Before I get into my snack bar reviews, lets start with my favorite meal of the day: breakfast. Unless I have something in mind (Let’s be honest, I usually think about what I am going to have for breakfast before I go to bed!), my breakfast cravings tend to be non-existent in the morning; I [...]
I love coming home to my mom’s pottery. I found this bunny dish (PERFECT for Easter!) and knew I had to have my oats in it this morning. I have a minor obsession with cups, bowls, plates and serving items. It is probably equally as bad as my obsession with nut butter, jams/spreads, granola [...]
Happy Lick-Your-Almond-Butter-Jar-Clean Day Friday. Remember that almost empty jar I pictured yesterday? Well, I made sure to put it to good use today with Oats In a Jar! I have done this before with overnight oats, however; putting warm stove-top oats in a jar makes for an infinitely better melty-almond experience. I used my standard [...]
Dear Oats, I miss you. Love Always, Nora. I haven’t had my beloved stove top oats in a few days, and oh how I have missed them! There is nothing better than a bowl of creamy, luscious and hearty oats to start the day off right. I can honestly say that no other breakfast satisfies [...]
Growing up we always had a special breakfast on Sunday mornings. My dad was the breakfast chef in our house, and would make amazing omelets, Strawberry Belgian Waffles or French Toast after church every Sunday. This is a tradition that I have carried with me into my adult years, and I try to make it [...]
Happy Saturday! I woke up this morning refreshed with oats and mango on my mind. I had some extra time and decided to make the ultimate stove top oats: Chia-Banana Cooked Scottish Oats with Mango-Orange-Passionfruit Compote, Coconut Cream, Crunchy Almond Butter, Sliced Banana and Blueberries. Holy smokes, toppings galore! Hidden under the toppings is a [...]
Happy Friday! My morning oats are finally back! And thank goodness! While I typically do enjoy mid morning snacks, yesterday I was absolutely FAMISHED a few hours after breakfast (way hungrier than usual, and after calculating my actual “breakfast to famished” time it was 2 hours not 3). I determined the only breakfast that truly [...]
I woke up this morning FREEZING! My body was intensely craving the comfort of warm oats and peanut butter. (I didn’t have peanut butter in pure form yesterday for National Peanut Butter Day, so I am thinking it was a belated celebration craving? I have also been having a constant internal struggle about whether I [...]
I’m a self-professed dark chocoholic and an almond butter addict. Put the two together, and I can not resist. I have been eyeballing MaraNatha’s Dark Chocolate Almond Spread, for a while now, and since I never stick to my grocery store list (all I actually needed were apples and bananas) it happened to find its [...]
Oy Vey! This post is somewhat gross, but has a feel good ending so stay tuned. Having your eyes glued shut is NOT a good way to wake up in the morning. Lately I’ve been having a bit of sinus pressure, nothing serious, but it has come with post nasal drip and some eye puffiness. [...]
