    Banana & Peanut Butter "One Hour" Oats

    0 shares




    These past few days have been about family and airport pickups, and unfortunately I haven't been home to blog.  In addition, I dragged my sister to help me with decor & furniture shopping.  Now even though she is traditionalist, and I'm more contemporary, she gives me really good advice on what to buy and what to avoid.  As you know I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and I'm trying to add a few more furniture items to make the place feel warm, without making it feel cluttered.  You know?  It's not easy when you are living in a small space, you really need to select furniture that is not too overbearing.  So instead of depending on my own instincts, I run over to my sister and ask her to pick out stuff for me and decorate my place... LOL!  Too much to ask for I guess, well the best part is she loves doing it... so yay!

    As you know my brother is a huge fan of oatmeal and he usually makes it on the stove without anything in it, so boring in my opinion.  The past few months I've eaten oatmeal, I've added fruits, peanut butter and all sorts of goodies to increase the nutrition.  After reading one of my favorite blogs, Carrots N Cake by Tina Haupert, I decided to give cold oatmeal a try.  Tina's version is slightly different since she leaves the oats overnight in the refrigerator, however the oats become way too mushy for my liking.  Instead I tried a few versions and came up with "One Hour" Oats where I leave the oats soaked in milk and other ingredients for just an hour prior to eating them.  I find the oats to be yummy, slightly soft, and delicious.  Let me know your thoughts. 

    OMG... Now I'm watching Oprah's Favorite Things episode... can't wait to see her recommendations!  🙂
