Banana Oatmeal

It was one of those nights of tossing and turning. No matter what I did or thought about, I could not fall into a deep sleep, I kept waking up! First, I had to pee, which requires me to walk down a flight of stairs to the 2nd floor (I’m on the 3rd)…so I laid there trying not to think about it. Then I started hearing weird noises and realized it was my stomach growling. Looked at the clock and it was only 3:00 AM (too early for breakfast and too lazy to get a snack). Finally, I got up to pee which completely woke me up. Got back to bed and laid there for a while, my mind began to wander, scheming my day. I thought about my Kin lecture yesterday on how sleep is extremely important during stressful times. Sleep = Productivity, so I turned the radio on low hoping it would lull be back to bed, only to wake up to the sunrise a few hours later!

And here I am. Wide awake, not even 8 AM.

For breakfast I thought about making something creative. If only my oven wasn’t broken When in doubt, banana oatmeal!!

Banana Oatmeal

Ingredients

1/5 C old fashioned oatmeal
2 T oat bran
1 small sliced nanner
1/2 t chia seeds
~1 C water (I’ve never actually measured)

Toppings

1 T PB Flour Sauce
1/2 T peanut butter
raisins

*I should have taken my own advice and stayed FAR FAR away from Target considering the amount of stress I have been under. I got this cool ceramic bowl and placemat last night to spruce up my picture taking

Back to my oats. I’m telling you, there is nothing like stove top oats and I am really starting to miss them. So creamy, fluffy, satisfying. Microwaved oats are good, don’t get me wrong. They are just a lot chewier and the oats don’t expand so it seems like you have less.

I have a full day ahead of me –> workout, work, homework. Oh yah, and avoid the gigantic snow storm we are suppose to get today. They are saying 8 inches, starting at 1 PM. Is it summer yet??

Happy Friday Foodies!
