Sorry for


The light posting this week.
I don't really have many tales to tell at the moment.
Although I did book my NYE trip to Chicago last night.
So excited!
And I know, It is going to be SO cold. I don't care. It's Chicago. My favorite city and I will be there to ring in 2011.

Hmmm what else...
Tomorrow Bob Dylan tickets go on sale!
I also purchased tickets to the Avett Brothers Halloween Show concert at the Ryman.
Oh and did I mention that the Black Keys will be playing NYE in Chicago!
Now if only I could get Jack White to kiss me on NYE....
Oh how I love good music!

This morning I had overnight oats for the first time in my life and, by golly, they were fantastic!

I'm not a huge fan of warm oatmeal and I HATE instant oatmeal. But I was in desperate need of something to wake me up in the morning and to keep me full until lunch.
I had heard rave reviews of the overnight oats from my favorite food blogger and from others in the blog world.
So I decided to give it a try.
All you do is buy some dried oats
Mix some in a bowl with either milk or some variation of milk ( I use Almond Milk)
mix in some yogurt ( you know how much I hate greek yogurt so I went with just a low fat vanilla).
Mix it together then let sit in the fridge overnight.
The oats absorb the liquid making them soft and edible in the am.
I topped my oats off with some granola, banana, and almond butter (my new favorite thing).
And I am happy to report that it is 11:00 am here and I am full, happy and excited for breakfast tomorrow.

I have been so bored lately with my work outs.
So on Monday I am starting the 30 day Shred with this one.
I don't know if you all are interested in hearing about the 30 day journey and my results. But if you would be interested in me incorporating that into my posts just let me know.
I don't want to bore anyone.

Peace,

  2. Caroline - so glad you enjoyed the overnight oats. It's such a healthy and nutritious breakfast that really has staying power! I think you should try Greek yogurt again in your overnight oats. The almond milk will tame down the taste some. Just think about how much extra protein you're getting! :)

    Thanks for the shout out - you're the best!

  3. Mmm, the overnight oats sound fantastic!
    Trying those asap.

    I used to eat instant oatmeal every morning of my life during my freshman and sophomore years of college. Eww...too much. Now, it's hard to get a spoonful down.

    But I think I could do the overnight oats!
