Breakfast brilliance.

Bored with the same-old breakfast stand-bys? Try this super easy savory oatmeal!

Oatmeal (For one serving, I used 1/2 c oats with 1 c water.)
While oats are cooking, whip up an 'over easy egg'.
After oatmeal is fully cooked, mix with as much chopped fresh spinach as you'd like.
Pour oatmeal/spinach combo into your dish.
Place a few slices of cheese over the oatmeal, I use Tillamook (of course) medium cheddar but, swiss or mozzarella would probably be yummy too.
Then place your cooked egg on top. Wa-la!

I feel so great after eating this healthy meal & it stays with me for hours. Let me know what you think!

Ho Ho Ho. (Post #200!)

Our Christmas flew by. J worked both Christmas Eve & Christmas day this year. It worked out fine & we just carried-on with family, without him. We then had our family's "Christmas morning" at 11:15am when he walked in the door December 26th.

If it wasn't for this late celebration, I have a feeling my Christmas decorations would have been put away December 25th by midnight. (Is this terrible to say out loud?) I have no idea why I felt this way this year... However, as soon as the festivities were celebrated I was scurrying around the house packing-up & clearing the clutter.

(they call them "love-handles" for a reason...)

The last decoration to come off the tree was our precious L angel. The house is now in order & I can breathe again.

Swanson's

This year we met up with a few MOPS moms & their little ones at Swanson's to see the reindeer, camel & donkey. Curly, the camel was our fav this year.
