The day after

The day after a holiday usually all you have to show for it is presents and leftover food. I think the best part is the leftovers, it makes the next day tasty and easy.

In the mix: Bob's apple cinnamon hot cereal, oat bran, water, and almond milk.

Topped with: warmed up pear sauce, all natural pb, Tj's low fat vanilla almond granola, and leftover strawberries.

V-day weekend

In this morning's mix: Oat bran, Bob's spice n nice hot cereal, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.


Topped with: Warm pear sauce, unsweetened coconut, all natural pb, dried cranberries, and Quaker squares.

Tomorrow I have a really special V-day breakfast planned, so make sure you check it out.

But for now I'm off to work and then heading to the gym afterwords. I was super sore yesterday and I also had dinner plans. So I ended up taking yesterday as a rest day.

Back to normal

Everything seems to be all back to normal including oats for breakfast.

In the mix:
1/4 cup oat bran
2 TB. Bob's spice n nice hot cereal
splash organic non fat milk (I don't really like milk, but I'm trying to use it up)
hot water

Topped with blueberries, all natural pb, pure maple syrup, Quaker squares, and Bear Naked vanilla almond granola. The blueberries and maple syrup give the oats a nice blueberry pancake taste, yum.

Now if I could just get my email worked out then things would be perfect.

Countdown

It's almost that time. Rest, relaxation, good food, family, friends, presents, and fun, can't wait. Just 8 hrs. until I get there.

In the mix:
1/4 cup Bob's hot cereal varieties
2 Tb. quick cook oats
1/4 tsp. chia seeds
1 cup hot water
splash soymilk
1/4 of a diced banana stirred in at the end

Topped with
raw carrot honey
unsweetened coconut

Sipping on some peppermint green tea. I have such fun plans for tonight, I can't wait to get the work day over with and start my three day weekend.

Cookie's

Last nights cookie party at my friends house was a lot of fun. We made dozens after dozens of cookies for her co workers. I took a little sampling home that I'm going to freeze and save for Christmas. I brought home a peanut butter kiss, moos poop (that's what I was told it was called), and the best one of the night lemon white chocolate chip.

After all my baking yesterday breakfast was simple this morning.
In the pot:
1/4 cup various Bob's hot cereals
splash soymilk
1 cup hot water
1/4 of a diced pear stirred in at the end

Topped with
Yogi walnut spice granola
unsweetened coconut

A classic

I had two of my favorites this morning, pear sauce and homemade granola.
In the pot:
1/4 cup Bob's hot cereal variety's mixed together
1 cup hot water
splash soymilk
Simple but delicious combination.

Topped with
a generous amount of warmed up pear sauce
peanut butter
homemade raisin chocolate chip granola
Yogi walnut spice granola

Mis match

What could it be for breakfast today?

A mix of leftover hot cereals. On my last Bob's red mill run I bought a bunch of hot cereals. Well each one didn't completely fit in the jars I put them in. So whatever was left went into another jar and now that jar is a hot cereal mis match. I used up some of that mis match this morning.
In the pot:
1/4 cup Bob's hot cereal mix
2 TB. quick cook oats (for texture)
1.5 cups hot water
splash soymilk
1/4 tsp. chia seeds

Topped with the most delicious toppings
raisins, granola, dark chocolate chips, unsweetened coconut, and peach all fruit spread.

Warm and toasty

Today I felt like hot creamy hot cereal.
In the pot:
1/4 cup Bob's apple cinnamon hot cereal
1 TB. oat bran
1.5 cups hot water
splash soymilk

Topped with
almond flax butter
sliced banana
homemade granola (the last of it, I need to make some more)
raisins

My appetite in the morning has not been there this weekend. It must be the extra carbs at dinner. Time to get back to regular eating.
