I LOVE LARABARs!
They pick the best combinations of fruit and nuts and name each combo with the most similar, & really yummy, desserts!
They make mini versions which I find great for an on-the-go snack or an after meal sweet! Wholefoods sells the minis in a packaged set or just check out the LARABAR website!
My favorites are Key Lime Pie, Peanut Butter and Jelly, and Cashew Cookie.
I also believe they come in a chocolate variety, I have yet to try ‘em, but for those of you that need a little chocolate on your bars this could be a great one!

It is, indeed, the cinnamon swirl. The deliciousness therein. Oh my! You know, I bet there’s a fan page for that out there…..

Ha! I’m so with you on the Starbucks’ reduced fat coffee cake. Cinnamon swirl, no? What is with the lure of that cake? I can’t order a coffee without feeling tempted. Glad to see I’m not the only one!

Sarah and Barb, I’d completely forgotten about that vegan before six thing! It’s great because it really is so easy to do, so you feel good about the whole process (which, I believe, is key). And, Kathleen, I think you’re approach is really, really smart. Research shows that it takes something close to ten days, I think, for a new behavior to become a habit (something we just do and don’t think about). I’ve talked to experts who’ve absolutely suggested that one-at-a-time approach for all sorts of things. I’d love to hear how it goes!

Love this idea. I will get on board for Meatless Mondays, because I’m headed that way already…will try a vegan before 6, too–interesting and a good approach: Better to have MUST eats than MUSTN’T eats.

My small steps plan was to add one thing for a day, and then try again for another day to see if it would last a week. Like a glass of water before each meal. Or a snack at 11 on the days I was having lunch at 2. Or just eating breakfast every morning. One good thing often bumped 2 or more not so good things off the day.

You know, I’ve been thinking about trying what Bittman is doing with his “vegan before 6pm” lifestyle-I don’t eat meat (except fish a couple times a month), but I am cheese OBSESSED and I think it’s starting to show!! I think the “small steps” approach is really a very reasonable idea!
