Blog With Nog

Karen brought over some egg nog that she didn’t need the other night. Took me a few days to remember it! I LOVEEEEEE egg nog, however, I actually prefer lighter versions. The real deal is awfully thick and the ingredient list isn’t the most glamorous. Silk makes an eggcellent soy nog!

But I did take the opportunity to put a splash in my oats, just for OPRAH 😉

Deck The Blog With Nog For Oprah

Today’s recipe:

  • 1/4 cup Scottish oats 
  • 3/4 cup water
  • ~2 tbsp nog
  • 1 small banana
  • Cinnamon + vanilla
  • "Dreaming of sugar" plum jam
  • Snowconut
  • Maranatha AB

Christmas Blend 

I felt like I had a hangover when I woke up this morning. Blaming the fact that I didn’t have coffee yesterday. Having half caf, half decaf was working perfectly for me – until I ran out of decaf! Now I’m hooked on a full mug of caf and am feelin’ it again. Gotta get some decaf ASAP!

IMG_0793 (640x427)

And after one sip: "OH CHRISTMAS TREE!" formed!!

IMG_0808 (640x427)

Gonna clean up the house to some carols (we’re having house guests tonight!) and then head over to Sculpt. Gotta squeeze in some more studying this afternoon – eek!

    Eggnog in the oats sounds good. But I’m like you, I don’t like the thick texture (or ingredient list) of normal eggnog. I have been wanting to try the soy “eggnog” to see it it’s any better!

    Have you tried Silk Nog? It’s AMAZING. A little thinner than nog but the flavor is dead on and it’s vegan. I’m sure it’d be great to cook oats in

    Morning Kath!

    I have a question for you regarding fortified cereals. I usually don’t have cereal for breakfast, because I always thinks oatmeal or eggs are healthier and heartier. But I just got a free box of TOTAL Blueberry and Pomegranate cereal and had a bowl with some soy milk this morning. (It was

    I was reading the Nutrition Facts and realized that it has 100% of almost every mineral/nutrient!

    And then it made me wonder – if this one bowl provides almost all of my daily nutrition requirements, do I still need to be taking my multivitamin and vitamin C supplements?
    (assuming my food intake is a healthy and balanced one).
    Could you answer that for me? If I had a bowl of this every morning, can I forego my multi + supplements?

    Thanks! Have a wonderful day! 🙂

      December 10, 2009 at 2:39 pm

      Suzanne,
      Good observation. The over-fortification of foods has been brought up in my classes. If you eat a serving of this cereal everyday, then you probably do not need a multivitamin. Especially if you eat other foods (like Luna bars) that are fortified too and a generally healthy diet. You would want to check calcium and particularly iron and perhaps do an assessment if you think you are missing any nutrients that a multi would provide that aren’t in the cereal. If you don’t eat it everyday, but only every now and then, then I wouldn’t worry about it -but perhaps skip your vitamin on that day.

      *Remember I’m not an R.D. yet!*

    Your oatmeal looks extra delicious today. I’ll have to try making mine with some soy nog soon!

    I feel you on the caffeine addiction dilemma. I hate to feel like I’m addicted to something but I’ve just come to accept that I am addicted to one cup of caffeinated coffee a day and that it’s okay in the realm of things that I could be addicted to. Once I made up my mind on this, I no longer spend time wondering/worrying about if this was the right day to skip the caffeine, why my head hurts, why I feel weird in the morning, etc. I need it. At least it’s not coffee all day long… or hard drugs 😉

    This is not going to be the most popular comment here, but is all you eat oatmeal? I’ve been following your blog for months in my RSS feed, and, with the exception of the FoodBuzz event you went to, a majority of the food you eat is… well it all looks like mush.

    How about a stir fry once in a while, or a crudité platter, or even a caprese salad. Just something, ANYTHING other than mush, please. 🙂

      Thank you very MUSH for your comment 🙂 I think you are quite mistaken – and perhaps are not reading very closely? Check my lunch for example. In any event, I’m thankful for the criticism because I wouldn’t want things to get too mushy around here.

    regarding the note above,
    understandable sentiment but i’m a hardcore

    oatmeal is just the base –
    you have such amazing variety in terms of toppings,
    you get vitamins etc from many different sources.
    you’re the dietician here –
