Peanut Butter Almond Goodness

Breakfast was amazing this morning! First, I made some creamy oatbran using almond milk. I am a milk lover but almond milk is a delicious change in my oats. I then added a spoonful of natural peanut butter and Voila! A super quick, super easy, super yummy breakfast

It’s almost too warm out for a hot breakfast now. I always feel like it warms me up from the inside out and now I am too hot! I shouldn’t complain though – although the sun is out right now, they’re calling for rain later. Sounds chilly!

With a cup of white tea:

Haha, I always have to do a top view when I include tea because my mug is huge! It holds almost two cups – I measured it out once.

See you for my evening review

Something different

Sorry for the late breakfast post, I slept in again this morning. I didn’t get as much studying done yesterday as I’d hoped, so I was reading my notes in bed last night and lost track of time. I’m still taking advantage of the lazy weekend morning today and made some Apple Pie Oatbran.

This was tasty and filled the desire for something other than bananas, but it was missing a little something. I’m not sure what, but I think it just wasn’t sweet enough to taste like pie. If I wasn’t trying to make it taste like apple pie I would have thought it was really good though! I don’t think I’ve ever had pie with icing before though, so maybe it wasn’t pie that I was craving after all! Here it is again, with white tea:

Even though it’s not perfected yet, I posted the recipe below and added a link to the recipe section.

A slow start

I am moving slowly this morning! I couldn’t get to sleep until almost 4am, so needless to say my alarm was very unwelcome at 7. Good thing breakfast was all ready for me and I didn’t have to think! Who knows what would have ended up in my bowl then?

As I posted last night, breakfast was muesli. I will have to get a better pic for the recipe section, but this is what I’ve got today. Tastes a lot better than it looks! I’m also having some of this:

Tea (caffeine!) I am drinking the tea as I type and bringing the apple with me to eat after spinning. I’m also bringing an oatmeal pancake – wow I am tired, almost typed waffle there! I ground up the oats in my food processor before making this guy to see what the difference is. It looks like a more pancake – like texture, but I will report back at lunch with the final verdict.

My plan for this morning is spinning class, followed by my last occupational health & safety class – YAY! I’ll of course still have to write the exam, but no more boring lectures for that class After that I’ll be home for lunch, see you then.

Recovery time!

I’m definitely feeling the effects of too much good food yesterday! I woke up this morning feeling a bit queezy so I started off my day like this:

Which was also accompanied by this:

Okay, I didn’t drink all that before breakfast. It’s probably not the best idea to fill my belly too much at any one time today, so I’m still working on the fluids. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Once I was hydrated, I felt a bit more human, so I decided to get started on breakfast. I had a hankering for some nice, creamy banana oatmeal. I decided to measure things out this morning and post my oatmeal techniques in my new recipe section. In the previous post, I posted my super easy weekday oatmeal technique, which I used today since I wasn’t feeling great.

This really hit the spot and I feel back to my old self now, except that I still feel like my stomach is huge today

Since it’s already almost 1PM, I think it’s safe to say lunch and supper will be delayed a bit! I think I’ll post them both this evening.

Late morning…

Good morning!

It feels so good to sleep in this morning, but I’m still exhausted since I couldn’t sleep until sometime after 2:30am. I still wanted to sleep more, but I thought I’d better get up or there would be no hope for tonight!

I had a simple oatbran breakfast this morning. I microwaved 1 cup of milk with 40 grams of dry oatbran until the milk was absorbed, then I mixed in 1 small banana. Sometimes I heat the banana too, but today I had a hankering for raw banana

Here it is with a big cup of white tea:

Up next is grocery shopping, a spinning class and then I’ll see you for lunch.
