It's been a l-o-n-g week!
The worst part of my week was getting stranded on the side of the highway and having to walk several kilometres in my gym clothes (and no jacket) after I just finished a run because I don't know how to change a tire (Unfortunately, the problem was MUCH bigger and more expensive than just a flat tire).
Who doesn't know how to change a tire?
It turns out that everything Granny has ever said about having extra clothes in the car and carrying a cellphone is correct.
The week wasn't all bad. There were visits with Granny, dinner with my dad, making home made healthy lunchables with my students, some really great runs and of course good food.
Hello, berry chia parfaits!

Top with you favourite frozen (or fresh) fruits (mango, cherries, peaches, blueberries, strawberries, etc.) . You can add lemon extract to the fruit if you are looking for a little extra zing.

Finish with several heaping tablespoons of your favourite granola. We love maple granola, turtles granola and punchy granola (think ginger, cranberries, chocolate).
