HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Matt turns 27 today :mrgreen:]
I celebrated with a wonderful shower and a bowl of overnight oats
- ~1/3 cup Oikos (all I had left 🙁 )
- 1/3 cup oats
- ~1/2 cup milk (too much so it was pretty liquidy!)
- 1 smallish banana
- 1 tbsp chia
- Pinch salt
- Crunchy Coconut Granola
- Pumpkin butter
- Maranatha AB
Combine the first 6 the night before. Stir. Put in fridge. Wait overnight. Add toppings. Eat cold. NO COOKING INVOLVED!!!
Combine
A lucky 7 as part of 2-7!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m cooking (a.k.a. steaming) Vanilla Cinnamon Oatmeal for ~40 cafeteria managers today! Should be exciting.
Shannon says
Happy birthday to your wonderful husband!!
Kori says
Happy birthday to Matt! My boyfriend is named Matt and will be turning 27 later this year. 🙂 Maybe I’ll have to celebrate with the same bowl of overnight oats. Have a great day Kath!!

Since it’s winter time, I haven’t given much thought to overnight oats lately (brr, they’re cold)…but your lovely bowl made me crave some. That coconut crunch granola sounds so good!

Gotta try the oats.
Regarding the school food, is it just your particular district or has school food come a long way in the past 10-15 years? I’m in NC too and amazed with your tales of the cafeteria since I hear such poor things about NC school systems. Lucky kids!
Kath says
Yes, this school district is amazing.

Happy birthday to Matt! I need to try those oats – things that can be done the night before are key for my early mornings. However, I might have to wait ’til it gets a tad warmer; Baltimore is TOO COLD!

Happy birthday Matt! Just wanted to stay that I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and you have been a huge inspiration for me to start my own blog! Seriously , your way of life has been such a motivation tool for me. And a sincere thanks for introducing me to OATS. Before I started reading these blogs I NEVER used oats, can you believe it?! Now they are part of my daily routine.
