I didn’t feel like working out first thing today, so I went straight to oatmeal. I wanted something sweet + Christmasy:
Cinnamon Buns + EggNog
- 1/3 cup oats, vanilla soy milk, water, 1 medium ripe banana, pinch salt
- 2-3 tbsp wheatberries
- 1/4 crumbled Cinnamon Bun LaraBar
- Drizzle of egg nog around the edges (This was from Gran Bett’s visit and the real deal.)
- Spoonful Barney Butter
With coffee and Christmas carols 🙂
I spent the morning watching part of the new Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe movie. I used to LOVE watching it every Christmas at my grandmother’s house (the old one of course). She had a closet of big coats and my cousins and I would dress up in them and go in and out of every wardrobe in the house. So fun
Not sure what’s in store for the day. I need to start on my post-exams to-do list, which is quite long. I might save my workout for this evening and go to kickboxing like I did in the olden days. We’ll see.
caitlin says

Kath – I am jealous!! I want those oats – my stomach is growling.

Tina says
Mmmmm… eggnog! Must buy more!
Biz says
I loved the Narnia books growing up!
Love your oats! I love all things egg nog!
vegantickles says
quick question… how much liquid do you use in your oatmeal? Is it 1/3 cup of soymilk and water?
JJ125 says
I think I have read The Chronicles of Narnia 100 times… finally saw the new movie this weekend and was very impressed. Liam Neeson voicing Aslan was an amazing choice….
Melissa says
i think the cinnamon roll larabar is underrated. this looks like a delish combo of oats to me!
Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) says
Oh my gosh – eggnog in the oats. I’ve seen this on a few blogs, and it makes my mouth water every time. Yum!
Courtney (Eat The Whole Thing) says
Ohh yummy. Christmas in a bowl! Love it.
VeggieGirl says
BEYOND BRILLIANT BOWL OF OATS!!
Mara says
I absolutely LOVE the old Narnia movie!! I remember trying to find out what the heck Turkish Delight was…
Jennifer says
I don’t think I’ve ever read that you just didn’t feel like working out. I always thought you kept stringently to your morning workout routine. I also woke up this morning and thought, nah, not today, so yay for solidarity! I also like your attitude of maybe I’ll do kickboxing. I def get like that too.
ashley (sweet & natural) says
Loving the cinnamon bun oats!
bobbi says
I so put eggnog in my oats the other day! I loved it:) I haven’t had that LARABAR yet, mmmm…YOU SHOULD go to kickboxing:)
Katelyn says
Your childhood Christmas tradition sounds so fun! I’m sure everyone’s parents loved knowing that’s what their kids were doing!
Mel says
Your oats look amazing! I think it’s the eggnog!
Kickboxing sounds like a lot of fun! You should definitely go and then give us a report! 😉
runjess says
I loved the OLD The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe movie when I was little. I do not like the new one.
I had brussels and sweet potato fries last night too. They go so well together. Not sure why.
Maggie says
Hooray for xmas oats! I’ve never had that Larabar flavour but it sounds delish 🙂
Oh She Glows says
Ohh kickboxing sounds fun! 🙂
Your oatmeal combos are always so creative- you should create your own cookbook filled with all the different combos that you do!

Turkish Delight! I love the old movie too, and the books of course. I thought the new movie was beautifully done.
Susannah says
I LOVE the old Narnia movie. Haven’t seen the new one, but your post reminded me of Lucy saying “Oh, Pete-ah!” in those great English accents!
denise says
the link to the barney butter hasn’t been working the last few times you used it and I’m dying to know what this stuff is!
Victoria says
I want eggnog. In oatmeal, it sounds delicious.
Missy (Missy Maintains) says
I have never had eggnog. I know everying is going to think I am crazy! I must try it after seeing it in your oatmeal!

Jennifer says
don’t go to kickboxing, don’t go… stay HOME and chill with your man
teresa says
are you all done w/ christmas shopping? you could consider that your “workout” instead of going to the gym. it just seems you have not done much christmas shopping at all.
Moran says
Oh hope you get to try kickboxing!
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was the first book I ever read in English; it was awesome!
bee says
wow, your oatmeal looks (and sounds!) beyond delicious.
JENNA says
Yum, I love larabars! But I’ve never had the cinnamon bun one!! sounds delicious! I live in a small town and every grocery store around here doesn’t carry them or they all have the same 3 kinds!! lol!! Sounds like a cozy morning 🙂
therunningveggie says
I haven’t watched the old Narnia movie in ages! Coincidentally though, I watched Prince Caspian last night. It was better than I thought it was going to be. Your oats look wonderful as always.
K says
I feel like I say this everyday but it’s always true: those oats look AMAZING!
Have a blast kickboxing!!
lauren says
your oats look so gooooood! and i just saw that movie over thanksgiving and really enjoyed it.
jen says
for anyone in the philadelphia area (or wants to make the trip!), the franklin institute just opened a traveling exhibit. my and the boy might hit this up eventually.
it is the art and science behind the scenes of the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe!
http://www2.fi.edu/exhibits/traveling/narnia/index.php
it looks really cool. the have props, you walk through the wardrobe into the snow covered sets. you can touch a real ice throne. i love the fi. i’ve been going there since i was a kid. you don’t even have to be a science nerd to enjoy it. mmm…planetariums. 🙂
jen says
oops. i meant to put the link to the exhibits video

Shelby says
I can’t believe only 10 MORE DAYS until Christmas!!! How exciting and those oats just make it seem closer =)
Christina says
I love Narnia movies! I recently watched some of the older versions, and I forgot how much I enjoy it!
joanne says
I’m dying to see Narnia and/or read the books!
On a different note, and hope no one minds me asking for this help:
Are there any tips/hints/suggestions that you all might be able to offer regarding selling at Green Markets or Farmers Markets? If you’ve been to any, worked at any…..what attracts your attention? We are thinking of doing a “healthy granola” booth. Thanks! Joanne
Fitness Surfer says
Wow! Oatmeal just keeps getting better. I’m a huge fan of coconut cinnamon, and peanut butter. Now I need to try egg nog.
Fancy says
Joanne—A “Healthy Granola Booth” sounds amazing! I wish my Green Market in Chicago had that one. Where are you located?
Maybe have little cups of samples for people to try? That way, if they try it and love it—spending the money on a whole bag wouldn’t seem so bad. I would be nervous to spend a lot of money on an entire bag if I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy it. I hope that helps!

vegantickles ,
Yes, 1/3 each of milk, water and oats. Check out the Tribute to Oatmeal for the recipe:

Mara ,
I LOVE the Turkish delight parts! I think I had it once and it was good. But we always used to pretend a box of regular chocolates was Turkish delight when we played 🙂
Oh She Glows,
I’d love to do an oatmeal cookbook – someday!!
denise ,
Oh my – thanks for letting me know! I think I fixed it. In the meantime, it’s http://www.barneybutter.com.
teresa ,
I did 75% of my shopping yesterday!

Megan says
What a fabulous combination of flavors! I would love to have those oats on my breakfast table.
AppleC says
Thank you Fancy. Actually the booth going to be in Boynton Beach, FL. Your suggestions was great!
Caroline says
Yum! I love pastry-inspired oatmeal!
