Pajama Flowers

Great morning to you!

With the exception of the fact that our house still smells like chili powder, it’s a great one here! No cooking and no dishes to do with breakfast thanks to a jar of overnight oats!

IMG_8358Blog

Normally when I make anything in a jar, it’s a nut butter jar on its last leg…er nut. Yesterday when I made the Honey Crunch PB, I filled up a little jar to the brim and had about 3 tbsp left. I put two of them into this big empty jar to use for overnight oats and the other into my mouth! [Licking the food processor after making nut butter is second only to licking a bowl that held buttercream frosting!]

See that buttah down there?

IMG_8359Blog

I missed the globs on the walls of the jar, but getting to the bottom was still such a fun wait.

IMG_8361Blog

The filling was a mix of:

  • 1/3 cup raw oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • Handful p-nuts
  • Sprinkle cinnamon
  • Pinch salt

^ All stirred together and in fridge overnight.

This AM I added a little puffed brown rice and a small crumbled FANNEtastic Oat Puff Ball.

Coconut Chai

Our garden is just bursting with flowers!

      You can – Angela @ Oh She Glows does a vegan version with lots of chia seeds and almond milk. But I think yogurt is key for the texture I love.

    Those overnight oats look really good.

    Sadly, I’m trying to limit my dairy intake since my allergies are quite bad right now [and I find too much dairy makes me too congested], but I have an almost-empty jar of cashew butter in the fridge that could use some. I suppose I could fill the jar with oats instead…

    It’s like “fruit on the bottom” yogurt, only “PB on the bottom” oats! I don’t delay gratification too well, so I suppose I’d keep my nut butter on top 🙂
    As far as licking the food processor, I’ve also oh so carefully licked the BLADE of the dang thing, only to realize I was being “nutty” and that no sunbutter, however sugared and delicious, is worth a cut tongue…

    Kath —
    I have been a loyal reader for about a year now and have never commented, but I feel today is a good day to start. I just want to express my disgust at your lack of acknowledgement of last night’s major news headline. Today is a day I have no interest in a blogger’s oats in a jar or miles ran on the treadmill. Today, I was hoping to read reflections on the state of our country and an acknowledgement of all the lives lost 10 years ago. I am deeply upset that none of my favorite bloggers seem to think the death of Osama Bin Laden, a man directly responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent people, is not significant enough to even briefly reflect upon.

      I was going to express a similar opinion re: blogs on Twitter. Today–or at the very least, this morning–represents a time to take a pause from endless internal focuses (e.g., breakfast consistency, local weather forecast) and reflect on the the grander external picture. Food and health blogs may not be inherently ‘political’ in nature but this was a bipartisan event and, as residents of the universe, silence simply appears self-absorbed, even if it is unintended.

        A lot of blogs are personal or focus on more positive events. If you want to read/hear more about life’s current events, simply turn on the radio, CNN, Today show, GMA, Nightly News, or grab any newspaper or check online from the News sources.

          I would not have come here expecting Kath to comment on the death of Osama Bin Laden. Actually, I would have been pretty shocked if she did. Likewise, it isn’t everyone else’s responsibility to react to or comment on anything just because you are having feelings about it. Personally, I’m disturbed by a lot- probably most- of the reactions I *am* seeing, but I would do what Baking Books suggested if I actually wanted to read about it.
