Oatmeal

December 30, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hello Folks,

Yesterday, was such a boring day.  The weather started out nice and then the fog rolled in and stayed most of the day.  When it gets like that, I tend to get lazy.  I had all of my ambition in the morning, going to make a nice breakfast, workout, make some bread, do some chores and maybe go to Trader Joe’s for some goodies.  Well my laziness kicked in and I didn’t feel like working out, I pushed myself to make bread and I did manage to do laundry but everything else was ehhh, I’ll do it another day.  Do you ever have days like that?

However, I always make sure I have a good breakfast, no matter what!  I made a wonderful new oatmeal with Coaches Oats.  Have you ever tried Coaches Oats?  It’s so good, I like the texture of it and it fills me for hours.  I can’t complain about that, no snacking for me.  What makes this recipe different?  I added Sweet Potatoes to it.  Wow, did it really wake up my oatmeal.  I’m normally a traditional oatmeal type of person, some fruit, brown sugar and maybe some milk.  But not today, I wanted something different.

This Oatmeal was creamy, sweet and the maple syrup really added pizzazz to it!  I threw in some raisins for chewiness, and granola for crunch.  Well that not true, I love granola on everything, especially oatmeal.  he he


During my day, my dog was barking in the kitchen, so I looked out my kitchen window and saw this little face looking at me.

Then I turned around and saw this.  That cat knew!  There not stupid!  I think the neighborhood cats purposely love to antagonize my dog.  Needless to say, the cat stayed there for hours, but my dog finally gave up!

Also, I did run to the store real quick to pick up some parchment paper and I found already ripe banana’s.  I was so excited, I bought  a big bag for $2.00.  That means lots of smoothies and banana bread.  I’m totally excited over that one.  I feel like I won a mini lottery.  I have no life, but I will have bread!

Speaking of bread, I made a new recipe for whole wheat dinner rolls.  There  so good and healthy, but I’ll share that recipe with you probably tomorrow.  But for now here is my recipe for my sweet, sweet, sweet Sweet Potato Oatmeal.  You must try it.  Oh, and I bet if you don’t have sweet potato puree, pumpkin would be great too!  I used the brand “Farmers Market” Organic Sweet Potato.  Nothing added, just the sweet potato.  Perfect sweetness!

Sweet Potato Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup Coaches Oats or 1/2 Cup Regular Oatmeal

1 Cup Water

2 Tbsp.  Pureed Sweet Potatoe

2 Tbsp.  Maple Syrup (I used Mrs. Butterworth’s)

1 Tbsp.  Granola

1 Tbsp.  Raisins

Directions:

In a pot, add water.  Bring to a boil and add oatmeal.  Cook for 5 minutes or until it gets thick and water is absorbed.  Stir in Sweet Potato Puree and cook until warm, about 1 minute.

Let your Oatmeal sit for a minute to really thicken up.  Add your raisins, granola and maple syrup.  Sit back and enjoy!!

Makes one serving

Well, my Husband is waiting for me.  He put in Horrible Boss’s.  Have you ever seen that movie?  I saw it at the theater when it came out.  It is so funny, I can’t believe Jennifer Aniston plays that dirty part, I love it!  Have a great day!!

    I totally have lazy days…especially now that it’s cold. Getting out the door takes SO MUCH EFFORT. It happens.

    But at least you started off your morning right! This oatmeal sounds AWESOME!

    I’m adding Horrible Bosses to my netflix queue!

      You should see Horrible Boss’s. It’s one of those goofy type movies, but it’s so funny, everyone seems out of character, especially Collin Farrell.

    Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast, but I just love that look on the cats face. Cats are just incorrigible, aren’t they? Our neighbors cat does the same to my dog, but he’s finally learned to ignore the cat 🙂

    My oldest asked for Horrible Bosses for Christmas, so I should probably watch it…he did say it was hilarious. And I’m impressed that you made something so healthy and delicious on your lazy day…I have a feeling I would be melting chocolate and eating dough :/ Happy new year to my new foodie friend!!!

    Yikes…I have not idea if my last two comments went through, but I’ll make it an nice threesome if they did! First, I’m impressed you made something so nice and healthy on your lazy day! My lazy days seem to always involve chocolate! Second, your pup is SO cute! And last, wishing you a happy, happy new year! It’s been a pleasure to meet you and visit your wonderful blog this past month 🙂

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree. 
🍒
What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
