Milky Oats
Ahh, since I drank my morning coffee I’m feeling a little bit better but I really wish that it wasn’t Monday and that I could be laying in bed all day instead of at work! Oh well, you do what ya gotta do, right? Plus, in 30 days (September 10th), my 2 week-long vacation (wedding + honeymoon) will start, so I just have to keep looking ahead to that!
I started off the morning with something unusual for me… milky oats… 
I usually never add milk to my oatmeal, but when I made my oats they were ultra-steamy and hot and it was the perfect thing to cool them down… I also topped them with a small handful of blueberries (trying to stretch out the remainder of the pint that is left) and mixed in some flax… All in all, a great way to start the Monday… even better if it was eaten in bed!
Mid-morning, although my breakfast held me over well, I really wanted something to warm me up and oatmeal is the perfect comfort food, especially the Quaker Lower Sugar Maple & Brown Sugar flavor… Over here, the temperature really got cool for this time of year, it’s apparently only going to hit 75 degrees, so this was a great choice for my snack & body temperature
Mmm, looove the oats!!
it’s cold in rhodey too. and rainy!
your oats look especially yummy this morning!
stay warm!
You really have something to look forward to!! A 2 week honeymoon, I am jealous – we didn’t even go on a honeymoon. I hope you are feeling better today, Happy Monday!
I love that flavor of Quaker instant – it’s my favorite
I’ve never thought to add extra milk, either. But it definitely would be a great way to cool down the oats! Nice
Great call on choosing oatmeal to warm you up! It’s a little colder down here in DC too… I’m freezing in my office!
I am feeling the same way…I might have to move on to my second cup! I’m glad you had fun at your bachelorette party!
When I was young I would only eat maplesnd sugar oatmeal! I’ve never added mill to my already cooked oats – I’ll have to try it.
the milky oats look delicious! your honeymoon is SO SOON! where are you guys going?? that is so exciting
enjoy the rest of your day!
I am sure your wedding/honeymoon will be here before you know it! Its good motiavtion to get through the next couple of weeks!

I did milky oats this morning too…completely cold. It was quite tasty. It was a bit chilly here today too. And I wanted to stay in bed SO BADLY. I think that is why I went for cold oats; I simply wasn’t willing to put forth the effort to microwave. Hope your day has gone quickly!!!
And that honeymoon is so so so close!!!!
