Going Nuts

Actually, I’m not all that bad.

I feel quite great really. For the first few days on the other hand, I was hungry.
All. Of. The Time.

I’m getting over it, but when it’s already tough to figure out what to eat, snacking is even worse.  When I stopped to consider what I’d usually nibble on, I realized that, pretty much, everything was off limits. I even went for my morning granola. No go, it has dried fruit.

It came down to two things. The always good hummus with carrots was one, but then I was back on the granola. So to satisfy both the salty and the sweet cravings, I drizzled it with warm maple syrup and a drop of oil before baking and salted it on the way out. Flax, sunflower seeds, pepitas, oats and almonds.
A little birdy, but it sure hit the spot.
