Okay, okay…maybe I’m taking the easy way out on this one 
I wanted to start answering some of your burning questions, so I picked one that I figured would be the easiest.
Veronica (one of my best friends from back home!) asked:
If you could pick one thing to eat every day, what would it be?
Of course….my first thought was oatmeal.
I mean, how can you beat either a warm, comforting bowl on a cool morning or a cold bowl of muesli during the summer?
How many other things can you use in so many ways and have in a sweet or savory dish?
Today’s breakfast confirmed that oatmeal is definitely one of my favorite things to eat.
I think you could add just about anything to oatmeal and it would be good.
Today, my oatmeal base was:
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 cup water
- pinch salt
- 1 small banana, sliced
- cinnamon
Once that was cooked, I added my favorite Nuts over Raspberries TJ’s Trail Mix!!!
Oh, how I’ve missed you, trail mix.
These dried raspberries are amazing, and I love the dark chocolate chips. It just makes breakfast so decadent.
I love oatmeal. I love it so much that I’ve had it for 2 meals in a day in the past.
The strange thing is that I didn’t eat it until I was in college! I never really liked the texture, and I just wasn’t a big “breakfast” person until a few years ago. Now everything has changed
So…the one food I could eat everyday? Definitely oatmeal.
But – I could also make a case for:
- nuts / nut butter
- roasted veggies
- avocado
Plus a few more, I’m sure.
If YOU could pick one food to eat every day, what would it be?

I am so with ya on the oatmeal choice!! I love the stuff and pretty much do eat it every day already
except today… for some reason the cinnamon kashi was calling my name
Bananas! For some reason, I feel like I need to have one every. Single. Day.
I love oatmeal b/c it’s so versatile! I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But Greek yogurt is a must!
I completely agree with you on being able to have oatmeal everyday… even twice a day. As a matter of fact I have a pot on the stove as I type this!
Avocados!
I would eat oatmeal everyday if I could but because of my inflammation/gluten free issue, I can’t. Sigh. So, I guess next up is chocolate
BROCCOLI!!!!! or PB.
as far as a meal…. My PB, Jelly, Greek yogurt, spinach wrap!!!!
Nut Butter!
Or fruit, but that’s like a category, not a food. I guess nut butter is too
Absolutely oatmeal!! But it’d have to be oatmeal with PB and a banana. It’s my favorite.
Oatmeal all the way. Like you said it can be served warm, hot, chewy, sweet, or any way you like.
AGREED
oatmeal is perfect…versatile, warm, healthy, comforting… everything I want in a man, I mean – a meal 
I could definitely have guessed your choice would be oatmeal
hey, at least it’s healthy!!
I would have to go with squash I think–butternut, acorn, pumpkin–there’s just so many variations and possibilities. My unhealthy choice–ice cream!
)
I’m with you on the oatmeal. SOOOOO versatile. And filling! ANd good!
Peanut Butter – for sure. I think I do it every day too?
dark chocolate, hands down! I need to buy some of that trail mix!!
kabocha definitely!!!
yummy bowl !
Oh my gosh so many choices, I’m not sure what I would pick. But I love the way your oatmeal looks today, makes me want to dive right in.
Agreed on the oatmeal… it will never steer you wrong!! And such good morning fuel
That or cereal for the rest of my life and I would never, ever complain..
Probably bananas. There’s so many ways to eat them! Plain, with almond butter, in oatmeal, in a smoothie, as icecream etc..
Oatmeal sure is good, though!
I would have said oatmeal too
Oatmeal is a great choice! If tomatoes were in season all year round, I’d pick tomatoes…
Yeah…oatmeal is a winner for sure! I nudge towards saying bananas because I eat them so much and they are so versatile…but so is oatmeal! Gah! I love that for me oatmeal is all about what I add to it but my boy likes his plain as it gets and will accept no additions – it’s a versatile canvas AND delicious on its own! Winner!
ahhh oatmeal is such a good pick! i could make a good case for ice cream, yogurt and salad as well. yay for questions – i will need to think of something good to ask ya!
If my oatmeal looked like that, I’d want to eat it every day as well!
Yumm!
Hmm I’m definitely like that with cold cereal–it’s something that I could eat every day, all day, depending on what kind it is!
I’m with you on the oatmeal. Every other thing I think about I usually add to oatmeal: fruit, yogurt, chocolate, nuts, spices, everything!
Those oats look so decadent! And I think I have to agree with you on the oats decision
That raspberry looks like a heart! Cheerful way to start the day
Hmm, this is a toughy! I’d probably have to go with oats… and nut butter… and chocolate… now who’s taking the easy way out?!
I didn’t eat oatmeal until college either. Yours always looks so good, it makes me wish I ate it more often.
Food I could eat every day? Sandwiches.
Q&A seshes are fun! ice cream is my pick. although it does not happen or i would be the size of a whale
For some reason I thought that would be then answer!!! You know what I was thinking about on my 13hr flight? I wonder if you are getting side stitches when you are running because you are drinking too much water before you run. I don’t know if you are, but that could be the case. I have to be careful how much water I drink before I run or I get horrible cramps. It was just something that I thought about on my never ending flight!
how do i pick! hahaha….but if i had to i would pick roasted carrots. i know call me crazy! hahah

Um, we are the same person! Not only are avocados, roasted veggies, and oatmeal on my “could-eat-daily-list”, but I had oatmeal with chocoate chips this AM. Yum.
I would have to add cookies to that list too…
I say peanutbutter and Kashi cereals!!! I love all their cereals~
