Enjoy big luscious bites of bread cubes throughout! Remember when I did this with Apple Crunch a while back? I haven’t stopped thinking about it! But we haven’t any good fruity Great Harvest bread in stock for a while. So glad I remembered this time!

Have you heard of Ebates.com? It’s a site that pays you CASH BACK just for making your usual shopping purchases online. It works because they get paid by the company for referring you and share some of it. Tina introduced me a while ago, and I have to say I’ve been shopping online a little more than usual – they have really good coupon deals too! I was all out of Bare Minerals and paid a visit to Sephora.com (4% cash back) and also bought another of my new favorite sports bra from Fresh Pair (Moving Comfort Fiona). Two necessities – with a bonus! And I think you even get $5 just for signing up. I’m excited to see if this really adds up over time!

We’ve got a beautiful sunny day here before a string of rain in the forecast, so Matt and I are going for a nice run later on. First – computer work!

    So cool. I’ve never heard of Ebates, but I do shop online a lot. I’m going to go check it out now. Thanks for the tip! And by the way, Bare Minerals is pretty much all I use. I love it.

    Wow, talk about party in a bowl! Amazing idea.

    I’m sure you’ve answered this before, but I was wondering if you ever get a “sugar crash” from your oat/banana/granola breakfasts? I always admire your breakfasts, but am hesitant to try them because I’m usually intimidated by big meals.

    On a another note, I am a first year Dietetics students and it is SO inspiring to read your blog. It is exciting to see how you are using your RD credentials in such creative and unique ways. (can I do my intern with you guys @ Great Harvest? haha) I can’t wait till Organic Chem. is over and I can start dealing with real food! 🙂

      I’ve never experienced any kind of sugar crash with oatmeal – but I have when I eat too many sweets! I think because my breakfasts include good amounts of fiber, protein and fat that the glycemic is pretty slow and steady.

      Good luck with chem!

    I’ve been meaning to try ebates. Of course, it’s always right after I place an order at Sephora that I remember about it!

    That breakfast is such a good idea! I don’t usually buy the fruity bread..but I may buy some try try this out!

    I don’t use ebates but I do use mrrebates. There are several similar companies out there. I have made probably $50 to $70 so far, since my son has ordered a few pair of expensive shoes on the internet; that helps it add up. Some other examples – you can also buy plane tickets through Priceline and buy things on ebay and get your account credited. Then they send you a check! Cool!

    Pretty sure that’s the best thing I’ve ever seen… in my ENTIRE life. I love bread pudding. So are we going to be able to order bread from GH C-ville?? 🙂

    Have fun on your run! We are expecting the same kind of weather here 🙂

    Right now I use Clinique, but I’m almost out and thinking of switching to Bare Minerals. My friend uses it and LOVES it. Would it be wise to go into the store to buy it the first time, so that they can figure out my skin tone? Or does it work that way?

    Kath, you and Matt are such a wonderful face for Great Harvest. I was having dinner with my sister last night and she is a huge GH fan. I was telling her about your blog and about the process you guys have gone through to open the store. Then I was saying how I read on your GHCville website that you mill the flour fresh every morning and my sister had this massive “no wonder it tastes so good!” moment.

    Kath,
    So addicted to GH bread now in Newtonville, MA. I live in fear of it closing, so I’m on a mission to patron it bi-weekly. I asked on Sunday if they’d heard of the blogger in VA giving GH such good press. Do you think the bread oatmeal would work with cinnamon chip?

  27. Lauren @ Healthy Food For Living says

    Yes! I’ve done this with both hot oats and overnight oats, and the added chew from the bread is fantastic. I think I actually love it even more when I stir muffin or quick bread crumbles into yogurt and let it sit overnight. Doughy deliciousness!

    Sounds delicious! I hit our Great Harvest on Sunday (there was a coupon in the paper for a free loaf of Cinnamon Swirl with the purchase of another loaf!). The Irish Soda bread was delicious…I cut up the crown shape it was in and froze most of eat. I can’t keep it out or I eat too much! I may have to pull a slice out of the freezer and try this!

    Never tried ebates but I am now hooked on groupons.com and livingsocial.com…..so much easier to justify things when they are half off!!!

    Oatmeal BREADpudding!!??? Two of my favorites in one. I can’t even imagine how delicious this is. I’ve been testing other breads with my stomach issues and even the sprouted grain breads are giving me problems. Boo 🙁

    I heard about Ebates from Tina too and I’ve signed up, but haven’t had a chance to really look into how it works yet. (Just seemed like a good idea at the time, and i figured it was one of those things I’d get back to!) Thanks for the reminder. And LOVELY looking oats this morning. I love bread pudding!

    That looks so yummy! I have been low carbing for awhile and I really miss my oatmeal. That is going to be one thing I add back in eventually 🙂

    This recipe looks so delicious and is making me hungry so soon after I have eaten breakfast. I have never been a huge fan of oatmeal because I prefer crunchier textures to smoother, mushier textures. However, I have come across some great variations on oatmeal recipes lately that solve this problem. I love the idea of bread cubes and granola and nuts to add both texture and substance to oatmeal. I recently saw a banana bread oatmeal recipe which also looked enticing. My favorite thing to do is add peanut butter and cinnamon to oatmeal – the combination is amazing! Now I will add some of these crunchier things to make the perfect cruncy and filling oatmeal.

    Kath—

    Awesome bowl today! I love the texture of bread + oats! Soooo sticky! 🙂

    I have a question about RD programs. Did you get a MS + RD certification, or just an RD cert? I am looking into different Universities, and some seem to offer dual programs.

    🙂

      I was in a MS + RD program (you couldn’t do just the RD) but I did not finish the MS because it would have required us to stay in charlotte another year and there is no comp. program here

    Ebates is legitimate! It works best if you’re making a major purchase because then your “ebate” is larger, but I used it for my online Christmas shopping and all the small purchases added up. They also do a “daily double” each day, where they double the amount of the ebate for a particular store that day. They doubled Crate and Barrel this past weekend (from 3 to 6 percent) . And it happened to be the day we planning to buy a sofa there! Instead, I ordered it online (I’d only gone in the store and visited this sofa about ten times in the past few weeks!) The ebate will be about 80 dollars. Not bad, considering we were going to buy it that day anyway!

    I really wanted to buy some of that Nutty Buddy Peanut Butter since it looked VERY reasonably priced until I added the shipping cost! 10 DOLLARS FOR AN 8OZ JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER?! Is it really worth it?

    Ebates is new to me – is it in Canada, too, i wonder?
    yes – get your work done first, and the reward will be a fun run!
    i work at a running store and moving comfort is a fabulous line for quality running bras – the fiona is one of the more popular models, i’ve noticed.
    i really like your pink mug!

    I’ve used GH cinnamon chip before for bread pudding, and it was awesome. Bread pudding oats sounds incredible. What a cool brunch idea too–guests would really be wowwed.

    Not complaining, but in interest of fairness you should probably mention that your link to Ebates is also giving you referral bonuses for every signup…

    Can you run in this sports bra without wearing two bras?? I have such a hard time finding a sports bra that keeps me in place while running. I’ve tried the TaTa Tamer and even it isn’t great support. Thanks!

          I have the Juno, love it! It has a racer back which suits most of my jogging/gym clothes. First jogging bra where I don’t have to wear 2, and it’s not ugly!

            I like the Phoebe. Something about the Fiona just kills my back on long runs. I think it hits me in the wrong spot. Also annoying is the ribbed torso band. It eats at the skin under my solar plexus. I used to love those bras, but I can’t do more than 4 miles in them now.

    I absolutely love e-bates. I used it to purchase airfare recently – definitely makes the small percentage back that much better! Oh, and great-looking oats, too! =)

    You MUST try this again with your bread TOASTED! My Mom always served us buttered toast with our oatmeal, and we usually broke up the whole slice, or just the crusts, and mixed them into our oatmeal. Experiment with it a bit – you can cut out fat somewhere else to include the butter on the toast, and perhaps up your liquids a bit to account for what the toast will absorb.

    I serve oatmeal almost every day to my toddlers at home, and we put frozen wild blueberries in at the end to help cool down the oats. The blueberries are like tiny little ice cubes and they add sweetness and a fun color. It helps get the oats on the table and into their hungry mouths faster!

    Kath – Your oatmeal pictures make me hungry! They are always so yummy looking:)

    Also, another great site to use (for when you start having children) is called upromise.com. Basically you sign up and get money back through purchase you make. For example,when you go to the grocery store you might get 10 cents back for purchasing sugar. Well, over time that adds up and all of the money goes tax free to your childs 529 account for college. It’s pretty cool.

      Cool! I think there is so much free money I’m missing out on. RhodeyGirl did a post once about her American Express card. I don’t use any kind of rewards credit card, but i guess I should!

        You should look into credit card points, we got a free tent (a great one too) and an IPod shuffle as well as about $600 off flights over the course of two years. Which is odd because we really don’t spend that much…oh geez perhaps it is time to start looking at that website you suggested to save $$$…
        Seriously though if you have a business credit card look into it. We are with HSBC.

        You should definitely look into getting a rewards card for business purchases.

        I have a travel card (I’ve gotten free flights & car rentals) and an REI card (got a nice big dividend to spend on some camping gear),

        I would suggest Discover. You get 1% cash back on all purchases and 5% on special promotions each month (ex: gas, travel, groceries, entertainment).

    I love, love, love my Moving Comfort Fiona bra! It’s the first sports bra I’ve ever found that actually holds the twins in place! It’s the best!
    Have to second the love for Bare Minerals too! I think we have a lot of things we love in common! I’m going to start paying closer attention to your recommendations. 🙂

    I swear I told you about Ebates FORever ago 😉 I’ve been using it for a couple years now! The cash back goes directly into our PayPal acct (We use to get checks, but that seemed silly!) Its so easy to use, just one extra click! Those oats look so YUMMY!

    Oh, Do you use Groupon.com and LivingSocial.com? Two other great websites that offer AMAZING daily deals! Half off to restaurants, hotels, local attractions, etc. I’ve even bought half off coupons for froyo, Hand Picked, and Nutty Boys!

    Thanks for the referral on eBates! I had heard of it before, but never checked into it — assumed it was a scam… Glad to see (above) that you’re getting the referral bonuses! 🙂
