Just a typical morning bowl of oatmeal. The weird part about this breakfast was how I picked around the nuts. I don’t know why, but I wasn’t in to them this morning. The cinnamon and maple syrup were all the topping I needed. After breakfast I set to work on mega errands. Our laundry needed to be done immediately (our clothes reeked of smoke from our weekend away). On top of that we had dirty dishes, an empty fridge, a thirsty tomato plant, and much much more. To do list, game on. Eventually, I… Read more >

What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast. Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup. It was stellar! I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it. I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

I woke up wanting oats with almond butter. Problem: no almond butter in the pantry. But I wasn’t willing to entertain any other breakfast ideas. So I set to work. Dry roasting almonds until they started to smell…toasty. I think it was ~10-25 minutes at 375 degrees. No oil. Nada. Just nuts in the pan. They took a long time to cool. Too long. I got impatient and tossed them in the food processor even though they were still warm. And then left them to process. From powdery to chunky to creamy smooth… Read more >

The most massive banana ever. At the perfect state of ripeness. A work breakfast (flaxy oatmeal) that I didn’t end up eating because I got cafeteria french toast instead. GAHHHHH!!! Why can’t I quit you!!! Quinoa, roasted veggies, and nooch up the yin yang. Greens, roasted veggies, hardboiled eggs, and avocado. Again, I nooch-ed it up post-photo. Curry tofu. It’s vegan, it’s FODMAPs free, and it’s in the book. SodaStream water with lemons from the neighbors tree. Yes, I put a whole lemon in my water. And I smashed it up and drank… Read more >

Remember last week when I was pancake crazy? Well. I’m back in an oatmeal rut. Almond milk, cinnamon, bananas, peanut butter & maple syrup. Rules for oatmeal (slash life): No playing favorites. Editing is not necessary (and often discouraged). Go big or go home. The more the merrier. You get the idea right? I like lots of toppings. And I like them all together. Of course I can’t forget to mention the principles of frugality: Waste not, want not. Never leave a man behind. A penny saved, is a penny earned. … Read more >
