Day 2: Blog Challenge!

So it's day 2 of my December blog challenge and I'm still here! The challenge of the day you ask?  Here it is:

Day 2 - A photo of something you ate today.






This morning I woke up craving oatmeal.  We got up early...well Jason did (5:45am) and as I drank my coffee I started googling things like healthy breakfast cookies or loaded oatmeal.  I ended up at one of my favorite websites Kath Eats Real Food.  Kath is a registered dietitian and one of my favorite healthy living bloggers.  I knew she'd come through when it came to a good oatmeal recipe.  This is the recipe I decided on: Baked Banana Oatmeal.  I cut her recipe in half (hers serves 4) and added about a teaspoon of natural peanut butter to my wet ingredients.  This turned out to be filling, good for me and a hit with Rylie!  I ate around 7:45am and it's nearly 1pm...and I'm still pretty full.  The middle is yummy and oaty (yep. I'm saying that's a word) and the outside is chewy an delicious.  The bananas caramelize and and it's a little bit of heaven. Great way to start a day.


Come back tomorrow to find out what day 3 of the challenge has in store for me.  I can honestly say that I haven't even read challenge #3, so it'll be a surprise to us all!  Now I'm off to get some lunch and finally put some lights on my little Christmas tree.  It's about time!  Have a great day  =)

  3. Thanks ya'll! It was quite yummy. Definitely a different take on your regular run of the mill oatmeal. And Jess, at least you have the lights on your tree! I couldn't find the lights, so mine is still nekkid!
