the way I like it! ;)
Jodi @ Southern Flavored Life says
It’s snowing here! Very first snow of the year, where I’m from. It’s a pretty nice change from all the rain we’ve been having.
My favorite thing to look at, when I need a good laugh, is Ifunny on my phone. Some of the stuff is downright hilarious.
Angela @ Health Happiness & Harmony says
http://www.wimp.com/simplegratitude/ ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! :) Enjoy!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
I loooove Stonewall Kitchens! THey can do no wrong.
Jen@FoodFamilyFitness says
Damn You Auto Correct is guaranteed to make me laugh, all the time!
Laura says
Haha Destiny’s Child. I’m a nanny in manhattan and just last week one of the kids asked where her backpack was to which I was like “to the left, to the left, everything you own in a box to the left…” and she and the other kids were like “what is that song?” and I said ” destiny’s child” and they were like “huh?!” I felt so old! Haha. Sorry, long story, just glad someone remembers Destiny’s child:). That jelly looks amazing. :)
Kellie @ Compelled To Do So says
I just tried Yoga for the first time Monday and am thinking of going to another class tonight. I cannot believe how sore I was after the class! I thought Yoga was a “light” workout, but my entire view has changed. I don’t know if I am ready for Yoga Bootcamp yet, but I would love to hear how it goes!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
I love Damn You Autocorrect or Awkward Family Photos for a good laugh!
Megan says
I’m looking forward to my aunt’s pretzel salad, spaghetti mousse, and italian creme cake!
