oatmeal

Just a Wednesday

You must be sick of non-food (aka house progress) posts by now, huh? Ok, how about my work food for a change of pace (slash return to the real reason I blog). Breakfast…   Oats, puffed millet, white chia seeds and sunflower seed butter on top. You want me to back up with that?   1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups boiling water + 1/4 cup puffed millet + 1 tbsp chia seeds   Once I let them sit a bit, the water got soaked up and the chia seeds gelled, so… Read more >

p.s. chai love you

Is there anything better than a warm mug of chai tea with almond milk? If so, I’d love to try it.  Chai infused breakfasts oats are a start.  And Chai cookies are in my future.  But for now, I’m going to delight in the simplicity of this tea. Work food. Oatmeal with ground flax seeds, blueberries and vanilla almond milk. Fried millet with veggie and hard boiled egg. Carrots, banana, candied ginger as snacks.  Not my usual haul because this was for an 8 hour day, not the full 12.  Luckily we were done with… Read more >

Snacks & the City

That last post had some pretty scenery from the weekend, but not a lot of eats.  Here’s a recap of last weekend at home, in food format. To start the road trip off on the right foot, I got a big kale, spinach, beet, carrot, and ginger juice.  Pink pee is especially fun when you’ve been holding your bladder for 4 hours.  We stopped twice on the drive home and arrived in L-town just in time for dinner.  I had a pumpkin Bolani and salad. The next morning we slept in, which meant coffee and… Read more >

Savory leftover meals

Peek-a-boo!   Breakfast, lunch or dinner…it doesn’t really matter…some things are good at any time of the day. Like grains and beans with a fried egg on top.   Or savory oats with tofu ricotta. Having leftovers makes waking up easy delicious.  It’s as easy as one, two, three… Making the meal only takes as long as it takes to boil water.  1 cup whole rolled oats + 1 1/2 cups water + pinch of salt    1 fried egg + 1 scoop tofu ricotta   If you’re wondering, yes, it tasted as awesome as… Read more >

Ironically ill

I got this in the mail a few days ago, but I haven’t tried it yet. Ironically, I am in the middle of quite a cold. Kyle has yet to catch it, which I’m attributing to both the Ultra Immune serum and my anal hand hygiene.  I’m a clean-a-holic anyways (side effect of nursing), but when I’m sick I get really OCD about it. The last time I got sick I complained about the lack of natural products on the market.  Aside from tea, I don’t really have a go-to remedy. In seeing the pure… Read more >
