Favorite Things

Woohoo, it’s Friday!!!

You know what that means  :)  Jeans at work and the start of the weekend!

I should have known it was too hot for oatmeal, but I tried it anyways.

oatmeal

My trick to being able to eat it if I’m already hot in the morning is to use frozen berries. They cool down the oatmeal just enough, and the hot oatmeal thaws the berries at the same time.

Today, my bowl had:

  • 1/2 cup oats, 1  cup water, pinch salt
  • cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup or so frozen mixed berries, stirred in at end
  • handful fresh raspberries + blackberries
  • 1 Tbsp sliced almonds

oatmeal

No matter the weather, oatmeal will always be one of my favorite breakfasts.
