Ladera Granola Immortal Chocolate Almond

Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

If you've been reading my blog, then you know that I've been trying to make some changes, and that we are starting our journey to healthier eating.

Well, the timing for this product review couldn't have been more perfect. If you remember, I tried Ladera Granola earlier this year, and you can read that review here. I liked the granola, and when I heard about Immortal Chocolate Almond, I jumped at the chance to give it a try. Hello, you said chocolate!




Well, with our new way of trying to eat real food, I'm trying to eat less processed, and if I can't pronounce the ingredients list, we are trying to stay away from that food.


You want to know the ingredients in the Ladera Granola Immortal Chocolate Almond? It's WHOLE grain oats, slivered almonds, olive oil, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and salt. So basically, I know what I'm eating. And I personally feel good about that.

Now, the real test, how did it taste? I loved it! A quarter cup (the serving size) was actually just the right amount to satisfy my sweet tooth. But with the almonds and the oats, I also got a crunch. It was really the best of both worlds. And that was just plain. I would imagine it would be awesome in yogurt, and well of course on ice cream ;)

But, I asked Hubby to give it a taste. He wasn't thrilled to try it. He's not a big fan of chocolate. I mean he likes chocolate. He just isn't crazy about it. But he reluctantly took a small pinch. Then, he reached for more ;). I said, be honest, what do you think? He said it was 'pretty good' and coming from him that's a pretty big compliment. So he'll be getting some in his lunchbox since he liked it.

The slogan for Ladera Granola is "We're nuts about natural."

I really like that slogan, and so far, I've really liked their products. Check Ladera Granola out at their website http://laderagranola.com. You an also find them on facebook and twitter.

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual ...

Feel All the Feels Then Deal

Not what I expected when the phone rang. It was a routine dermatology appointment.  "Do you have any concerns?" “Yes, a small spot on my face. It comes and goes. Two weeks ago it had disappeared (again). So I'm actually glad that it’s back.”  It was the size of a pin head. It was teeny tiny. A nuisance, but not something that really seemed to bother me. “I suspect that it’s skin cancer.”  “So, we just burn if off, right?” “No, it needs to be cut out and sent to the lab.” I was not prepared for this. It’s on my lip! She’s going to cut a hole in my lip! She warns me that the shot is going to hurt and possibly a lot. She tells me this several times. (I’m thinking surely it can’t be that bad.)  I was wrong.  It hurt.  A lot.  I’m creeped out at the thoughts of her taking a chunk off of my face at the top of my lip. I’m even more creeped out as she tells me she’s going to burn it to stop the bleeding. Time and time again I hear the sizzle and the smell is n...

It's Been a Hot Minute

It's been a hot minute since I've written anything.... over a year. Between being a mom, full time student, and a substitute teacher during a pandemic, writing hasn't been a priority. More than once,  I've felt like I was in survival mode with classes. I didn't expect early block  to be so intense.  I admit that I broke down and cried several times this semester with feeling overwhelmed. But, I endured until the end, and I got straight A's for the semester. I'm proud of myself that I didn't give up. I am enrolled in 2 summer class, and 4 fall classes and studying for standardized tests that I must pass before I can begin my student internship.  I will be close to 50 when I graduate. Am I too old to do this? Who starts a career at 50????? I guess I do. I don't know what's going to happen when I graduate. I do know that I am enjoying the course work, and I'm enjoying being able to put what I have learned into practice as a substitute.  This sch...
