  • jana’s breakfast of champions

    –1/3 c. Irish Steel-Cut Oats, cook (the kind that come in a can and take half an hour to cook)
    –1/3 c. Trader Joe’s lowfat organic vanilla yogurt (yah, it’d probably be tastier w/creamline, but I’ve gotta watch the calories)
    –one peeled, diced, fresh peach (a nectarine will do, too)
    –a handful of sliced almonds
    –a splash of Cannon vanilla (top secret family recipe that involves vanilla beans imported from Tahiti that ferment in dark bottles in the back of the spice cupboard)
    –a dash of hand-grated nutmeg

    Stir.
    Throw your head back and chew in ecstasy.
    If you’re really lucky–like I was this morning–you will get a shoulder massage while eating. If so, make deep sighs of satisfaction and swear to start every morning just the same way.
    :)
    PS: If you’re eating this for dessert, as I am wont to do, you can increase the vanilla splash to a TB or 2….

    freecycle.org is the coolest group ever…
    Our family has been blessed in numerous ways by this group–we’ve gained a bookshelf, a mountain bike, some dishes, and even a garden statue. We’ve also given away many things that others have valued. It’s such a great way to share and receive the abundance of this world!
