Ok, this is Blog post attempt Take 2 - UGH!!
Had an entire post written and poof...Firefox froze up and ate my post.
I am SO not happy right now.
I WAS talking about adjusting to the new training schedule. I like it, but I would like to run more so I may adjust it just a bit. Today was a rest day and I did about 45 minutes of cardio. I am not good at doing nothing!
We'll see, when I get done pouting about the blog post and then have some awesome soup, I may take a look at it.
Before Christmas, the wonderful folks at NuNaturals contacted me and asked if I would try out some of their products. I love my stevia and I am an actual baker, so I am all in for the NuStevia!
Over the past few weeks, I have been using the different flavored NuStevia liquids in my muffins. I have also been adding them to my daily decaf (that I love!)

Today I used this to compliment my carrot cake muffin!

| It even smells amazing! |
This isn't the first time I've made a carrot cake muffin, but I did a few tweaks here and there and I really wanted to use this Orange NuStevia. Here's a little peek at your blog bonus (haha!)...

This isn't a comment to the post, but saw the recipe and thought you might be interested. Although not perfect as is, thought it had potential as a famous Michelle redo.
