Good morning!
I had such a weird night last night. It took me foreverrrr to fall asleep and then once I did I had strange dreams about running. I actually FELT like I was running in my dream and when I woke up, I felt exhausted. How weird is that?
Anyways, more oats in a jar this morning and they were overflowing!!
The raspberries didn’t fit so I ate them on the side and then when the oatmeal level was a tad lower, I smooshed it all together! 🙂
I used 1/2 cup oats, water and banana…..LOVING this Blue Diamond almond butter and the fact that it’s only $3.99!
***
YAY for yoga wednesday and my favorite power class at noon! This class seriously gets me through the midweek hump.
***
Been gchatting with Caitlin for an HOUR now! Gotta love deep heart to hearts over the computer. We are both going to the POM Harvest Tour next month in Fresno and are so excited to pick pomegranates! 🙂
Must finish writing this article and pull my life together!

September 16, 2009 at 9:38 amI have dreams like that sometimes – it’s so weird! Love the fact that you “smooshed” in the berries when there was room! Creative to be sure.

September 16, 2009 at 10:43 amJust discovered your blog and really enjoying it! The jar oats look DIVINE! I’m living in Paris now and with all the beautiful pastries I still crave oatmeal in the morning. Did you go to the Cordeu Bleu in Paris? That is my dream, if you went I would love to hear about your experience!
All the best,
Gillian

September 16, 2009 at 11:28 amDo you like the flavor of that Almond Butter? I have seen it at my whole foods, yet have not decided if I should buy it yet!! I am guessing its worth it? 🙂 looks like a killer jar of oats!
Morgan (lifeafterbagels)
September 16, 2009 at 11:30 amI have never tried pomegranates. They confuse me, maybe you could do a tutorial after your trip.
Mary (Food & Fun)
September 16, 2009 at 11:34 amYour oats look so delicious this morning. Yummm. Love oats. From the Almond Butters that I have tried, I have not really been a fan…I am just crazy about Peanut Butter! Am I weird?? Maybe I should give Blue Diamond a shot.
You are so lucky that you get to pick pomegranates. I could only dream to do that! haha.
Matt

September 16, 2009 at 12:12 pmHey! i have been reading your blog for a few weeks now and literally can’t go through my day without reading it! is that weird?? haha
So I keep on remembering how you eat the Chobani yogurts a lot and i really wanted to try one! So when i got to college i walked into my campus’ convenient store and there they were! Chobani’s in like all different flavors! and let me tell you, they are delicious! I cannot even express how excited i was, i’m lame i know!
Can’t wait to find other stuff in the stores that you talk about!
Molly
September 16, 2009 at 12:17 pmI have looked EVERYWHERE for the Blue Diamond almond butter …I love blue diamond almonds so I MUST give this a shot 🙂
Also, I must tell you that after many months of following your blog I have finally gotten off my butt and started my own. (I seriously think we might be the same person. no lie.)
Check it out! 🙂 and I hope you have a great day!

September 16, 2009 at 12:26 pmI’m sorry you haven’t gotten good rest lately – a lot on your mind, perhaps? You’ve had one crazy summer, lady!
At least you had a delish breakfast to start the day right!
Beth @ DiningAndDishing
September 16, 2009 at 12:32 pmI was so tempted to buy that almond butter at Whole Foods the other day and then decided to just stick with what I know. After hearing you rave about it though I think I’ll have to pick some up on my next trip!
Tracy
