What’s up blog stalkers?! HAHA, no worries – chances are I stalk your blog just as much 
I’m still not 100% but haven’t gotten worse. It’s all in my throat right now. I came home last night and did 30 Day Shred, level 2 and by the end, my lungs were on fire – they hurt so much! I’m trying to just hang on through the next crazy week and then am thinking I can slow down. Ah…if only life would slow down, right?

I am realizing I really do go in spurts. I went for about a month and ate more eggs than a farm could produce. Now I’m back at the oats. But as I mentioned before (or maybe on Twitter), I’m having a field day with old-fashioned oatmeal. Wanna know the difference between old-fashioned oatmeal and instant? There really is no time difference at all. Old-fashioned oatmeal is big – like whole oats. The instant is little flakes of oatmeal (which is why it’s suppose to cook faster.)
The other day I decided I was going to make
my own apple cinnamon oatmeal.
I first cut up the apples, added a little bit of water, sprinkled
with a little cinnamon and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes.
YUM! Look at them chunks! No way
instant will ever be that chunkified.
Next up, I used some pecan pieces & dried cranberry’s.
OMG, I really love this! It is so yummy!
Like really good.
As in… lemme lick the bowl clean good.
Finally, I tried another goodie. A smashed up banana.
Added some oatmeal & pecan pieces.
A little brown sugar & splenda.
HOLY YUMNESS, I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow!
The best part? A cup of old-fashioned oatmeal is about 150 calories
but ends up cooking a much bigger bowl than a packet of instant
oatmeal. So I get more oats for a little more calories. Most of my
toppings are around 50-75 calories (except the banana one) and
my concoctions keep me full all morning!
Yesterday afternoon, I was so snacky. I hit the candy bowl a
couple times too many so decided to make some oatmeal.
And…cuz I was in a creative mood I decided to throw some
Annie’s Organic Bunny Fruits in my oatmeal!
I was pretty sure I was genius!
Until I added the hot water and slowly sadly
watched the little bunnies melt. After about 2
minutes the little bunnies were no more.
POOR BUNNIES!
