Well, well, well...it has been over a year since I last posted on my blog! Excuses?.....I've got 'em!
Mostly the fact that I am not very good at it!
I have been reading a gal's blog that has spurred me on to want to try again. http://www.katheats.com/ is the name of her blog. She is an eater of whole, real food, something I am interested in doing better. I stumbled upon her blog one day last week and have been enjoying learning from it. I have even tried a recipe for kale chips! My kids even tried it...they taste like potato chips....bit of an after taste though! I was proud of us for trying something new!
I think I may have even discovered an enjoyment for oatmeal!!!! I have tried, and tried, and tried again to develop a love for a bowl of oatmeal but it has eluded me....up until this point!
I have discovered the perfect bowl of oatmeal!!! I actually look forward to my bowl of oatmeal!!
The secret is in the mix-ins!!!! My favorite way to make it right now is a 1/4 cup oatmeal mixed with a cup of milk. Bring to a boil and then...get this....cut up 1/2 a banana and toss into the oatmeal. Let it simmer for about 10- 20 minutes..the banana melts right in giving it a yummy nanner flavor. I then top it with walnuts and then for the best part......a dollop of peanut butter or almond butter with some left on the spoon so you get a taste of it each time you take a bit! yum!!! For anyone that knows me knows I have grown up with a mighty love for peanut butter! So glad peanut butter is a whole food!!! Just for fun I will take a picture in the a.m. of my oatmeal creation and try to get savy enough on my blog with a post of the picture!
As for the stuff of life....Mike's still working, kids are still growing, I'm still homeschooling.....life is good!
