Still singing that SNL song!!!!!!!!!!
Early mornings will NOT prevent me from enjoying some delicious, hot, stove-top oatmeal
- 1/4 cup Scottish oatmeal (one serving), 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup milk
- 1 super ripe banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp coconut, stirred in
- Mix My Granola on top
- Barney Butter residue!! (~1 tbsp?)
An eggplant floating in half-decaf Christmas Blend
Peace 
I’m out!
[Quickest post ever 🙂 ]

My coworker and I were just talking about you yesterday. Ha, sounds funny, but she was telling me how she is convinced that she see’s “Hearts” in just about everything. Soups that she makes, her cereal bowl, in the sink after she brushes her teeth. So anyways, I told her that I have a blog friend who also sees shapes in her coffee everyday! 🙂 I totally thinks this means that you are truly artistic and are able to see the imagery in life. Great characteristic! 🙂
Have a great day lady!
Kath says

zestycook says
That was a quick post but I love the Barney Butter 🙂
Marisa (Loser for Life) says
Good for you for still making time to eat your healthy and delicious oats!
amanda says
Yummm, I have never had barney butter before…maybe a new try for me?
Erin says
I’m impressed you still make stovetop oats when you’re leaving so early — I’d just throw ’em in the microwave and call it a day. 😉
Christy says
I really need to try oats on the stove… I’m always using the microwave and have heard SO MANY TIMES that it’s 10x’s better on the stove!
Jenna says
Love your oats in a jar!!
Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
I am in love with how awesome your day was yesterday . . . can’t wait to see what you’re doing today!

I need to try oats in a jar – throwing out empty jars of nut butter is just unacceptable!
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
I love reading your blog and miss all your posts 🙁 I am happy though that you are having a good rotation so far!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
I love that you still light your candle this early in the morning!
Simply Life says
i really need to try having oats in a jar 🙂
megan says
i really need to eat breakfast with a candle! although, I eat breakfast at work so that wouldn’t work too well i guess 🙂
i don’t even like oatmeal that much, but you make it look so good
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
Sounds delicious! Love the little eggplant 😀
Kasey says
I’m impressed that you have time and think to light a candle at breakfast! Your OIAJ look great 🙂
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
The oats look delicious, as always. Have fun today!

Christie @ Honoring Health says
Wow! That was quick! Have a great day!

Haha…you’ve given me hope for upbeat, spunky mornings once early mornings roll into my life next week. 😉 Lovely breakfast!
Kathleen says
Gotta love it.
Emily Eats and Exercises says
Yum. I had my own scottish oats this morning – thanks to you! Mine weren’t in such a lovely container though…
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
the only thing that actually makes an (almost) empty jar of PB tolerable!
Casey (@Spicy&Sweet) says
Haha…quick but entertaining! Your oats always look so yummy. I just had breakfast, but now I want some oats!
Jenny says
I just received samples of Barney Butter in the mail – so excited to try!

skinnyrunner says
looks pretty dang good for having no time and so early in the am!
Jenny says
haha that SNL song never gets old 🙂
jenny says
You put me to shame. I can’t even seem to eat breakfast, period (I rather hit the snooze 90837498237 times, apparently)! Time to dust off the ole’ oatmeal jar and shelve all the excuses, methinks.
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Oats in a jar is THE best breakfast ever! Especially in a Barney Butter jar! I also have an early start on most days but I always take the time to make a good breakfast, starts your day off on the right foot!!
The Paris Food Blague says
almond butter out the jar! yes!!!!
Allison K says
So, I made stovetop oats for the first time this morning, on a weekday. Man…they really are so much better than microwaved!
jenny marie says
Looks awesome! I’m glad you still make time for breakfast!
Susan says
You’ve had me singing that song everytime I make OIAJ too! I feel so pervy….
Lauren @ Eater not a runner says
oats in a jar = the best!
Erin says
If you could be a doll and email me your oats recipe, specific instructions please, I’d be forever greatful.
<—-not giving up yet
Kath says
Check the TRIBUTE TO OATMEAL PAGE!! There’s even a video!
Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
When my mornings got early I cut out oats for a while too but I missed them so much!! Totally worth getting out of bed a bit earlier to make them 🙂
Megan says
Omg…that peace sign icon is too cute to hande. How do you do it?!
Kath says
Gmail Emoticons 🙂
Jil says
I give you so much credit for putting together such an awesome breakfast so early…I struggle with breakfast even when I get to sleep in!
Anne Marie@New Weigh of Life says
I love the eggplant in the oatmeal. I was confused for a second! lol
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
Cute jar of oats!! 😀
Jenn
Sarah says
I am always so heartbroken when I see all the beautiful peanut butter clinging to the sides of the empty pb jar. It never occurred to me to put food in the jar as a way to get every last bit. You are a genious.
Lauren says
An eggplant? I’m going with potato.
RhodeyGirl says
Yum yum yum! Looks awesome! You are such an inspiration to stay organized!!!! I want to be as organized as you!
RhodeyGirl says
I bought Barney Butter “for PhillyBoy” muhhahahaah! It was a great way to justify the shipping charge! “It’s a GIFT!” Too bad he can’t find it anywhere. It might just be hiding in my desk drawer for now….
HeatherBakes says
I just had OIAJ, too!! The best part is that you can just toss the jar afterward. No dishes 🙂
Patricia @ Run Foodie Run says
I just tried Barney Butter for the first time when my roommate bought it the other week…sooo good! 🙂 I definitely need to try it in oatmeal soon! Happy eating everyone!
Angela (The Lady Loves to Eat) says
Nothing is better than Barney Butter OIAJ!
Lauren @ Reading and Running says
OIAJ is such a bittersweet day. I love eating my oats in a jar but at the same time it is sad that the jar is gone. Hmph.
Kelly says
Looks delicious! I made overnight oats last night using the recipe you posted for inspiration and it was soo delicious!!! Definitely going to be making that again soon!
Deirdre says
The SNL skit/song ‘ooooo weeee what’s up with that?! what’s up with that?!’ it get’s stuck in my head too 🙂
BroccoliHut says
That Barney Butter jar is the perfect size for OIAJ!
Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen says
oh.my.gosh those oats look like perfection! yummy yummy yummy!
