The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband. I may have to show it to you later. :)
Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around.
Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine. It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit. Dude. I am so bummed about these lame nectarines. From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY.
The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped in banana slices.
- 1/2 cup whole rolled oats
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 tbsp ground Salba (or chia seeds)
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 3-4 drops NuNaturals liquid vanilla stevia
I added the boiling water to the oats, coconut flour, and Salba and let it sit for a while. Once the oats and flour had cooked a bit and the Salba gelled up, I mixed in the raisins and stevia and added it to the fridge to chill overnight.
In the morning I topped it with banana slices and a scoop of coconut peanut butter. It was like a thick cakey pudding. And even though I hate using the “m” word, it was that too. I need an alternate word choice…every synonym sounds equally dirty.
Before I hit the road I packed my work dinner and snacks. I also had a quick meal. Toast and eggless egg salad (x2). And a bowl of green grapes.
It was pretty hot outside, so I left a little bit early to allow myself time to clean up after biking to the hospital.
The basis of my salad was sesame sticks. There may have been some veggies and seitan under there somewhere.
I had hummus and bread a la mode. And the rest of the usual snacks were on standby in my locker.
I had a relatively decent night. One crazy patient was evened out by two less crazy patients. As I rode my bike home, all I could think about was bed…
And then I saw Kyle’s note asking me to make him rice before I went to work the next day. It doesn’t get cuter than this folks.
That is so, so cute!!! And another delicious looking oats recipe. I can’t stand the M word either!!! I actually google synonyms to see if the world had something to offer that my brain didn’t. No such luck. Ew.
That is so freaking cute.
Chris makes better rice AND Mac n Cheese than I do. Maybe next time I’ll ask him that nicely. 🙂
Your husband is adorable! What a cute poem. Did he get his rice?
I am on nights this week as well. Just enjoying my night off until tomorrow night!
I love Kyle. And you.
Adorable. You should get him a rice cooker! Then he can have rice waiting for you when you get home! 😉
Bah so cute, totally adorable. Gag. 🙂 Hide yo hummus, hide yo husband (doesn’t have as much of a ring as Antoine Dodson’s version, sorry).
hahaha your husband is hilarious. hahahahahahahahahaha
This might be a stupid question, but what exactly is Salba? How is it different from chia?
Hahaha I love your husband’s poem, so cute!
That note is awesome! 🙂 I wish you could just come and pack my lunch for me! Lol.
Awwwwwwww!
That was incredibly CUTE!
Oh, and I believe I’m a little late, but… I absolutely LOVED the new layout! So… you!
😀
Have a great week, Elise!
xoxo
hahah that’s awesome.
Aww, I love Kyle! Cheese ball poetry is my favorite. Reminds me of 3rd graders. 😉
Very cute.
I went on thesaurus.com to try to find you a better word. You’re right, there aren’t any! It suggested sweaty and mucid. Haha!
Loved Kyle’s poem the best! My hubby still writes poems for me every once in a while — after 30 years of marriage! And your overnight cold oats bowls are lookin’ REALLY good to me!!
aww that note is so adorable!
your oats look yummy. I haven’t eaten oats in so long…been busy packing and a moving.
Wow, I love your oatmeal creations. That looks fantastic!!
Aww! That is SO sweet! I’m a total sucker for cute cheesiness!
Your oats sound fantastic…and holy fiber! How about calling them “humid”? Haha!
too cute 😉
hopefully my soon to be husband will leave me little poems
Aaaah…that poem is so cute! 🙂 And those oats look ridiculously divine, I must go and make some now 🙂 *scurries to the kitchen*. you are queen of amazing out pudding recipes, Elise! And you inspired me to try Jillian’s Yoga Meltdown today with your infectious enthusiasm for her – and OMG it was such an amazing workout, I did levels 1 & 2 back to back and was shaking and drenched in sweat. Wowza! 😀 Thanks for the oat and workout inspiration! <3 xyx
He gets the cutest husband of the year award! That’s soooo sweet. I hope I can find a guy that will do cute, spontaneous stuff like that. I cannot imagine my dad ever doing anything like that.
oh my gosh, that poem! so cute!!!
oh my goodness! that poem is so cute!
sorry about the double comment, it was acting weird! hehe 😉
His note wins… cutest thing ever <3 I'd make a butt load of things if I was asked like that!!
awwwww ~ that is the cutest note and poem ever! I was totally going to tell you I LOVED your title but then it got even better when I saw the poem…..so sweet!
Miss ya but can’t wait to see you at Foodbuzz Fest this year!
