Froth just doesn’t work when I make French press for two people. Hmmm.
I think Lauri enjoyed her bowl too!
Transitions
Check out my final Breathe Blog post while I move into other directions: Transitions.

Sarah @ THE FOODIE DIARIES says

Kath says
I don’t care for white chocoalte!
sarah (shep) says
i loved that transitions post… i’m having to make some tough decisions right now and i’m starting to realize that i haven’t given the transition between two major chapters of my life ample time to settle and become comfortable. and my mom is in love with the dark chocolate dreams pb as well!
GurlOnA"Diet" says

Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I love Dark Chocolate Dreams! It’s like nutella to me! I can’t get enough of it!
Have a great day!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
how does dark chocolate dreams compare to cacao bliss? You turned me onto that one, so I may have to take your word on this, too! 😉
Kath says
OMG… I can’t choose. It’s a total tie for different reasons!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I need to try that stuff out! That bowl looks so good!!! Have a great day!
Paige says
Dark Chocolate Dreams is addictive! My pantry is never without it! The White Chocolate Wonderful is pretty amazing too!
Stacey says
I had Dark Chocolate Dreams in my oats too! 😀 Hope you have a good day
Suzanne says
I really enjoyed your Breathe post. Yoga is such a great metaphor for life. Thanks for that!
Haleigh says
dark chocolate dreams is divine but my favorite PB&Co nut butter is mighty maple… it has a subtle maple flavor and it’s not too sweet BUT it’s ridiculously hard to find so i switched to justin’s maple almond butter which i adore even more!! i think i could go on for hours about nut butter.. so i am just going to stop it at that 😉 hope you have a fantastic tuesday and i will check out the breathe post asap.. xoxo!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
The crumbled muffin looks sooo good on your pats! I don’t know about dark chocolate dreams with pumpkin though, sounds like too many flavors for me. Now with banana… YES! 🙂

Jenny says
Believe it or not, I’ve never tried dcd- I have to get on that!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
I wish I weren’t allergic to pb!! Those jars always make me weak in the knees! Oh and I left my French Press at home (during spring break!) Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
lol– I love it that you “mentally prepare” your oatmeal 🙂
Have a great day!
Simply Life says
Oh I love that bowl!
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Mmmm…you always have the most interesting oat toppers. Dark chocolate dreams sounds perfect.
Brooke says
This is referring to your posts yesterday, but I diet my dietetic internship in the midwest and they don’t know who Jean Inman is! On the east coast where I took my RD exam she saved my life! Love Jean Inman. 🙂
The Paris Food Blague says
wowza……as if chocolate weren’t good enough on its own….looks yummy

Trishelle says
Mmmmm!! Delicious! And how fun to have a girlfriend in town who will share your love of oatmeal with you 😀
Christie @ Honoring Health says
What an awesome bowl of oats!
I made chocolate and zucchini oat bran this morning. Can’t beat chocolate in the morning 🙂
Andrea says
Delicious oats! Looks like a lovely transition into another busy day for you! Hope it goes well! I loved your article!
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
I’m not allowed to have that PB in my house anymore… I tend to eat it with a spoon! Have a great day 🙂
rustique says
Anything PB&Co is magic, but my favorite is the Bee’s Knees. It’s unreal.
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Oohh- that PB and Co brand are the best – I really want to try that flavour! They only stock one of their flavours over here 🙁
Hope you have a good day 🙂
Monica (Musings of The Granola Girl) says
Ooooooh dark choco dreams sounds delightful 🙂
Makes my nut butters look quite bland this morning! 🙁
Dawn Hutchins says
I love that dark chocolate spread! I have been doing baked steel cut oats lately so I need to try some of that on top!
ellen eats beets says
I wish I had remembered to add the DCD to my on-the-go oats this morning. They would be that much more spectacular!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Pumpkin – apple – DCD, that’s an interesting mix!!!!
Cara says
Now you have me dreaming of dark chocolate pb. mmmmm.
La says
You know I’m always worried to have chocolate with my breakfast for fear that I’ll just crave (and eat) it all day but everyone’s been making these delicious chocolate oat creations lately and I really think I must try it soon.
Christine @ Grub, Sweat and Cheers says
I’ve never heard of Dark Chocolate Dreams until now. Oh my. Oh my oh my. How divine does that look?!
Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) says
I have that same flowered bowl 🙂 Winners?
Rose-Anne says
I found your Breathe post to be very insightful! I wish I were better at transitions. Change is so hard–I wish I were better at embracing it. It’s not that I don’t like adventure, but often the adventure becomes overwhelming. Even on a small scale, I have a hard time with the work/home transition each day. I wonder what it would take to make that transition more graceful…
sarah (the SHU box) says
LOVED your breathe post! perhaps my favorite piece of your writing yet 🙂
Allison K says
Yummy looking chocolate in your oats!
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
So that’s why I never get the froth! I always make a full carafe of French Press – definitely enough for two people. And there’s never any froth.
Have a great day today!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
french press for two definitely decreases the amount of room to create froth…but i bet the coffee still tastes amazing! i love chocolate in oatmeal…probably one of my favorite combos!
Teri [a foodie stays fit] says
I LOVE that red & white bowl!!
[email protected] lady says
Dark Chocolate Dreams is soooo good!! Especially eaten off of a spoon mmmm!!!
Nutritious Foodie says
I have had oatmeal on my mind ALL day too.. but since I eat light to heavy (digestion) I am having oatmeal for lunch… I can’t wait 🙂
Fallon says
If you like the dark chocolate dreams PB, you should try their other flavors! http://ilovepeanutbutter.com/
The cinnamon raisin swirl is another good flavor.
Joanne says
Great oat mix. I liked the article. Good job.
Ashley says
The whole froth/no froth thing is so weird. Certain coffees yes, some no and double coffee, no? How weird is that!! Off to read your article!! =)
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
That peanut butter was dangerous in my house. I used it for desert with a banana and a spoon. I had to make it a special occasion thing or I would eat the entire jar with a spoon.
Lauren @ Eater not a runner says
Dark Chocolate Dreams is the best!
Funky Lady says
I LOVE The Peanut Butter Company!! I always have 3 or 4 kinds of peanut butter in my kitchen to choose from!
Your Breathe article was awesome. I think difficult situations help us better appreciate things we might normally take for granted.
Leo @ Cupcakes In Paris says
Wow your Oatmeal looks incredible………….
We don’t have such cool PB here in France. But I once mixed some hazelnut butter with dark chocolate, a little bit of milk and agave syrup, heated the whole thing up in the microwave and obtained some Nutella tasting creamy deliciousness! It was delish on my oats… Should make that again!
Hannah says
Pumpkin cinnamon carrot raisin vanilla chocolate?? Yeah, that’s kindof amazing. Definitely going to head to your Breathe post now – when I finish travelling I’m looking at a big period of transitions, so I think you’re going to help me!!
Kathleen says
Just wanted to let you know I finally got my Naturally Nutty – Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Butter and they doubled the jar size! Thanks for telling me about it!
Kath says
Oh sweet!!!
