Breakfast Apéritif

Good [early] morning!!!

I made myself some coffee for my commute to warm me up and hopefully tide me over 2 hours until we have oatmeal in bowls to eat.

Mmmmm Peppermint Creme + Pumpkin Spice!!

IMG_3390 (640x427)

Nice and frothy! Help me identify that shape!?

I also packed a banana just in case hunger overcomes me

See y’all ’round 3PM!

    Good Morning.
    Super impressed that you can squeeze in a blog before you leave the house. I’ll be running out the door in a few minutes.

    The only shape I can see is a rock….which I thought was too unoriginal, but I see Naomi agrees.

    After reading your blog.. and then falling in love with oatmeal myself. I bought a slow cooker and have been making steel cut oats the night before and enjoying them perfectly cooked in the morning. Do you have any slow cooker recipes?

      I don’t have any slow cooker recipes because they are more annoying to clean than a pot. But there are plenty on the internet!

    I just bought frozen blueberries the other day and they make such an awesome dessert! I never thought of eating them that way before (I’ve only ever used them in smoothies), and it’s perfect for me as I try to get healthy/ lose weight in the new year! Thanks for such a great idea!

    I’m confused. I thought aperitif was a pre dinner drink, usually involving alcohol. Or is that just my interpretation of it. I don’t speak Italian, just Spanish and Latin, so I often think I can do Italian. Wait I know! google translator.

    “Apertif – An alcoholic drink taken as an appetizer before a meal.”

    Okay so now I feel like the grammer police.
