Eggy Oatmeal

This week on The Wednesday Oatmeal, I'm featuring a favorite combination of mine: eggs, greek yogurt and oats. This might sound crazy, but the creamy tasty mix of egg yolk and oats is a fabulously tasty way to start the morning. This dish is high in protein, and will keep you full all morning. Try it sometime!

The mix:

1/4 c. rolled oats

2 T oat bran

One egg, sunny side up

A big scoop of plain, nonfat greek yogurt

Mix it up very well, and...

Enjoy!!

Pumpkin oatmeal

I'm on board- it's officially autumn in my world. We had this awesome sixty two degree day, and I decided that it was officially time for real fall food. Just like everyone else, I really adore the transition from summer to fall, everything from changing colors to football season, and of course, the changing temperature. That said, you are going to hear me back-peddling in about three months, saying, "what on earth am I supposed to do with this freezing cold weather, HELP!"

So that leads me into the oatmeal of the week: Pumpkin! Yummm...

1/4 c slow cooker pumpkin oatmeal
1/4 c rolled oats
2 T oat bran
1 T chia seeds
Spoon full of peanut butter
extra milk

I might not be a fabulous chef, but I know what mixes up well in a bowl of oatmeal. This yummy breakfast kept me going all morning, and I fit hearing aids way better when I'm full and happy.

Apple peanut butter oatmeal

¼ c leftover overnight apple oatmeal- I got the recipe from Pinterest.
½ c rolled oats
1 t chia seeds
2 T oat bran
A spoonful of peanut butter
½ c skim milk
½ t agave nectar
A little bit of water
A few dashes of cinnamon









This combination was super good. Just like everyone else, I am so eager for autumn to be here, and I think that one of the best ways to celebrate the change in seasons is with tasty, autumn-themed food. Apple cinnamon is one of my favorite combos- and the peanut butter takes this breakfast from normal good to excellent. 

Peanut butter really is the best. I get in trouble for eating it out of the jar with a spoon. I overheard something on a quiz show the other night that the FDA has set a standardized allotment for an acceptable number of insect parts in peanut butter. Gross! This is why I don’t watch TV.
