Hope so! Kinda of an orange julius type thing.

it was very yummy

I need to sort out some more convenient lunch stuff that's still healthy. I was doing hummus, lettuce, and roasted pepper on multigrain bread, and it was good, but it ended up doing a number on my stomach.

overnight oats?

For lunch?

yes!

I spent today cooking, so...

Hmm. Maybe. We do love oatmeal around here.

I like them w/nuts & berries

I mean, we have lots of breakfast things ready to grab and go.

The boys also report that a short list of ready breakfasts on the fridge helps them figure out what to grab.

My recipe makes up 3 1-cup servings, it's fine cold but also good if I nuke it

chuckle You know how to run a mess hall, Shady.

Catnik, send recipe?

Seems both DH and I were ready to make a bit of a shift in what we're eating. With me at home more, it makes sense for me to meal plan and such.

1 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (regular milk works, but almond is kinder to the beetus. Greek yogurt is also fine.) 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats. Dash salt, sweetener of choice (I use 2 splenda packets, you could use honey or maple syrup), enough vanilla & cinnamon to make your heart happy. And a dash more cinnamon. Tablespoon of chia seeds for extra protein.

It needs the extra 1/4 cup to round out to three 1 cup servings, in my experience. I also usually mix most things with the yogurt and THEN add the milk, and THEN the oats. Cinnamon stirs in better that way.

And the nuts, etc get added at meal time?

Yup! Or in the morning when I am packing lunch/doling out an individual tupperware.

👍 I might try that!

I have a cute little microwavable mug/crock with a lid

Cute gear helps.

it does!

We don't really use a microwave here much anymore...it's in the basement now. But at work, microwavable something makes good sense.

As said, it's fine cold - but in winter, I prefer it nuked.

It's not bad with peaches, or applesauce, but I default to berries.

Trunk or treat at RE tonight instead of RE, and Thing2 wanted to go but it had to be a 'churchy' costume. So we did some costuming and makeup work, with a nod to theatre. He went as the Angel of Death from Exodus.

Ha! "Churchy" and badass.

((bow))

I caught up on the tale of Rae's sartorial woes. 😞

I hope she was able to get it fixed

It is a SAGA.

Did you see that shower present arrived?

Oh, yes!

I'm just glad she has her eye back.....

She's just trying to get ALL the drama out of the way before the baby gets here.

What's her due date again?

We both know that's a ballpark figure.....

Oh, sure, but ballpark?

No clue.

I think I've officially decided that I'm going into this work week a bit unprepared.

I'm wingin' it

Not completely winging, since these are the lessons I had planned for last week, more-or-less. But...yeah.

it'll be fine, fuck it

Yup.

Fuckabunchofit. ((nods))

I bought blocks for class tomorrow

we're gonna use them to play with scenic models

OOoh, neat!
