Don The Slippers!

IMG_1905

When I checked my phone upon waking this morning the weather said "FOG." Sure enough, upon looking out the window, there were no mountains to be seen. Just hazy sunlight.

I donned my slippers, bounded down the stairs…

IMG_1908

It’s the week of Thanksgiving! Let the thanks begin.

IMG_1901

IMG_1923

I am thankful for oatmeal

:mrgreen: this !

IMG_1911

And wheatberries, which I was happy to remember were already cooked in my fridge and ready to be added to oats!

IMG_1914

Super creamy oat bran + oat mixture!!

  • 1/4 cup oat bran
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 tbsp flax
  • 2 tbsp cooked wheatberries
  • Pinch salt, splash vanilla
  • Ancient Grains granola (really loving it!!)
  • Crofters, heated in the microwave in a pinch bowl so it would be hot
  • TJ’s PB

IMG_1917

Whole Foods Blend gets a thumbs up Thumbs up

Time to flush the enzymes and see how it flows!

    I love wearing my pjs and slippers and making breakfast – it would feel like such a weekend!

    Beautiful picture of the fog. I hope your drain is working better – there is nothing worse than a slow shower drain.

    Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year?

    I LOVE that Ancient Grains cereal!! Your creation looks phenomenal, I think I might try it with some buckwheat groats. Your recipes always look so delish but I’m trying to amend them for a grain-free, or at least LESS grain, diet at the moment. Not the easiest but totally do-able it’s fun to experiment!!

        Yeah, you kinda have to plan ahead a bit, but they keep in the fridge for quite a while. I’m a huge fan of sprouted wheatberries.

    Long-time reader to the blog, first-time commenter.

    I felt compelled to let you know you may want to ask your landlord to seal the bathtub. I have the same problem with my bathtub and black mold ended up seeping through and making me (and my kids) rather sick!

    In the meantime, you could spray some bleach (or a more green-friendly product) on the areas to at least slow down the mold growth.

    And now… I’ll head back to ogling your coffee!

    I wish my morning had started as relaxed as yours!! I love wheat berries as well and have been cooking up batches (as well as spelt berries) lately for use on salads during the week. It’s kinda like the Whole Foods grain bar… but not quite as tasty. 😉

    Do you always plan out your meals ahead of time? I wish I could stick to a meal plan like that. But for me, too much planning leads to a very confused chef in the kitchen.

    Hey Kath! I thought you’d be the best person to ask this – I’ve been debating on whether to buy chia or flax seeds? Do you have a preference and do they each have their own nutritional benefits or are they about the same? I’ve tried researching it but it gets a bit confusing! And I’m mostly looking for one to add more fiber into my diet and to help with “getting things movin” so from what I’ve read I think chia is the way to go….but wanted your opinion too! 🙂

    Reply
    • Kath says

      November 22, 2010 at 3:54 pm

      I like chia more because they don’t have to be ground and I think their effects are better in cooking (i.e. oats) Why not get both!?

      Reply
      • Shayla says

        True I think I will get both – why not right?! Thanks Kath for your input 🙂

        haha, I was just giving you a hard time because your house is always SO clean. Wish I had some advice, there were a couple spots we couldn’t ever get totally clean in our old house (and I was using abrasive stuff) so we just ended up re-grouting the tile.

            We too live in an old house with a tiled tub and it is a source of irritation to me. We hired someone to regrout it in places and paint over the grout in other areas. It was expensive and two years later it is starting to look crummy again. Let’s just call it character, okay?? 🙂

    Have you ever added oat groats to your oatmeal? I love cooking steel cut with oat groats for my pumpkin oats. You’d love the texture! I love wheat berries but must do gluten free.

      I’ve blended them into Scottish oats, and also made regular steel cut oats
