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!!!

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 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
