I eat a LOT of oatmeal. Some might say that I have an oatmeal obsession. Every day I wake up early, at least an hour and a half before I have to leave for work, just so I can make, sit down and thoroughly enjoy a quiet bowl of oatmeal. A typical bowl includes rolled [...]
Monday madness began first thing. I had one of those “how is it already time to wake up?” moments followed by a pounding headache provided by the barking dog downstairs. For the first time in a long time I starred at my refrigerator completely dumbfounded for a solid five minutes before deciding what I was [...]
1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/8 cup instant oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, 1/2 banana, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, 1 TBS crunchy almond butter, sunshine raspberries and golden raisins. Sunshine and spice and breakfast is nice. Sweet, tart, creamy, crunchy, chewy and warm–this bowl had it all. [...]
1/3 cup rolled oats, 2 TBS Vanilla Granola, 1.5 T Walnuts, 1 Banana, 1 Plain Siggi’s, Cinnamon and Honey. Despite the fact that I am in my 20′s, I still call my parents when I am not feeling well. There is something about the comfort of their voice and the though of home that makes [...]

In my oversize cappuccino mug: 1/4 cup oat bran, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/2 banana, 1 TBS chia seeds, 1 cup (plus ~1/3 cup added after stirring and cooking) water, cinnamon and [...]
Happy Wednesday! I thought you might be getting sick of my daisy bowl and cold oats, so I decided to switch things up for today with a new combination. Actually I’m lying, the daisy bowl is dirty. Enter: dancing crab bowl. For the first time in months I was craving hot oatmeal for breakfast. I [...]
I ran out of time to write a post this morning, however; the pictures were so beautiful that I wanted to share. Breakfast today was inspired by Caitlin and my new Farmer’s Market Honey, ‘Honey I Love You’. I love this name, it’s so clever! In my bowl: 1/2 cup raw rolled oatmeal, 1/4 cup [...]
Saturday was my last day working at the bakery. This job has been one of the best experiences of my life and has influenced me to pursue a career in the food industry. Working in the customer service bakery of a large grocery store has taught me the importance of consumer relations and shown me [...]
Happy Mother’s Day!!!! Mom: I have to wish you an extra Happy Mother’s Day since I am unable to be with you today:(. This is the first Mother’s Day that I have not been home for, and it makes me sad that I am unable to spend this special day with the most amazing woman [...]
Did I really just complete my undergraduate college education? Ladies and gentleman, at 4pm this afternoon I emerged from the confines of my minuscule apartment looking half-human and walked to campus to hand in my last college paper ever. It still hasn’t hit me yet. Do I really not have any readings to do? Tests [...]
