Hi friends!
I hope you are having a good week! My rotation with Meals on Wheels is off to a good start overall. I’ve also been enjoying going running in the morning and have found the sun to be very interesting lately!
As is typical, on to sharing some recent eats from the past couple of weeks to hopefully inspire you with some fresh ideas in the kitchen!
Hello friends! I hope you are having a nice week! We are getting ready to head to Florida with Alec’s side of the family on Saturday and will be there for all of next week, and then will be heading back to Michigan to go to my grandparents’ for the 4th (also will have lots of cousins/extended family there). Looking forward to the time away and all of the family time! On to some delicious eats from the past couple of weeks!
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you have been enjoying the weekend and have been able to spend some time relaxing with family and friends. I am grateful for all the Americans who have sacrificed so much for our country in the fight for freedom here and around the world. We are hoping to spend the weekend going on a hike and are planning to make some burgers topped with caramelized onions (the best burger topping!) and this potato salad. On to some delicious eats from the past couple weeks!
More overnight steel-cut oatmeal – hidden underneath all the berries is some creamy almond butter, honey, and flax seeds! I am so happy that fresh berries are back in season!
Hello! I hope you are having a nice week and enjoying the spring weather! I love this time of year with the longer amount of daylight and milder temps here in Michigan. I’ve been enjoying getting out on runs/walks and waking up earlier with it being bright out earlier. I’ve got some delicious eats to share today to hopefully inspire you in the kitchen! Also some life updates!
BREAKFAST:
Usual breakfast of oatmeal topped with nut butter (almond butter) and fruit. However, I finally switched up my oatmeal game the past couple weeks! (BIG breakfast change for me, haha). I have been making a big batch of steel-cut oatmeal once a week and reheating that throughout the week. Once a week before I go to bed, I add 2 cups of steel-cut oats, 4 cups of almond milk, 4 cups of water, and a dash of salt to my Dutch oven (any large pot will work). I then bring the mixture to a boil, let it boil for a minute or two, turn off the stove, and let it sit overnight. In the morning I give it a brief stir and it is good to go! Store leftovers in the fridge and eat cold or reheat in the microwave.
