Morning! Nearly Afternoon!
Matt’s flight was delayed by an hour last night, so we didn’t end up going to bed until 1AM. Consequently, we slept till 9AM.
I had been 3 weeks since Matt has had KERF oatmeal, so by special request I made a big pot
VIDEOS
We incorporated some Great Harvest ingredients:
The end of a bag of Groovy Granola (which was incredibly crunchy!)
Huckleberry Preserves – with seeds! My fav
And a new kind of vanilla! It was a hint more marshmallow than usual – which you know I liked!
I also made the oats with leftover coconut milk, but sadly, I didn’t remember this until I started blogging so it wasn’t a noticeable difference.
The Mix
- 1/3 cup muesli mix (leftover from Matt’s trip)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (leftover – could barely detect it 🙁 )
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 giant banana
- Pinch salt
- Sprinkle cinnamon
- Groovy Granola
- GH Preserves
- Homemade crunchy peanut butter
Not sure what the day ahead holds, although I feel like we’ve just blown through the first half of it for sleeping so late and blogging taking up the better part of the pre-noon hours!
That vanilla sounds great! And I love preserves with seeds, but my bf doesn’t because they hurt his teeth! I think he has sensitive teeth though 🙂
Yum! Feel free to come to MY house and make oats for me anytime you wish 😉 Hehe. I didn’t wake up until 10:30 this morning! It’s almost noon and I’m still in my pj’s, which is a shame because it’s a beautiful day outside!
Hope you guys have a nice Sunday 😀
Welcome back to KERFland Matt!! Glad you both celebrated with KERF oats 🙂 Enjoy the day!
A big welcome home to Matt! Your fabulous breakfast spread looks like the perfect thing to come home to. 🙂
You’re oatmeals all sound so yummy. With one exception…that bananas….I’m assuming that they are used to add flavor and substance….but I’m allergic to the things 🙁 Sad…cause I used to love them. Is there a way to substitute them with something else or is it cool to leave it out altogether??
Pumpkin or applesauce work well
Thanks….now I will have to snag some of your recipies and try them out.
I agree that coconut milk doesn’t make much of a difference in oats! If you really want a coconutty flavor though, I’ve made oats with 1/2 c water and 1/2 c coconut milk kefir. It’s sooo good.
Marshmallow? I’m in!
there’s nothing worse than stale/soft granola! (in my opinion)
Marshmallowy vanilla sounds incredibly good! Welcome back Matt!
Yay for Matt’s return!
I can’t think of a better way for Matt to return to you than with a lazy Sunday morning and a hearty bowl of KERF oats. Oh, maybe an afternoon brew to top it off? I think so 😉
Haha. Indeed!
That’s coming in a couple days!
Sounds like a lovely mornin’. Enjoy your day together. Welcome back, Matt!
Yay for Matt getting back 🙂
sorry – Yay for Matt getting back ok 🙂
Yah, Matt’s home! Hope he had a good rest of his training. 🙂
I can see why he requested the oats when he got home; they look delicious!
A big bowl of steamy oaty goodness? The perfect way to say Welcome Home!!
Matt was probably glad to come home to a delicious bowl of oats!
“Not sure what the day ahead holds, although I feel like we’ve just blown through the first half of it for sleeping so late and blogging taking up the better part of the pre-noon hours!”
After all you two have done the past few weeks, it’s okay to have a slow day! Put aside the to-do lists and daily agenda to enjoy a day of just being home and being together. You’ve both certainly earned it! I hope your day is filled with ‘Hey! Want to. . . ” and not “Hey, we need to…” 🙂
Thanks for the reminder 🙂
Agreed with Nancy 110%.. And welcome home Matt 🙂
Glad y’all are back under one roof! There’s nothing better than breakfast in your own kitchen after you’ve been away from home. Enjoy your afternoon!
I always ALWAYS want oatmeal when I see KERF oatmeal. Come to Boston and make me a batch? Thank you very much 🙂
Sleeping in until 9am sounds fantastic…I’d settle for sleeping in until 6am! Babies love early mornings! I need someone to make me such great looking oatmeal too 🙂
Glad Matt’s back safe! Have a nice relaxing day 😀
Yummy! I wish muesli was gluten free so I could try it but unforch I can’t find any that is! Happy Sunday, Kath!
do you still have the buddah bowl? I haven’t seen those lately and used to be obsessed with wanting one
Yeah! I used the Ramen bowl just this week (the green one).
That looks like an extra special pot of oatmeal! So happy for you that the hubby is back home : )
Enjoy the day with your man!
It is so nice to sleep in sometimes, but it does make the morning disappear.
Looks like a great morning!
What a wonderful way to welcome home Matt!
Well let’s see him!
Yayyyy I’m so glad to see that Matt got home all safe and sound!
Enjoy your lazy Sunday together 🙂
How fun to have Matt home now- I bet it’s different as your no longer the single- lady heading the house! Enjoy your day 🙂
I bet you are so glad to have Matt home! Have a nice Sunday!
Oh my, if that vanilla has a little taste of marshmallows, I have got to get some! Where did you find it?
It was a gift from the GH partners room!
What a fabulous bowl of oats! Glad you guys have the rest of the afternoon to just unwind and enjoy the day. Those are so very needed now and again. 😀
What a great lookin’ bowl o’ oats! I had something similar this morning with homemade blackberry jam (homemade by my cousin, not me – I wish I had half of her hiddent talents). Amazing! 🙂
All your pictures really make me want it to be breakfast again!!! Those oats look fantastic 😀
i love oatmeal for being so accepting of other flavors and foods. I actually love oatmeal for everything it is. We had it mixed with veggies the other night, and it was still delicious.
Yummy, that granola looks nice and crunchy! 🙂
I really tried sleeping in until 9 this morning but couldn’t…that’s what Sundays are for!
Oh I really want to try that Great Harvest spread. Yum!
Welcome home Matt!
It must be so nice to have Matt home safe. I was flying yesterday too. I saw the numbers 12 (mine) and 26 (yours) and thought of you! All of the baggage loading equipment had numbers on it!!
the new font on your header looks nice! we had a leisurely sunday morning too!
Enjoy a lazy Sunday with your hubby!
Glad that Matt is back at home! I would love to come home to a bowl of KERF oats!
vanilla that is a hint more marshmallow…oh i am in SEARCH!
i loooooove marshmallows and anything related to them 🙂
What a lovely start to the day!
Matt is a lucky man! I’d love to wake up to that for breakfast!
Oh, how sweet that he requested your oats!
Sundays are supposed to be lazy! Enjoy it. 🙂
I’ve had my eye on that vanilla for a while now! Love to hear that its so mallow-y!
Sundays are for being unproductive… or maybe that’s just me 🙂
