Make Mine Merry

How is it already Monday morning? I did not want to get out of bed this morning. The only thing that helped wake me up was thoughts of oatmeal – is that sad?  I don’t think so  :)

I needed a cheery breakfast to start my Monday off right  – what’s better than having your breakfast smiling at you?

  • 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, pinch salt
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
  • cinnamon!

She looks so happy to be starting the week. Maybe that feeling will rub off on me?

Since I didn’t have any nuts/nut butter in my oats this morning, I’m having a hard boiled egg along with my normal cup of milk. I need protein in the morning with my carbs!

Work should be pretty busy today, so I’m hoping the day goes by quickly. It’s still raining here though!!! I’m not sure if I’ll be able to run after work or not – I’m hoping it’s done raining by 5:30 tonight.

Best part of your weekend?

  5. I don’t know if you do this already but I take my frozen berries and put them in my oatmeal before I microwave it. They break apart in the microwave and spread their YUMMY taste throughout my whole oatmeal. It is AMAZING!

    • Thanks Kelly! I usually put them in at the end so it cools down the oatmeal a bit, but I should try it your way this week!
