Hi Melanie — I tried clicking on “contact for more information” but it just took me back to main page. So I didn’t know how to email you directly — I’d like to discuss something with you. My email is available on my blog.
Sorry for so many comments today but I love your posts - hope you don’t mind. Lady Rose

Hi Tal,
Did you see the other post I did on Healthy Snack Ideas? It might be useful too.

Hmm…interesting, but who would eat just 3 tablespoons of breakfast cereal? That’s nothing!

Hi Hime,
The cereal serving is just a suggestion, not a rule. 3 tablespoons would keep the snack under 200 calories, which was the intention of the article.
