Shredded Apple Oats

Here we are back again to another week.  The weekend flew by.  Seriously, where does it always go?

I did pretty good with my to-do list yesterday.

• Final assignment for my HTML class (4 page website)
• 4-6 mile run (no Joe, but I’ll walk him later)
• The final carpet shampooing upstairs (dining room and walk way) and downstairs (hall)
• Prep dinners for the week + make Hawaiian pizza tonight (yum)
• Pick up my parents from the airport
• Go to the mall and pick out something for $10 with a card I got in the mail… probably a new workout tank top.
• Make dog food for Joe.  I got a recipe for dogs with sensitive stomachs from the vet we’re going to try out. It’s more natural + I’m sure he’ll love it.  I’ll share for sure this week!

Finishing up 5.5 out of 7 is pretty good to me!  This week’s meal are pretty simple so even though I didn’t prep it’ll be nice n easy.

Before even tackling any of this I made twin mugs of oatmeal.

I always offer to make Jacob oatmeal when I’m cooking some for myself.  90% of the time I get a no.  Still, I continue to offer and then I got a yes!

 

Shredded Apple Oats
Serves 2

Combine the following in a pot, then turn the heat to medium…

• 2 1/4 cups liquid (half water half soymilk used here)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 of a grated apple (skin left on)

Allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Once the oats have thickened to your liking divide into 2 bowls, or mugs.  Add your toppings…

• 1/4 of a grated apple (skin left on)
• peanut butter
• crunch nuts and seeds would be tasty here too

Normally I’m all about banana in my oats, but since Jacob was having some I left it out.  The shredded apple was so tasty in here I’ve got to do it more often!

I love these mugs Jacob got me.  The little spoons are so much fun to eat out of.  They even came with lids to take food on the go.

Now that I finished my last HTML assignment I can focus on my group fitness certification studies!  There is a 30 day outline to follow which will be perfect.  My test is in 30 days + 1 week, so that extra week will give me time to catching up/extra preparations.  I opened up the book last night and cannot wait to dive into it!

What was your favorite breakfast this weekend?  You know I’m all about breakfast here.
