Yes, today will be all raw, all the time.
Eating raw all the time is definitely not right for my body, but I find raw days here and there to be a nice way to step back from the food routine and reassess. I’ve been stuck in a bit of rut lately — oats for breakfast, [...]

Black Bean Brownies with Walnuts
I’ve been thinking all week about black bean brownies, and last night I finally had the chance to make them. I used Celine’s recipe with a few modifications. I didn’t have any applesauce, so I nixed that, and I used 4 tablespoons of carob chips instead of cocoa. And I added walnuts.
They were pretty good — [...]

new breakfast… for me.
I eat oatmeal every morning. I have for I don’t know how long. And it’s such a ritual, and I’m so attached to it, that I don’t like for that routine to be infringed upon, ever. But this week something happened. I ran out of oats. For whatever reason, I didn’t buy more. I didn’t [...]

Cake Oats
I bet you could see this one coming… What does a girl do with morning after cake? Put it on oats, of course…
I’m out of peanut butter (shock! horror!) but this was the perfect substitution… Got my veggies in for the morning!
I know I promised a long post this morning, but I’m running very very [...]

Sunday Brunch!
Actually it’s just the regular old oats… But it was more like brunch to me this morning because time changed last night and I lost an hour! Hate that… I felt like I was waking up so late! Ah well, what can you do?
I was tempted to add a banana to these oats, but I [...]

My food so far today has been sort of boring — I’m still using up the same old produce, so I feel like my meals can’t be guided by my tastes but by necessity. Good thing I like the fruits and veggies I buy!
I stayed at Gary’s last night, so I had no oats this [...]

Beet Oats
Yes, that’s right. You heard me. I said beet oats.
I was lying in bed this morning, pondering the ways in which I could spice up my oats, trying to picture in my head the contents of my fridge and cupboard, when it hit me.
Beets are good in brownies; why not put them in oats?
This was [...]

Monkeys like oatmeal
Look who wanted to eat my oatmeal this morning! Nelson!
It’s because I put peanut butter in it. Random fact: over here peanuts in the shell are called monkey nuts. Maybe because they look so squirrelly? I don’t know. I thought peanuts were supposed to be more of an elephant thing.

Back to Normal
Yep, I had my normal bowl of oatmeal this morning. If I had had banana bread left to top it with, I would have… but I finished it off before bed last night.
1/2 cup oats
sprinkling coconut
tad bit agave
T peanut butter
2 tsp flax
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup rice milk
Yum. Have you noticed I use the [...]

Mixed Up Oatmeal
As promised, I made an effort to mix things up a bit.
1/2 cup oats
2 T flax
2 tsp coconut
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup rice milk
crumbled up banana bread
Gasp! No peanut butter. That was hard for me, but now I feel so adventurous…
