Oatmeal

I've become inspired to eat more oatmeal thanks to a great new blog my friend Chelsey reccomended. Kath Eats Real Food is a fantastic website full of great healthy foods prepared by Kath (who is going to school to become a RD). Kath is also an oatmeal fanatic; she makes all sorts of delicious looking oatmeals and her blog was even featured in an article on dailyspark.com that talked about National Oatmeal Month (yes, it's National Oatmeal Month-get out the horns and celebrate!)
One thing that makes Kath's oatmeal look so good is all the yummy stuff she adds to the steaming bowls of healthy heart goodness. This morning I made up my own bowl of yumminess. I started with quick oats and flax seed. I added bananas, a teaspoon of peanut butter, and some chopped pecans to the oatmeal. WOW! It was so good and so filling.

I will call this little creation Banana Nut Oats.

  1. That looks so good! I have been eating a lot of oatmeal also inspired by Kath. This weekend I added yogurt and fresh berries!

  2. I'm another oatmeal fanatic. My favorite combo is whipped banana oatmeal with almond butter, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips. I get up extra early every morning to make it :)

  5. I wish I liked oatmeal! It always looks so good and then I'm disappointed when I taste it and don't like it.
