Good morning and Happy Friday!!! Hooray, it’s finally here 
Thank you for all your ideas for the peaches + coconut milk! I only had a little left, so I decided to use a little bit in my breakfast this morning.
I’m already missing the early sunrises of summer 
The lighting isn’t nearly as good at this time of morning!
I still had just some of the plain oat groats that I cooked up earlier this week, so I heated up the following:
- 1 cup cooked oatgroats
- 1/4 banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp coconut milk
I put that in a bowl and just heated in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Then I stirred it all up, topped with the rest of my 1/2 of the banana and some chopped almonds.
The coconut milk gave this such a great flavor! And I loved it with the bananas + almonds.
It was a very tropical way to start out my Friday in the cool mountains.
What are you looking forward to today / this weekend?
We probably have tickets to the football game tomorrow, so I am excited about that. Should be fun!

I’m heading to D.C. and I get to see one of my best friends that I haven’t seen in a few months. have a great weekend!

Today = relaxing but this weekend is all work so I’m not really looking forward to that very much
Woohoo for football tickets though!
alright, you’ve convinced me – i am opening up my can of coconut milk soon and putting it in oatmeal. tropical flavors are one of my faves!
mmm i bet the coco milk really made these yummy! I am looking forward to my quarterly tomorrow
and then CRASHING all day Sunday haha. Enjoy the football game!
Today I’m looking forward to doing some yoga. I haven’t done some in weeks and my back is starting to complain. I think I’m going to get out my DVD and do a long session. I’m also looking forward to the farmers market to buy some local treats to send to some friends.
Enjoy the football game. As much as I love it on TV it is so much more awesome in person. That’s how I got into football to begin with. High school Marching band! And the cool drum line who were patient with me to teach me the rules
Love those guys still.
you’re a lucky girl with all that live football… i think that’d be more fun than watching my fiance yell at the tv
I’m looking forward to realxing and college gameday with the hubby! And some running of course!
Hi Brandi,
I hope you go to the game!
This weekend on Saturday we are going to the carnival in town and Sunday we are going to the mall to see icarly.
(icarly = nickelodeon show)
(me + my 4 year old + 1000 screaming kids)
(yeah)
Thanks Holly for the hint that coconut milk comes in a can, Yesterday I looked in the refrigeration section…dah!
It’s been forever since I’ve said this, so I’m just going to throw it out there. I am so excited to do homework. Seriously.
Am I a mega nerd?
I have a twin sister and our best friends are twins, and Sunday is our monthly get together – we met in 3rd grade and have been friends ever since!
They were the first twins we met
And since I am a football widow on Sunday’s, I don’t feel bad leaving my hubby and step-son behind. And Hannah has to work.
Happy Friday!
I think these pictures are awesome! That looks so good.
I had a big banana and some walnuts in my oat bran this morning. That combo always keeps me full for awhile! I should get some oat groats. I’ve been craving all manner of whole grains lately. I should add them to the mix!
Have a great weekend!
This weekend I am looking forward to sleeping!!! Is that completely pathetic?! I’m just so exhausted. I’m also totally buying coconut milk because of you – can’t wait to try it!
