Jasmine, Rosemary & Me

Leg is better today!!

My plan of attack: Rest, Ice, Compression, EAT is going well

:mrgreen: this !

I’m thinking I might have to give my hour back and do some upper body stuff tonight – just to keep the blood flowing. Nothing leg related though!

I spent some time chatting with my girlfriends Jasmine and Rosemary this AM.

IMG_0894 (640x427)

Oregano says hello too (he’s a boy)

IMG_0901 (640x427)

So does the manatee I found in my coffee!!

IMG_0899 (640x427)

IMG_0896 (640x427)

Oatttttttttttalicious!

IMG_0889 (640x427)

Friends of Bob 

IMG_0887 (640x427)

The Mix

  • 1/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill Muesli (I have decided that I don’t like this for oatmeal. Only overnight oats. The oats are really thick and always gelatinize on me!? They don’t get creamy. Not sure why!)
  • 1/8 cup 10 Grain Hot Cereal 
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Splash vanilla, pinch salt
  • Galaxy Granola
  • Maranatha Dark Chocolate Almond (M stands for MELT. Maranatha’s nut butters are hands-down the best for melting. And I love a puddle on the top of my oats! The guy melted just like their almond butter does and I was in chocolate heaven)
  • Naturally Nutty Vanilla Almond Butter (also one of the top 5 nut butters there are – I’m going to do a list soon of the best of the best)

IMG_0890 (640x427)

IMG_0888 (640x427)

Off to that place for 8 hours. Then life can resume!

    Our rosemary plants have taken off like “Little Shop of Horrors”! I don’t mind though, ’cause I freakin’ love rosemary! Glad your leg is doing better! I did some upper body stuff this morning since my hamstrings are so sore from dead lifts two days ago. Those suckers get me every time. So, my upper body is now feeling it, but it feels so good…I’m kinda sick that way. Have a great day!

    hey Kath
    have you ever tried soaking the oats in fruit juice?
    I love bill granger s variation on this! the fruit juice does it, plus the grated pears;
    2 persons:
    * 1 cup rolled oats
    * 3/4 cups pear juice
    * 1 pear, grated
    * 1/4 cup plain yoghurt
    * strawberries or blueberries
    * flaked almonds

    1. Place oats and pear juice in a bowl and soak overnight. Add grated pear and yoghurt to oat mixture and mix well.

    2. Spoon into serving bowls and top with strawberries. Sprinkle with almonds. you can add more yoghurt as topping if you like!

    It’s sad that I might have lived the rest of my life not eating MaraNatha dark chocolate almond butter. But I saw it at the hippie health food store yesterday and, remembering how much you liked it, picked up a jar. Of course I had to have a taste as soon as I got home. O.M.G. HEAVEN!!! I had some in my oats this morning — it was fabulous!
