Matt and I went up to bed at EIGHT THIRTY last night. I was ready to climb in and read and I thought "It’s not a weeknight – why on early are we in bed at 8:30!?"
You probably want to hear that we got dressed and went to a bar, but alas, we ended up falling asleep at 9:45 (after I watched House Hunters on Hulu 🙂 )
And then we slept and slept. I woke up at 7! We must have been really worn out.
I woke up with a bit of a sore throat today. Hope I’m not getting sick! Will have to pack greens into my lunch today….
…because breakfast was all about the oats!
THE MIX:
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill Apple Cinnamon Hot Cereal
- 1/4 cup soy milk
- 1/2 cup water
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 banana
- Vanilla
- [FORGOT the chia seeds!!!!]
- 1 tbsp cottage cheese (all that was left!)
- Crumbled Great Harvest Raisin Bran Muffin
- TJ’s PB Sauce (see this post for the technique – guess I need a recipe page!)
Super delicious bowl!! The sauce was good, but not as potent as regular PB, so I’m going to continue to flip flop back to normal PB eating methods for the majority oft the time.
With some coffee! Matt doesn’t pour it right so I don’t get fun froth when we both have it. He pours it too fast or something!?
HAPPY SUNDAY!!!! So excited for the day ahead 🙂
Jocelyn says
Looks like a delicious bowl this morning! Guess Matt just doesn’t realize the importance of froth in the morning lol….
p.s I go to bed early on weekends all the time lol
Freya @ foodfitnessandfreya.wordpress.com says
Wow that’s an early night!! The body knows what the body needs I suppose 🙂 I was up at 7 too, but went to bed 3hrs later than you haha!
Lovin the oatmeal combination, it looks beautiful 😀
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
There’s nothing wrong with going to bed early on a weekend! I was in bed by 9pm 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Going to bed early when you’re super tired is SO nice 🙂
Have a great Sunday!
Heather says
don’t feel bad I have been sleeping 9 hours on the weekends!
Jules @ eatdrinklivelearn says
There’s nothing better than catching up on sleep on the weekend! Hope you feel better.
Hannah says
Actually, I love that you guys just went to bed early. That’s my dream, if I ever find someone to love/love me back! Also, if he works at a place with muffins for oatmeal, all the better 😛
Daniel says
Weekends are made for sleeping in… or making awesome breakfasts, whichever one has a stronger pull on you in the morning. ^_^
Leena says
Sometimes going to bed early is all you need! I always feel so much more refreshed in the morning when I do!
Your oats sound delicious this morning too! that apple hot cereal sounds so good!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
A good long sleep is good for the body 🙂
Sorry to hear about the sore throat :/ I woke up with one too this morning!
Yummy oats… muffins on oats is the best!
christie @ honoring health says
Don’t worry, I stayed up plenty late for you 🙂 We traveled to NC in the morning and then came back late last night. I was like a wild party animal 😀
Jenna says
I have to tell you.. yesterday I registered for a dinnerware set and the pattern reminded me of a bowl I saw in one of your posts and LOVED. Today I was going through some of your posts to point out the bowl to my fiance and I realized how many beautiful and eclectic bowls and dishes you have! So jealous! I would love to have a collection like that 🙂
Simply Life says
so glad you were able to rest!
Andrea says
No shame in going to bed early!! I love that! Have a wonderful Sunday Kath!
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) says
Sometimes there’s nothing better than turning in early on a Saturday night, give you a chance to wake up early and get more out of your Sunday.
I love your muffin oats, it looks like such a great blend of textures.
Mae @ OhhMay says
Boo Matt!! You need to teach that boy some coffee lessons! 😉 JK
I hope you’re not getting sick, but a long rest always feels great. Have a good day!!
Danielle (Coffee Run) says
Sometimes I get a sore throat in the morning too. I think it’s because I sleep with my mouth open?? lol
Oats look delish- Enjoy your Sunday 😀
Karla says
I love early nights like that! I’m a grandma, 9:00pm on Saturday happens quite a bit 🙂
I’m okay with going to be early. I think I’m more of a morning person. I like to be up when the sun rises so I can enjoy the day!
Cole says
Sometimes the body just needs a super early night on the weekend!
Kristilyn (My 29th Year) says
My husband and I always go to bed early … I don’t like sleeping in so it works out well! My body doesn’t get confused either, since I’m usually up and to bed at the same time every day.
Oats look good! I made your oatmeal pancakes this morning – topped with mashed banana and syrup. Yum!

Jil says
I went to bed early last night, too — it felt good to have a full night’s sleep under my belt – especially when I’ve got a bunch of stuff to do on Sunday. I hope you’re not getting sick!! It seems like it’s that time of year, and everyone’s getting a little somethin’somethin’. The oats look amazing, so hearty and filling. Yummm.
Ameena says
I always feel weird when I go to sleep early on a weekend but sometimes there is just nothing I can do to stay awake. Usually it is better for me to hit the sack instead of getting the munchies and eating my way through a box of cereal!

I did the same thing last night haha…I passed out at 10pm while I was reading my book. I didn’t wake up till 9am this morning. I guess I’m in need of some sleep as well! those oats look delish as always!
Morgan @ Healthy Happy Place says
sleeping for 10-12 hours feels awesome sometimes, doesn’t it? I allow myself to sleep that much probably once every week or 2.
Sara says
I love house hunters! I watch it all the time and dream that one day I will be able to buy a house of my own! Sometimes it is the greatest feeling to go to bed early – hope you had a wonderful and restful sleep!
Nutritious Foodie says
Sometimes you just need sleep. I fell sleep on the couch last night at 8 PM and got up at 6:30 this morning…
Have a great Sunday!
Kati @ Living Well says
Sometimes your body just knows that it needs some extra sleep! And it always feels good :> Oatmeal looks great: I had to throw down a quick bowl of cereal before church!
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
I love Bob’s Red Mill 10 grain hot cereal so I’ll have to look out for that apple cinnamon! YUM! 🙂
Pam says
Tell that sore throat to leave you alone! Oatmeal looks great! Guess you will just have to have a coffee pouring 101 class with Matt….te he!
Enjoy!
Nicole, RD says
Yum, those oats look deeeelicious!
Michele | aka Raw Juice Girl says
Another gorgeous bowl of oats! 😉
Ack! Hope that sore throat goes away fast – you have to much to do!!
Sending healthy prayers your way…
Hugs,
Michele
Caitlin @ Right Foot Forward says
I slept in today, too – till 10:30, eek! I think that’s just the body’s way of saying it really needs rest. Have a great Sunday!
Stef says
hope your throat feels better! sometimes we all need to get some sleep at a grandma hour 🙂
Paula says
Waking up on Sunday morning after a good night’s sleep is the best! Hope you don’t get sick! LOL! I am picky about the way I make coffee. So, I always tell my husband, “I will do it!” 🙂
Molly says
Have you tried melting the PB in a separate dish in the microwave for 20-30 seconds? We love making the banana/walnut/PB oatmeal combo on weekends and I’ll reuse the dish I microwave “toasted” my walnuts in to heat the pb to a runny consistency.
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
wow – 8:30!!! the kids i babysat last night went to bed later than you! 😉
Maggie says
You can watch House Hunters on Hulu?? That is really great information. Thanks! Hope you’re feeling better!
Tara says
