I’m a little late, but Happy New Year, everyone! I hope that you all had a fabulous and safe New Years, with plenty of good food and drink (if you’re into that kind of thing ;)). Thinking about the past year in detail is not something that I’m really big on, but 2011 was full of many dramatic changes for me. I started out the year in a job that had an uncertain future, right before my co-workers were laid off I was able to move on to another job… that I absolutely hated. I met a few great people and then made some crazy decisions to quit my job, visit family and work on the road for a little bit; all while trying to figure out what I truly want to pursue.

I have some new ventures on the horizon, and couldn’t be more excited for the future; albeit I’m also very anxious at the same time! I’ve learned so much over the past year, and will continue to learn as much as I can. Whether it comes to absorbing new food techniques, improving health, or entrepreneurial endeavors. You can’t talk about the end of the year without recapping all of the food you may have eaten during the holidays. Some good or great (but bad for you, perhaps?), which is the situation that I find myself in. Back to some healthy foods, this month! To start it off I have a delightful breakfast that will fill you up and keep you going for hours!

I made some delicious Almond Butter the other day, and have been wanting to use it in oatmeal. Combining banana with the almond butter was a no-brainer, but adding cinnamon really took it to the next level.
