Oats + Jar

Finally, finally, I was able to try out the infamous Oats In a Jar!  Ever since Brian discovered the amazingness that is Almond Butter, we’ve been going through it a little faster than normal.

Can’t say I’m too upset though, because I new exactly what to do with that almost-empty jar!

I’ve seen it all over blog world and it always looks delicious…and it was!

• 1/3 cup oats
• 1/3 cup skim milk
• 1/3 cup water
• salt
• drop of vanilla bean paste
• 1/2 big banana

Toppings:

• blueberries
• unsweetened coconut
• a little Kashi U crushed up
• a bit more Almond Butter from a new jar :)
  
  

I haven’t had oats in what seems like forever now, and it was as delicious as I can remember.  I plan on having more tomorrow for b-fast!

I then made Brian and I some Sunday morning cappuccinos

2 shots

cold milk

FOAM!!

Delicious.

Sunday Dinner at Mom’s

My mom invited us for dinner.  She made one of her favorites…Spanish Steak.  It’s a simple, 1 pot dish, that goes way back…I’m not even sure how far back but I know my grandfather used to eat it growing up!  Don’t be fooled by the name though…I’m pretty sure the only “Spanish” thing about it is the Spanish olives :)  SO good though!!

She used her new pot we got her for Christmas

Mmmm comfort food!

Oven baked potatoes.   I ate half and saved half for lunch tomorrow.

Delicious salad: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green apple, dried cranberries, and blue cheese.  Balsamic dressing was added.

The more temptation…

This is another “oldie”, Cottage Pudding. Not sure why it’s called that, but its homemade white cake (or yellow…whatever you want).  Then topped with a hot chocolate sauce which is basically made of condensed milk and baking chocolate…cooked and stirred until it thickens.

Oh man this was good.  I had a baby piece, and may have gone and picked a little more.

Bed time!!  I leave you with a little Willow love :)
