For a bedtime snack, I had some French bread and olive oil.

Here’s what my instant oatmeal actually looked like.  Less delicious looking than Quaker’s photo; mine were too watery.  I beefed it up by adding extra raisins.

I snacked on baby carrots dipped in Laughing Cow cheese.

For lunch I ate each Arnold Thin as an open [...]

1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Someone ate the last container of yogurt…  So running late as usual, my only option was the grab a packet of instant oatmeal and scoot out the door.  When mealtime arrived, of course I added a spoonful of peanut butter to beef it up a little.

Today’s outfit was another last minute decision.  I [...]

1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 cup of frozen [...]

With temperatures in the single digits here in Boston, a warm breakfast in order:

1 cup of water
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 tablespoon of blueberry flaxseed
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
pieces of dried apple
1 tablespoon of cranberry apple butter

It was tart and delicious.  The pieces of dried apple added [...]

I always get inspired by food on other people’s blogs but never follow through and make it for myself.  Today I did!
My stove top oats contained:

1 cup of water
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1 tablespoon of dark chocolate chips
1 handful of mini-marshmallows

You do the hokey pokey and you shake stir [...]
