Good morning!
I’ve been waking up so early lately, despite not going to bed till late. What gives?! I have another long day ahead of me though although I’m anticipating it will be a little less crazy than yesterday at work because the weather is supposed to really turn today and we’re about to get a bad storm. If you’re in the area, come visit me at Michel Schlumberger for Winter Wineland! I’ll be Picabo again 🙂
Spent the majority of my morning paying all my bills (not fun, but necessary) and catching up on my google reader. Made a big bowl of chia oats for breakfast:
I’m out of bananas still (need to go to the store, stat!) so I just used 1/2 c oats, 1 c soymilk, 1 T chia seeds, 1 T almond butter and a drizzle of agave.

Not packing my lunch today because my boss is getting us deli sandwiches. I was mad that I already ate my boring pb&j yesterday when I saw how good those sandwiches looked! I’m sad I’ll miss church and yoga today. I haven’t done yoga in two days and I’m feeling rather tight. Already looking forward to class tomorrow morning!
Gotta go get my ski clothes on and head to work. See you tonight!

January 17, 2010 at 8:49 am2 whole days without yoga?? That’s just not you, Jenna! Haha jk- have an awesome time at the winter show, it sounds like such a blast!! 🙂
Oh and I missed church this morning because youth group (through church??!) scheduled a meeting that conflicted with mass… I though that was a little weird but whatever.

January 17, 2010 at 1:31 pmI love that feeling *after* duties and chores are done (ie, bills!) Productive mornings are the best. 😀

January 17, 2010 at 2:36 pmI rarely have banana-less oats but when I do it can be a nice change! I need to try chia oats though, interested to see if they fluff up the oatmeal at all!

January 17, 2010 at 2:45 pmYay for the storm coming in… I’m really looking forward to it for some reason! Except for the drive back to Arizona on Monday. Storms + california drivers don’t really mix 🙂

January 17, 2010 at 3:05 pmif i was in cali i would totally roadtrip it to see you dressed like picabo street 🙂 hope you have fun at the winery today!

Jenny
January 17, 2010 at 3:22 pmWhen my body gets really into a routine of waking up at the same time, even late nights won’t get me a few more hours in the morning! Internal alarm clocks 😉

January 17, 2010 at 4:33 pmI am always sad when I run out of bananas for banana oatmeal.
And for missing church just get into the Word on your own. God is a forgiving God and understands.
Madelin @ What is for breakfast?
January 17, 2010 at 5:11 pmGosh I have so many bananas too, I think I went overboard because they were reduced ;)!
Jonna
January 17, 2010 at 5:33 pmHi Jenna,
I have been following your blog for some time now and really enjoy it. Love all of your creative food combos, etc. As an oatbran/oatmeal eater, I have been interested in adding egg whites to my bowls but don’t know when to add it in the cooking process. I always start adding my oatbran to my almond milk/water combo before I even heat it up and also add a thinly sliced banana in, then I start cooking and let it cook for awhile on the stovetop. Wasn’t sure when to add in the whites as I don’t want to end up with egg pieces floating in my bowl?
Thanks! Jonna

January 17, 2010 at 6:00 pmI always have TOO many bananas and don’t eat them fast enough. Probably because I DON’T put them in oatmeal – I know, a total sin. I’m just afraid they will overwhelm the oatmeal, no?

January 17, 2010 at 6:48 pmBusy gal! Jenna – how do you feel about still blogging and stuff with all you got going on ?? Just curious – because I know your busy with writing and stuff – do you ever wonder if you should just focus on that – or does it not take up much of your time?…then again I guess your not working full-time!!
Pam (@ TotalHealthCounseling)
January 17, 2010 at 7:05 pmOatmeal is not complete without bananas 🙂 Still looks delicious though. I’ve become obsessed with almond butter, I think it’s my first love over peanut butter now. I blame you 😉
Heather (The Single Dish)
January 17, 2010 at 7:27 pmLooks like a yummy breakfast anyway! Enjoy your day.
Brittany
January 17, 2010 at 7:54 pmLove the chia oats – mmmm!

January 18, 2010 at 7:13 amI love the Picabo Street reference! Growing up I had a little tribute to her on the back of my bedroom door. Whatever happened to her??
Hope you have a great day!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie
January 18, 2010 at 7:42 amI totally feel you on missing church. I feel like I missed out on visiting family when I can’t make it to church for some reason

Paige (Running Around Normal)
January 25, 2010 at 9:58 amWah – I can’t find canned pumpkin at ANY of the grocery stores lately. And Libby’s Farm is 20 minutes from my house!!
Apparently it was a really bad year this year for pumpkins.

January 25, 2010 at 3:27 pmI have yet to add egg whites to my oats, must try that soon. They look so fluffy!
Jenna @ Health and Happiness
January 25, 2010 at 7:27 pmBarney butter! Yep, I love oats and nut butter! I can’t wait to read more!
Deva (Voracious Vorilee)
January 25, 2010 at 7:36 pmI started adding eggwhites to my oats after seeing you do so – they become so filling with just a white or two. It’s delicious, too!
Amber K @ sparkpeople
June 2, 2010 at 11:18 amHow interesting! I was searching through your old posts and found this one. I wonder what sort of consistency the egg whites add!
