The husband gave me my v-day card late last night (he was holding out for suspense!) He hand-painted the bears, who have been animated since 2002. It was probably the most romantic card he’s ever written too 😳
OK, enough cheese!!
I stumbled down the stairs this morning and little headachy and definitely not very chipper, so he made the breakfast. And used the same bowl as yesterday to fill up with oats! Gasp!
I topped mine with a brownie heart from Diana’s cupcakes 🙂
MY OTHER RECIPES
Which I promptly crumbled over everything
Today’s Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water, 1/2 large banana, pinch salt
- 1 tbsp wheatberries
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- ~1/3 cup chopped strawberries (I figured out the key to berries in oats!! I think they are too watery to be cooked in, but I heated these separately in the microwave for 20 seconds and then mushed them in as a topping – perfect way to enjoy strawberries and maintain the thick creamy oat style!)
- Chocolate brownie heart
- Coconut butter
- Spoonful Barney Butter
+ hot tea
OK. Today is 100% Biochem. Except that we are having company for lunch. The husband’s aunt and uncle are in town and are coming over to see our house. We’re serving this potato soup plus the husband is making bread.
So my agenda:
- Now: Shower
- 10:30-11:30: Prep study materials
- 11:30-12p: Spot clean house
- 12-3p: Lunch + hospitality
- 3p: Blog
- 3-6p: Study at Panera with Victoria
- 6-7p: Workout at YMCA Express next to Panera
- 7p: Party leftovers for dinner
- 8-9p: Last minute studying
- 9p: Get in bed

Those bears are just to DIE for!!!! Beyond adorable!!!!!
Oh my gosh, those are beautiful!
wow! the husband is so artistic! I mean I knew from some of the other cards you have featured but WOW. He should make customized ones as a side hobby/job. I bet he’d get a lot of customers!
Great Bowl Kath! Very good painting Husband :)!
I love the bowl. It is so festive. Good Luck studying. That is on my to-do list today as well.
Have a good one
i love that bowl!
What a sweet hubbie.. Have a great day!
That card is simply adorable! What an artist!
Mmm, those oats are perfect. I usually heat up my berries in the micro before adding them to my oatmeal as well. I just think the texture is better.
Have a wonderful day Kath!
That bowl is so cute! What a fun, cute breakfast! Thanks for all that you do! You inspire me each and every day! You’re very lucky to have a husband that supports your healthy eating also!
Happy V-day!
Wow – he painted those?! I can barely paint a straight line – well done!!
Good luck studying today!!
those definitely aren’t the same oats that grandma used to make
What a beautiful bowl of oats. I really wish they had Barney Butter around here…it looks Sooooo smooth!!!
Have a fun lunch!

Have fun studying! I was just wondering what the coconut butter tastes like and what positive health benefits it has. I know that people used to avoid coconut fat because it’s saturated, but now I see it everywhere so the tide must be changing. Thanks! 🙂
Wow, Matt is so TALENTED! I love the bears!
Swoon….
Paper towels make a tough canvas, so that is very impressive!
I love your plates!
Where did you get that bowl?
What a pretty dish! This Barney butter looks amazing.
awww man, too cute! good luck studying 🙂
I like berries cooked right in the oats – never seems to affect the outcome for me, but maybe I’m less concerned about texture each time. I think I like them better than bananas (probably because I just like berries better).
Cute card!
Too sweet! 🙂

The popularity of coconut is likely just based on its fabulous flavor. While it does have a higher saturated fat content, many of us healthy eaters have a diet relatively low in sat fat, so a little in the form of coconut butter (1 tsp) isn’t going to make any difference. It tastes like of like a waxy coconut icing.
