The boys stayed up past 4am last night playing video games and for some reason I thought it’d be a great idea to sit up with them. Nooooooooooo.
Somehow I managed to drag myself out of bed for breakfast around 10. I packed a packed of Apple and Cinnamon quick oats from home.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this (Adam got the packet in a med school care package). I wouldn’t go with added sugars and finer cut oats on a daily basis, but as a convenience item it was pretty tasty.
I also had a tropical fruit cup I found at the store last night.
There wasn’t a lot of fresh fruit available, we went at closing time, but the nutritional stats on this were pretty good.
Lunch was another marriage of home food and in-law food. The banana and almond butter packet from home,
on a hamburger bun.
Yums. I think this is a snack I will be repeating at home!
It’s nap time around the house now, but this afternoon we are going bowling! I had hoped to get in a run while we were here but my left leg hurts so bad I can barely walk, what the hell is the deal?!? Post-bowling we are going out to dinner, and I think the family consensus is Mexican, so we’ll have to see how many vegan choices I have. See you in a while, crocodiles!
How do you make your oatmeal? Microwave, stove top, quick oats, packets, overnight??? I do Old Fashioned Oats, but in the microwave or soaked overnight.

Loved the almond butter&banana idea 🙂
Have fun!

i make steel cut oats in the crockpot overnight! it’s definitely the best way to eat oats! all you have to do is combine the oats and liquid in the crockpot before bed, and set it on low, and in the morning you have the most amazingly creamy and delicious steel cut oats that take no more than 5 min to prepare!
Kudos to you for being a soldier and staying up til 4A. I haven’t done that in forever and miss those days.
Oats wise-if I have the day off or its the wknd, I make them on the stovetop. If I am at work, I nuke them. I have heard about this whole overnight oats phenemonon but I am hesistant (something about the ultra mushy texture is really throwing me off)
I don’t discriminate with oats…I’ll have them every which way 😉 But I’ve got to say that my favorite is a tie between stove-top oats and overnight oats!
