Dog Days

The Dog Days of Summer are upon us. What day of the week is it?!

IMG_0972 (640x427)

IMG_0973 (640x427) (2)

IMG_0970 (640x427)

We slept late this morning and filled our bowls with oatmeal.

IMG_0965 (640x427) (2)

Bananaless oatmeal ๐Ÿ™ Everytime I make oats without a banana, I am shocked by the texture difference. Even with tons of chia seeds!

The oat mix for one included:

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 a plum, stirred in near end
  • Peanut butter pretzel crumbles ( <– have been dreaming about this for 2 weeks now)
  • Coconut butter blob
  • Bella Eats jam blob
  • Sunflower butter blob

IMG_0963 (640x427) (2)

Brew Ridge Music Festival hot coffee – mm!

Happy Sunday?

    I feel the same way about my oatmeal – just not the same without banana. You’ve gotta stock up ๐Ÿ˜€ Hopefully the peanut butter pretzels made up for it? ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I just flush it well with water after use. If it’s really dirty I would use dishsoap in the same fashion.

    That’s funny that you say about it not having a banana. I have never even tried a banana in my oats and I eat it almost everyday. Does it make it creamier or what?

    I always go through banana-withdrawal if I don’t have at least one banana a day. But, it makes the next banana I eat even more satisfying!

    Hate it when I’m out of bananas! I usually try to slice some up and store them in the freezer for smoothies and such but hate it when those run out as well:) Have a fabulous day!

    Do you mind sharing what camera you used last night at the festival? I know that the camera is only part of the equation with the other being your photography skills. Those pictures are unreal!!
