Bears, we’re not in Florida anymore.
It might look like it’s 80 degrees – and it does smell like spring. But it’s still close to freezing here!
I picked up a taste of the tropics at Whole Foods last night – local parrot tulips
I missed oats! Particularly cottage cheese oats.
Made with a few strawberries as well to remind me of Florida
The Mix
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Half banana
- Pinch salt
- 3 strawberries, stirred in at end
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Hemp Plus Granola
- Sunflower butter
- GH Jam
I forgot how good my coffee is!
Time to play catch up!

I love getting fresh flowers! I would do it every Sunday if I could afford it 🙂
Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
It is freezing cold here, too. It was a shock this morning to go outside!! I can tell spring is almost here, though!!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I have yet to work up the courage to try cottage cheese… maybe I can get a sample at TJs! Something about it scares me. Odd, I know… it looks delicious though! 🙂
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
The tulips are beautiful!
I love to travel, but it’s so nice to get back home when all is said and done. Welcome home. 🙂

Looks like the trip was great and glad you made it home safely!
Ann @ Day by Day says
The morning after a trip is always great. You wake up in your own bed and make exactly what you want for breakfast and relax with your coffee! As always, I love your polka dot bowl. I made strawberry oats today too, but I just sliced them on top. Yours look better stirred in! I’ll try that next time.

At least you guys have some sunshine! After living in Oregon for 7 months, I think I forget what sun looks like. On the rare occasion when it comes out, my eyes burn.
