Sunny Puddles

Morning!!

IMG_4112-2Blog

My run wore.me.out. this morning. I was fine while I was running, but I did my route backwards, which I swear is harder than forwards. I’m feeling kind of groggy afterwards! It just so hot out there.

Overnight oats to the rescue!

IMG_4107-2Blog

I’ve been adding a bit more milk to my oats to give them a slightly soupier texture. I prefer this to super thick and hard to scrape out of the bottom

IMG_4108-2Blog

Drip

IMG_4109-2Blog

Doctored up with frozen/thawed raspberries, Cville Cluster crumbs and a sunflower butter puddle!

IMG_4119-2Blog

IMG_4116-2Blog

IMG_4118-2Blog

Iced café.

IMG_4117-2Blog

And a complete breakfast

IMG_4110-2Blog

I’m a’bikin’ in a bit to the bakery for the day. Gonna be a long one! Amanda from Great Harvest is visiting, and of course that means dinner on the town. Including friends from Great Harvest Warrenton and Great Harvest Burke!

Adios!

    I like mine thicker too – I’ve been known to add chia and throw the mix back into the fridge for 30 mins to let some of the excess milk soak up.

    I alllllllllmost made overnight oats last night but I decided on warm oats instead (i just love the warm strawberries!)

    This looks delish. And please let your grandmother and/or mother know that if either or them would like to adopt me and provide me with beautiful dishes/placemats/cloths/jars as well, I think I’d be willing to allow that 😉

    I always love the idea of OIAJ, but last time I got to the end of my pumpkin butter jar, it was too tiny a jar to make oats in. Definitely looking forward to finishing off my SSB so that I can slop up the delicious oats in that.

    Btw, definitely going to order the mushroom kits today — I can’t wait to have fresh shrooms for my meals! Have fun at dinner!

        Unfortunately, GPS chips throughout various parts of bicycles should become standard equipment AND then everyone needs to follow through with prosecution. There is so much crime because people are getting away with doing bad things (maybe more in some areas than others). Hopefully, Cville will remain safe and fun. Also, tell the racoons and fox or other misbehaving animals to leave el tigre and other cute fluffy things alone. Maybe their food chain can concentrate on rats and other disease spreading, fast multiplying, property damaging rodents. (Sorry, in advance, to any readers who like rodents.)

    I make your overnight oats almost every night I have to work early the next morning. They are a life saver, not to mention delicious! I like them thick, though, with an extra dollop of greek yogurt on top for more creaminess.

    Holy wow! I thought I was doing good with fresh whipped honey my MIL brought back from Colorado this weekend and yogurt. Your’s looks so much better though! Maybe it’s because I had to sneak my bites in between 2 overly needy toddlers this morning? I did get 2 cups of coffee down…that’s a miracle for me.

    I don;t like doing my routes backwards either! It messes with my head… so strange why that happens. Today I am going to switch it up and run a new route from my office… it goes along the Charles River and seems as though it would be much more peaceful than running along busy streets like I usually have to at home.

    Good luck today!

    I also had ‘overnight’ oats after my run today, but they were more like ’30 minute oats’ 🙂

    I think the difficulty in running a familiar route backwards is that certain landmarks cue your brain to think “this is a hard part or this is an easy part”, and when you totally switch that around you are looking forward to a downhill cruise section, when it really is the opposite. At least that is the decision I have come to, because when I did a regular run backwards I was totally dogging it.
