Good morning my friends! I’ve been stuck on day 9 of the photo challenge (“faceless self portrait”), and I’ve decided to skip it for now. Maybe I’ll come back to it, maybe I won’t. But for day 10 (“something I made”), I wanted to share an idea with you that’s been working really well for me and Matthew!
He has classes every week day and goes to the gym super early, so breakfast is usually hurried. For the past few weeks I’ve been making him a huge batch of oatmeal on Sunday and freezing it so he’ll have a serving for every day of the week! You can add different kinds of fruit to each one for a little variety, and I also throw in toasted walnuts and a spoonful of flaxseed powder.
This is a great solution for people who are in a hurry weekday mornings but still want to eat healthy!
Just follow the directions on the back on the oatmeal container and add your favorite fruits! I also add brown sugar and cinnamon, and I always cook the oatmeal with skim or low fat milk.
If you love apples, apple cinnamon oatmeal is great too! Just cut up the apples and cook them in with the oatmeal so they’ll be softer (unless you like them crunchy!).
The time it takes to reheat from frozen will vary depending on your microwave, but I nuke mine on high about three minutes, stir, then, heat it a few minutes more.
Maybe this idea could make some of your mornings a little easier! Give it a try! :)
PS - A huge, huge thank you to those who donated to help buy beds for the Noel Orphanage. We haven’t raised $2600 as I’d dreamed we could (not even a tiny bit close), but every single little bit helps! (see this post if you want to make as little as a $2 donation to make a difference for some sweet children. If not you… who?)
