Polly Put The Kettle On

Because this is one.cold.house!!

IMG_9887Blog

Woke up this morning to see snow? sleet? on my car!! Nothing in the grass and it’s clearly raining, but my goodness this is odd for October!

And of course I just had to plan on freezing cold overnight oats last night!?

IMG_9893Blog

I put the jar in the microwave for 1 minute at power level 5 to take off the chill but not cook the yogurt and that seemed to work great.

IMG_9892Blog

The Mix

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • Half banana
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup frozen fruit, added last night
  • This AM: Cville Cluster and some Sunbutter Crunch

Might have been cold, but it sure was good!

IMG_9891Blog

Another tea sample I just ordered from Adagio is Roasted Marshmallow. Obviously I had REALLY high hopes! It was good, but tasted more like a smoked vanilla …which I guess is toasted marshmallow!? Wish there had been more char, less smoke and more of that mallow taste. Still, I really liked it. Every tea of theirs has been outstanding. The flavors are so REAL.

Took me forever to get out of bed this morning due to the heat-less house. The heat is now ON and I’m debating what to do today. The rain isn’t making leaving the house very appealing, but I do have some things to do!

    It’s FREEZING where we are too (we’re actually expecting snow!) but those overnight oats still looks incredible to me. I always want to try taking the chill out of mine but worry it will cook the yogurt – good to know 1 minute is the magic number for doing so 🙂

    Hope you have a cozy morning!!

    Our house has been cold this week (62 one morning, up to 66 today) but we have this thing, where we try to wait until Nov. 1 to turn on the heat. I think we might make it, even though we’ve had freezing temps already here in Portland, OR recently. But I do agree, a cold morning makes it hard to eat a cold breakfast. Have a great day!

    So glad you found a good tea company. I’ve bought so many kinds that sound delicious but fall a bit short.

    We had a bunch of frost on the cars here this morning. I heard NY got actual snow. It can stay away from here as far as I’m concerned. I’m not ready yet!!

    I hear you with it being freezing outside! It’s currently snowing outside here in PA! They are huge flakes too! It’s way too early for this. I’m loving the tea talk. I’m not a huge tea drinker. I usually drink green tea everyday but I’d like to branch off into flavored teas. They sound great 🙂

    Am trying to learn about combining proteins, and I note that you usually combine grain (oatmeal) and seeds (chia). Apparently the peanut butter also adds a lot of nutritional value, so I understand (I think) how you get a high protein breakfast.

    Am looking for help with a high protein lunch that includes no animal fats.

    Question: Apparently beans and corn combined also make a complete protein. Since most packaged tortillas have some chemicals in them, what do you think about 1/2 cup of beans (usually Trader Joe’s organic black beans) eaten with one serving of Trader Joe’s Organic Longboat Corn Chips? (Recently read an article that said 1/2 c. of beans a day will add lots of fiber and protein, and no or very low fat, so am trying to incorporate that into my diet at least 3 days a week.)

    Thanks. (Love the photos. Stunning street scenes.)

      Hey Maria,
      I think the beans with corn chips sounds ok – I don’t know those chips to know what their nutrition facts are, but you might also consider making some cornbread muffins to have too?

      Reply
      • Maria says

        October 30, 2011 at 1:57 pm

        Cornmeal muffins (usually) have flour, milk and eggs, all of which I am trying to avoid for lunch.

        The TJoe’s chips are 7 g fat but only 0.5g is saturated fat, also 2 g fiber, 2 g protein. Ingredients: organic stoneground white corn, oranic canola oil and/or organic soybean oil and/or organic sunflower oil plus salt. So, mainly corn and oil.

        Because the chips are mainly corn with no animal products, I thought they would fit my goal better. An additional goal is less total volume of food, so why would I add flour, egg and milk? Perhaps there is something that I’m missing.

        Thanks, Maria
