Long Time, No Chew

IMG_6948Blog

Stove-top oooooooats!!!

It’s been forever since I’ve made them. In fact, I think since January 19th! I now remember why I made this breakfast 75% of mornings for 5 years – sooo delicious!

IMG_6949Blog

Whipped banana oats made with:

  • 1/3 cup Holly’s Oatmeal
  • 1/2 banana
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end
  • 1/3 cup blueberries, stirred in at end
  • PB&J on top

SO much volume!

IMG_6940Blog

And can you remember the last time I had frothed milk? I believe it was December 12 – just 3 days after conception : )

IMG_6945Blog

French press decaf with frothed milk made with my IKEA frother

IMG_6946Blog

One awesome & filling breakfast

Beware: lurking Pumpkin!

Mrs. Pumpkin Lumpkin came up to say hello!

    Lol, I haven’t had oats in FOREVER – even longer than you! I just can’t give up my morning green smoothie habit, even though it’s snowing outside and I’m currently freezing while slurping it back! Yours look lovely though. have fun with your furry visitor! 😉

    LEMONS!! I read somewhere that the smell of lemons can help when you are feeling morning sickness. If you are not feeling an aversion to them, maybe try cutting up one and putting it in a ziplock and giving it a whiff. And maybe squeezing lemon in water to drink first thing.

    Yay, glad to see oats back! That sounds like an excellent combination of ingredients. Of course I prefer bright, sunny days, but there’s something kind of cozy about taking the time to make a nice cup of coffee while it’s rainy outside.

    I definitely had an on-again, off-again relationship with my normal big, hot bowl of oatmeal when I was pregnant last year. Even when I was past the “morning” sickness, and most of my other eating returned to normal, it just didn’t sound good some mornings.

    Nice to have other good breakfast options for those times, and my normal oatmeal appetite returned after pregnancy 🙂

    Wouldn’t it be nice if Mrs Pumpkin Lumpkin could be pregnant along with you?
    You’d be having A baby, she’d be having octuplets….you’d take your PNV, she’d eat a mouse…you’d buy a stroller, she’d practice seeing how many kittens should could carry in her mouth at once.

    kath i really have to thank you for a couple of things! first of all, THANK YOU for selling cville cluster on open sky, because i had my first taste this morning and you weren’t kidding. its pretty freakin fabulous. and second…for inspiration for making my breakfast! this morning it consisted of almost all kerf goodies….365 wheat waffles, cville cluster, and wild squirrel peanut butter (an an apple because it was all i had for fruit!). i never was this creative for breakfast before and my mornings are so much better because my bowl is actually INTERESTING and DELICIOUS! and you’ve taught me it CAN be like this as well as be healthy and filled with whole, real foods. 🙂

    This may seem like an odd question – but how exactly do you froth your milk with your frother? I bought one recently and can’t seem to get the volume I’d like!

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      March 3, 2012 at 3:45 pm

      I pour the milk in a mug and heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds, then just stick the frother in there and turn it on and move it in all directions for about 30 seconds, then pour coffee/tea on top!

      No they are – perhaps even chewier? Stove-top are creamier because of the milk and whipping motion
