Baby Steps

Hey guys! Happy weekend! I hope that you like this new format. I felt like it was time for a bit of a change and I think this works. Thanks, also, for the well wishes. I’m definitely feeling much better. I hate when my stomach is off, blech. 

Anywho, its an absolutely beautiful fall day here. After a great night’s sleep, I got up and made an adventure of my morning coffee. I got up, got my walking gear on and set out to a coffee shop that is about 2.25 miles away. It was so nice to get moving and enjoy the quiet of morning.  I grabbed my coffee and made my way back home, sipping the warm goodness all the way. It was great. I’m not going to lie though – I was more than ready for oats when I got back.

This just wasn’t any bowl of oatmeal, though. Oh no, these were pumpkin oats! Yep! I made the jump. I still don’t think I could eat sweet potato just yet, but the pumpkin was calling to me at the store and thus, I went for it.

This bowl was made with 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup pumpkin, tons of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and 1/2 a nanner cooked in. Once all was cooked, I topped this bad boy with some peanut butter, the other half of my nanner and some honey. So good. :)

Good day. I do love your new layout and I am glad that you are feeling better. Also, your walk sounds absolutely wonderful.

We went to look at cars yesterday and today we have spent today around the house. Mushroom ravioli is cooking and I am about to enjoy a beer while making a pecan pie. :)
