Nick + Jen are very much into interesting ingredients, so I made them a Mesoamerican oatmeal feast for breakfast featuring Aztec chia seeds and Mayan Cacao nips + coconut butter 🙂
Everyone got to add their own toppings – mine included cacao nibs, coconut, cacao bliss and Barney Butter. Mmmmm!!!
Jen said it was the best oatmeal she’d ever had, and Newman says he might just get up 10 minutes earlier to make some before work 😉
Half moon Peppermint Creme
I just sent them on their way to Asheville and am headed to the gym myself. Then STUDY time!! Same gameplan as Wednesday – meeting at EarthFare, exam at 3PM. I try not to go to EF more than once a week because it is expensive, but we decided to make this week an exception because of exams. Maybe I’ll get soup today!

What a lovely (and creative!) bowl of oatmeal. Last night I made whipped banana oats for the first time – I liked them! Perfect for the frigid weather we are experiencing up north…

These oats look sooooo goo! I could never get sick of eating oats- there’s just so many ways to change ’em up if you get creative; plus they’re a very healthy breakfast pick.

Good luck with exams!!

Hi Kath – good luck on your test! I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned it on your blog before, but was wondering how long you heat your milk for before putting it in your coffee. Thanks!!
Kath says
30 seconds in the microwave!

I’d like to hang out with Nick and Jen. Tell Nick to throw all the oatmeal ingredients into a bowl the night before so it’s ready too cook in the morning….also, I know u’d probably die, but the microwave works just as well 😉
Cole says
Good luck on with studying!
And do you find EF to be more expensive than Fresh Market? I have both in my area and I’ve always found Fresh Market to be a little pricier.
Kath says
I actually think FM is a little more expensive. More gourmet, less everyday ingredients.
Tay says
Seeing your peppermint coffee everyday is really making me crave some. I’m still working on my pumpkin coffee, but I think I might have to go out and purchase the peppermint!
Good luck with studying!!
Carolyn says
Soup sounds good. I’m having leftover chili for lunch! 🙂

Kath, I just found your blog today and I absolutely love your bio. I am new to blogging, and enjoyed reading today’s post but was really qued in when you mentioned “rotation”. I am also an RD to be. 🙂 Currently in my senior year of undergrad.. and I’m always interested in others’ internship experiences so I look forward to following your blog. P.S.

What a pretty spoon! And good luck with finals!!!
Chelle says
Where did you get that Vixen reindeer cup? Very cute. And your oatmeal looks delicious. thanks to you, I already ordered the peppermint coffee from Fresh Market or whatever it’s called. It should arrive in a few days. Yum.
Kath says
It’s from Pottery Barn. An Xmas gift!
Ashley says
I must get some of that Peppermint Creme while I’m home in Cleveland. No TFM’s in Colorado…Have a great weekend!!
LFD says
This is completely unrelated to your blog…but you’ve inspired me to create my own! What blog site (free) do you recommend starting with which is most user-friendly and has lots of fun editing tools?? Thanks!
Kath says
WordPress.com is the best free one. You wont’ be able to change that much without hosting the blog yourself, which is more complicated but worth it in the long run.
Kath
