I woke up this morning to a curious kitten crawling under my comforter, snuggling in my arms and playing with my feet. Truffle attack: 6:45am. Time to rise and shine. I gave her food and tip toed into the kitchen, cautious not to make too much noise and wake the lady that lives in the apartment below me. As the cool breeze ran through my apartment, it picked up warm scents of cooked onion, garlic and green pepper from dinner last night. Yankee Candle should make a fragrance like this. Home cooking is the ultimate reminder of family and coziness.
1/3 cup quick oats, 1 TBS rolled oats, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, cinnamon, 1/2 banana, 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/3 cup water, heaping TBS crunchy almond butter, blackberries and golden raisins
Hot oatmeal and black coffee was on the menu for breakfast this morning. I enjoyed this warm meal while watching then news and snuggling up with a blanket on my futon. The curious kitten spent the morning investigating small spaces, carrying her favorite catnip mouse in her mouth. She questioned me as I played in the kitchen at such an early hour, annoyed that I was paying more attention to my pots and pans than I was to her. I gave her chicken to calm her ‘meows’ as I began to prepare a low-and-slow treat.
These Great Northern Beans have been soaking in my crock pot since yesterday afternoon and are ready for cooking. It’s going to be a labor-less cooking day today. I have actually been wanting to make a few dishes ALL summer and figured this last day was a good time to celebrate by making them.
To Be Continued,
Nora
