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! :o)
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 :D
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~
