We woke up at 7 this morning for a little exercise. I set out on foot to find the Towson YMCA, where I have free access from my Charlotte membership, but I got the address wrong and ended up just going a 30 minute power walk around Towson. ‘Twas fun! It’s like fall out there – crisp and cool.
Once back at my grandparents’ building, I poked into the workout room and joined a few people for a little elliptical time.
I whirred for 26 minutes and then headed upstairs for a shower.
We were greeted by the smell of freshly baked sticky buns upon entering Gram’s apartment
I couldn’t say no so I had one over my oatmeal
This was yesterday’s extra oatmeal topped with blueberries, smoked salted almonds and Barney Butter
Plus a little instant coffee, which really isn’t bad at all! It was better than Starbucks for sure.
I shared a little of my oats with my mother.

Unless they have opened up a new Y in Towson in the last 1 1/2 years, you aren’t really close to it . . . as in, you would get a workout just walking/running to it and back.
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Mmm, what a good looking bowl of oats! Perfect for today’s sunny and cool weather – it feels like late September here in NYC!
Alison says
Love it when work out plans get a little messed up but it all works out in the end.

Anything that is freshly baked and involves cinnamon, you just can’t turn down! That looks so delicious 🙂

AnnQ says
I love that idea….sticky bun oatmeal. 😀
HeatherBakes says
At first I thought you topped your oats with smoked salt, but then I re-read and saw that the salt was on the ALMONDS. Duh. I have a big container of smoked salt that I have no idea what to do with…
Jealous of your fall-ish weather!
Dawn says
Oh wow! Those sticky buns look way too delicious to pass up! Yum!

I read the feature of you at In Her Shoes and totally loved it!! You have a RIDICULOUSLY clean AND …healthY? fridge!!! Thanks for giving us readers something to shoot for!! Mine is just….too embarassing compared to yours!!
Jenn (Eating Bender) says
I haven’t had a sticky bun in ages – an oatmeal topping is so classic, Kath 🙂
Just read the fridge post on Bobbi’s blog – love it! The fruit plate idea is a great one – much better than digging through a bowl to get to what you really want at the bottom.
Have a great weekend!
Jen Papaya says
OoOooh those sticky buns look glorious!
Rose-Anne says
Smoked salted almonds on oatmeal?!? I now feel strangely compelled to try this exotic-sounding combination…what did you think of the taste?
Lady, you’ve been keeping me company while I finish up my PhD thesis this week–such a nice break from endless rounds of rewriting and editing. Thank you.
Beth @ CrossBorderCravings says
Those sticky buns look so yummy! I bet your tempted to stay longer!

Emily, homecookedem says
I’ve totally done that before, put a cinnamon bun on top of my oatmeal! I did that last Christmas and the funny thing is, when I was eating it I was thinking, “Kath would LOVE this!” lol 🙂
Angela (Oh She Glows) says

Tracey says
It looks like you are having a great time! Also, it was nice to see comments left by your mother and grandmother. 🙂
