Savory Bowl

on February 15, 2012
in All Posts

Good morning!

IMG_6887

Alright – you’re going to have to trust me on this one.  Have you ever made savory oatmeal?  I know it sounds a bit strange, but savory (or spicy!) oatmeal is so delicious, and it’s a really nice break from the traditionally sweetened version. 

 

Trust me.

On the stovetop:

 

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup soy mik

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup packed shredded raw spinach

Salt and pepper

 

I scooped the mixture into a bowl and topped it off with a scrambled egg and roasted pumpkin seeds.

Perfect!

Three Random Questions

 

What are you wearing?

What are you doing today?

What did you dream about last night?

 

My answers:  I’m still wearing pajamas (oh, the joys of working from home) – a red shirt and maternity sweatpants.  I need to get some writing and research done, and then we’re going to the OB/GYN for a baby appointment.  I dreamt that my college (University of Pittsburgh) was surrounded by a moat, and I was doing a triathlon in the moat, but after the swim leg, I had to run from station to station and answer all these trivia questions and brainteasers.  Weird.

    Cute idea!
    I am wearing grey dress pants, a long-sleeve grey shirt and a sweater vest (oh how I love sweater vests! hehe). I am up crazy early to head to school where I am a student teacher 🙂 I dreamt about my lessons for today…lessons, lessons, lessons!
    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

  • Megan E. February 15, 2012, 9:14 am

    Good morning!

    I am wearing sweatpants and a pajama top – just got back from a 2 mile walk in the snow with my dog!

    Today I am picking my boyfriend up from the airport. Haven’t seen hum for 6 weeks 😀

    Last night I dreamt I was making fudge with Mr. Carson from Downton Abbey. He encouraged me to add glitter coconut extract..and I did! (Weird).

    • Gina @ Running to the Kitchen February 15, 2012, 9:20 am

      I love Carson!

      • Megan E. February 15, 2012, 7:00 pm

        I love him too!!!

    • Katie Jo February 15, 2012, 12:44 pm

      That’s the best dream ever!

      • Megan E. February 15, 2012, 7:00 pm

        It was pretty great 🙂

  • Alex @ Raw Recovery February 15, 2012, 9:14 am

    I am wearing yoga pants and an oversized hoodie I got yesterday from the yoga studio I go to (they had an amazing special- a hoodie for $7!!!). Today I have a paper to finish before I go out of town on Friday. Also might get a tattoo…

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:38 pm

      Did you get a tat?

  • Claire @ Live and Love to Eat February 15, 2012, 9:16 am

    Hail to Pitt! 😉

    I’ve yet to try savory oats.

  • Cassie @ Back to Her Roots February 15, 2012, 9:18 am

    I’m wear black leggings, a blue and white polka dot dress, a cream cardigan, brown belt and the brown blogger boots from Payless!

    Today, I am working, then off to dog training class, then homework, blogging and freelance.

    After the four beers I had with Valentine’s Day dinner, I had a dreamless sleep (or at the very least, a rememberless sleep).

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:38 pm

      Hahah brown blogger boots – they are so cute. I love my pair!

  • Gina @ Running to the Kitchen February 15, 2012, 9:19 am

    Still in pajamas (work from home too :)), just a normal work day with a lunch time workout and for some reason I can’t remember my dreams at all now! I know I had them but they obviously weren’t memorable.

  • kathleen @ the daily crumb February 15, 2012, 9:19 am

    savory oatmeal is on my to do list… a little intimidating, and out of my sweet breakfast comfort zone, but seeing the deliciousness of the blog world’s versions is making me want to try!

  • Megan S February 15, 2012, 9:20 am

    Wow, I’m impressed with how many people are already dressed! Here on the West Coast I’m wearing a cup of coffee and a towel. Today I’m going to work at my job in locked psychiatric care and last night I dreamt about nothing because I had a couple glasses of wine. Happy Wednesday!

  • Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat February 15, 2012, 9:20 am

    I haven’t tried savoury oats before, but I am definitely intrigued!
    Wearing: skinny jeans, black boots, a purple long-ish button up top with a belted waist.
    What I’m doing: Just taught a spin class, working, then home for dinner, a bit of blogging, and an early night (and yes, I’m super excited about that part!)
    Dreams: I can’t remember! But on Monday night I do remember having a totally bizarre dream about coming into work and finding one of my co-workers sleeping on my desk. Very strange!

  • Liz @ Tip Top Shape February 15, 2012, 9:25 am

    I’ve never tried savory oatmeal, but I can imagine it would be delicious. On to the questions!

    What am I wearing? My PJs. Although, I should really, really change soon!

    What am I doing: Well, obviously reading blogs. Also drinking pumpkin spice coffee and wondering what I can take to work for lunch.

    Dream: None last night. But–night before last I did have a dream that I was best friends with Jonathan Groff (Jesse St. James from Glee). Perfect V-Day gift to myself 😀

  • Kris February 15, 2012, 9:27 am

    I’m wearing my walk the dog at 6:00 a.m. outfit — tshirt, heavy cardie, skinny jeans and loafers. Def not my outfit for the day since it’s supposed to be 80 today (Tampa Bay). I’m doing catch up in the house today, and maybe do a few errands. And, I dreamed about Fitnessista last night. Sometimes I dream about bloggers — how strange.

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:40 pm

      Jeals of your weather!

  • Sarah February 15, 2012, 9:32 am

    I am wearing yoga pants/t-shirt, I am taking an exam and going to lab, and I dreamt about spinal cord tracts (all of the late night studying!)… oh the joys of grad school?

  • Lisa February 15, 2012, 9:32 am

    I looooooooove savory oatmeal so much more than sweet! I usually use steel cut oats and add an over-medium egg, hot sauce or salsa, almonds, and nutritional yeast. Yummmmm.

    I’m wearing business casual, am working today and doing homework tonight, and dreamt about my hot crush last night (and every night!).

  • Katie @ Soulshine and Sassafras February 15, 2012, 9:34 am

    I learned about savory oatmeal on this site, and it is soooo good. Everyone should try it.

    I’m wearing the clothes I wore last night, since I slept over at my best friend’s house after a singles Valentine’s night of rom-coms, pizza, and 2 bottles of wine. Jeans, burgundy shirt, brown/coppery patterned scarf.

    Working (I’m a dog walker), laundry, and speed-reading Ender’s Game for my book club meeting on Saturday.

    Dreamed I took my family to Japan (which I visited last year) and was impressing them with the 10 Japanese phrases I know.

  • Cassidy Hogan February 15, 2012, 9:36 am

    Love savory oats! I always substitute oatmeal for brown rice. It has a better texture and seems to be more filling.

  • Rachel February 15, 2012, 9:37 am

    Wearing: A grey wool skirt, light gray tights, snow boots (Vermont business casual), a fancy t-shirt, and a cardigan.

    Doing: Working – I have motions to write this morning, and seven hearings this afternoon (I’m an attorney).

    Dreaming: Last night I dreamt about arguing with an ex-boyfriend (yikes).

  • Maren February 15, 2012, 9:42 am

    1. a flower in my hair 🙂
    2. Have to go into work late today, so I’m just relaxing on the internet!
    3. I had a dream last night that I had a 2 month old baby that was the size of a 4 year old. It was so weird…and I remember my cat being chased by a mouse. NyQuil does weird things to the sleeping brain!

  • Katie @ Peace Love & Oats February 15, 2012, 9:49 am

    I LOVE savory oats! Although I usually make them for lunch or dinner! Today I have class from 8:30 to 1:25 and then home for lunch, and then a 6 mile tempo run later!

  • Scarlett February 15, 2012, 9:49 am

    I love these little quizzes. 🙂

    I’m wearing a comfortable tank top and nike shorts (this is just my version of comfortable house clothes after I’ve showered)

    Today I’m going to take a Portuguese test for grad school and reading a book for a seminar class tomorrow.

    Last night I dreamed my grad school friends came with me to my (now deceased) great grandmother’s house where she cooked a holiday dinner. On the way home, we wrecked the car in the middle of nowhere TN and then proceeded to be shipwrecked somehow. Then, we had to get on an escape boat with all my other friends from grad school and undergrad. Then I woke up to my alarm telling me to go to the gym. So. weird.

    Have a good day!

  • Meg February 15, 2012, 9:52 am

    My jacket still even though I am inside, it’s just still cold! Today I’m working and running 5 miles of intervals for half-marathon training and getting my house cleaning under control! And last night, I actually just remembered a few minutes ago, I had a dream that I cut my own bangs. Of course they didn’t look good. Silly!

  • MichelleC February 15, 2012, 9:55 am

    Right now I am wearing grey sweats and a pink sweatshirt. I staying home from work for a few hours, but soon will put on clothes for work. So later I am obviously going to work and I have to work late for an event. I don’t remember any dreams from last night. I only sometimes remember them.

  • Tammy Root February 15, 2012, 9:55 am

    Hi Caitlin!
    I, too am in my PJ’s — black sweat pants and a pink shirt. Working from home is great. On the agenda today is just work, work, work, and dinner out with my hubby tonight for a belated V-Day. As far as my dreams go, I do not remember last nights dreams, but ironically I had a dream about you a few nights ago!! It was strange. We went out for a nice vegetarian lunch and the waitress brought us our food but they also brought us like 2 pounds of raw meat! You didn’t want to throw it away because the animals had already been sacrificed so it would seem a waste to do so. The restaurant we were at had apartments you could get to from the inside and all the apartments had those mail slots in the door (the ones you see in offices sometimes), so you took the raw meat and dumped in one of the mail slots in someone’s apartment thinking whoever lived there would be grateful! Well, 4 HUGE rough looking guys came out and you took off running like a bat out of hell! I played dumb like I had no clue what had just happened. That was it. haha!

    Switching gears, don’t you just love OB appointments?? I do, because I love to see the baby in action. Will you be getting an ultrasound?

    I received the childbirth book you recommended. I am going to start reading that today or tomorrow.

    Oh, and I wanted to ask you — do you have any recommendations for other good pregnancy blogs?

    Have a great day!

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:41 pm

      Tammy that is an awesome dream. I LOVE IT LOL!!!

      We didn’t get an ultrasound, but we got to hear the heart beat 🙂

      The only real pregnancy blog that I read is prebabyblog.com. She has interesting opinions! She just had her baby.

  • Nikole February 15, 2012, 9:57 am

    I love savory oats. My husband and mother in law think it is so gross. I actually make my egg over easy and mix it all in and top with hot sauce. I try to explain it is like grits or hashbrowns with eggs…they just don’t get it. I am not a big sweets person for breakfast so it is a great choice.

    I am working from home and so I am in grey maternity sweats and a pink maternity top (26 weeks).
    Today I am working from home since I am on a week of modified bed rest due to a bad bout of the flu.
    I dreamed last night that when my baby was born it was a little girl. We are having a boy and had that confirmed twice now. I was freaked out since the room is done and everything is pretty boy. Ah the fun of pregnancy dreams 🙂

  • Khushboo February 15, 2012, 9:58 am

    I trust you- savory oats are delicious! I’m in pjs too but in my defense, it’s 8.30 pm here :)! As for what I’m doing today, watching tv and then sleeping…am oddly excited about the remainder of my day!

  • Anne Weber-Falk February 15, 2012, 9:58 am

    Nice top and black comfy pants. I’m sick and still have to lead a water class at 10:30 so I need to be comfortable in order to stay relaxed.

    Gotta go shop for a few necessities, tissues and Carmex! Then I get the house to myself for a bit as the gang went to the Chicago Auto Show today. Yay!

    I don’t remember what I dreamed last night. I was in a green Nyquil coma.

  • Sarah T. February 15, 2012, 9:59 am

    Army green pants, green and black tshirt and denim jacket, with black heels. I’ll be at work all day (with a lunch break to go to a professional development lunch), then it’s home to hang and play with my hubs and daughter. I can’t remember any dreams from last night!

  • Cindy February 15, 2012, 10:04 am

    I am wearing a black short sleeved oversized DKNY top and jeggings (they are so comfy!) and high black leather boots.

    I am attempting to get some work done on my PhD and hopefully getting my blog back up and running.

    I had fragmented dreams last night but I am fairly sure that my dachshund (from my childhood) and my mum were in it. 🙁

  • Lindsey February 15, 2012, 10:04 am

    I still cannot bring myself to try savory oats… I know everyone says they are delicious and they probably are but I can’t do it, yet!
    I am wearing running tights, and a grey sweater dress. I am about to go work, tonight I have to do set up a event I am running then hopefully after supper will get to the pool 🙂

  • eliza February 15, 2012, 10:06 am

    Savory oats are so good. I like adding hot sauce too.

    I had a dream I had a baby last night!! It was a little boy and he was sooo perfect 🙂

  • veronica February 15, 2012, 10:28 am

    Just coming off your great post about stalking and domestic abuse, I’m curious about your thoughts on this.

    http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/does-peta-ad-featuring-young-pantsless-woman-neckbrace-222920818.html

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:42 pm

      Ugh. PETA is so embarrassing and inappropriate. That’s all I have to say about that! What do you think?

  • Ashley @ This Is The Place February 15, 2012, 10:29 am

    PJ’s here too – sweatpants and the husband’s t-shirt. And slippers. Joys of working from home!

    Researching and writing some motions for a gang-related case that’s going to trial this year.

    No dreams last night. Well, the husband said I was talking in my sleep, so I was probably dreaming but I don’t remember it.

  • Rebecca February 15, 2012, 10:33 am

    Wearing jeans and a school shirt.
    Had a Spanish test this morning (7:40) and now I have four hours until I have to get to my other class. Going to do laundry and homework and possibly take a nap. After my afternoon class, I’ll probably do more homework and watch TV.
    I don’t really remember my dreams. This is funny, because before we went to sleep last night, my roommate and I were talking about dreams! She’s been having some weird/creepy ones lately, apparently. I rarely remember my dreams. Not sure if that’s good or bad.

  • Alexandra February 15, 2012, 10:34 am

    I’m wearing sweat pants and a pajama top. Studying at home, class, then more studying at the library (joys of university). I dreamt that people could see when you searched them on Facebook… How strange! But actually… is this possible? heh

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:43 pm

      I HOPE NOT!!!!!

  • Kari @ human, MD February 15, 2012, 10:35 am

    Also still in the PJ’s. Day off in the middle of the week = awesome.

    Going to Starbucks to finish an application, work on a book chapter, finish some charts, and drink lots of delicious coffee.

    I know I had a dream, but I don’t remember what it was about… hate when that happens.

  • Lu February 15, 2012, 10:35 am

    Khakis, White Button Down blouse, lime green sweater.

    I’m working today.

    I had a dream I was late for a meeting so I had to run there. It took forever!

    I love savory oats. My favorite combo is avocado, egg and hot sauce. Yum!

  • Janelle February 15, 2012, 10:36 am

    I’ve never been pregnant so I’m curious: are you pregnant in your dreams?

    That oatmeal looks fabulous. I’d probably do a dippy egg and let the yolk run all over and mix in with the oatmeal. Yum!

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:44 pm

      I am not pregnant in my dreams! Never thought of that.

  • colleens February 15, 2012, 10:42 am

    black pants with a red sweater, “working” at my day job, I actually don’t think I had any dreams last night.

  • Kaitlyn February 15, 2012, 10:43 am

    I am wearing jeans, a beanie, and my favorite fleece. After the plumber leaves this morning I am heading to the archives to do research for three hours, then back to my office for student appointments, and class 3-6. Busy day today. Glad I started it with yoga and I can’t wait to finish with a glass of wine.

  • Poptartyogini February 15, 2012, 10:51 am

    A black hoodie with a grey t shirt and purple tank top, jeans and my winter crocs (so embarassing).

    Work, yoga, couch

    Last night I dreamed about my cousin. The details are hazy. Right now I’m dreaming about winning the lotto and going to the beach. This is quite vivid

  • Corrie Anne February 15, 2012, 11:00 am

    Brown jcrew dress & white polka dot tights.
    I’m at my desk “working.” Gym later & unpacking after being gone for a long weekend.
    I was dreaming about kettlebell workouts. Seriously. Lol.

  • Amelia February 15, 2012, 11:01 am

    I haven’t tried savory oats yet, but I imagine they would taste a lot like brown rice topped with egg/ cheese/ etc.

    I am currently in my sweaty gym clothes and need to take a shower. Procrastinate much?
    I plan to continue job hunting today (recent grad), bake banana bread, go for a walk, blog, dinner, the usual.

    No dreams last night that I can remember.

  • Laura February 15, 2012, 11:11 am

    Navy trousers, blue cami, grey cardigan. (work clothes)

    Today I am teaching my students prepositions in Spanish, but first I am teaching them what they are in English.

    I don’t remember my dreams from last night 🙁

  • Kim L. February 15, 2012, 11:14 am

    I am wearing gray jeans, black tank and a long black sweater and I am at work (taking a break to read my favorite blogs). I can’t remember my dreams from last night but the night before I had a dream that I had a baby. My real ‘babies’ are 16 and 19, so I am not sure how to interpret this dream : )

  • Anna February 15, 2012, 11:14 am

    I’m wearing moccasins, dark flared jeans, a white/pink striped sweater, and gray jacket. Quite pleased with it, if I do say so myself 🙂 Today I have classes and then a social at an Ethiopian restaurant (so excited!). Hmph, I can’t remember any of my dreams from last night!

  • Katie@RunBakeFun February 15, 2012, 11:16 am

    hmmm.. those savoury oats look delicious!! I’m intrigued 😛

    wearing : blue jeans, royal blue long-sleeved thermo top(brrrr), dark grey cardi and black boots.
    doing: leaving for work in a bit..yay 😉
    dreamt: random stuff about victorian poisoning and shooting, cos of a book I’m reading.

  • Kristen@Change of Pace February 15, 2012, 11:17 am

    I just don’t know about that oatmeal bowl! I don’t usually like oatmeal because I like it so unhealthy with sugar and butter. Maybe this would work instead… I’m wearing gym clothes. I’ve been up since 6, eaten breakfast, been to the gym, have one kid at school, one kid napping, and now I’m getting ready to make lunch. All before 11 🙂

  • Jen February 15, 2012, 11:20 am

    I’m waring Nike pants and a sweatshirt called a Hoodie Buddy with built in headphones. I’m sitting at my desk reading blogs and pumping my boobs so my beautiful baby will have food tomorrow!

    • Caitlin February 15, 2012, 8:44 pm

      Hahah awesome comment.

  • Coco February 15, 2012, 11:27 am

    I’m wearing grey dress pants, black flats, a blue/black/white floral cardigan, and cute lacy underwear (it makes me feel pretty even though no one else can see!).

    Today I am working until 7pm, which is a bummer, but it’s a slow day so I’m obviously working hard right now by commenting on your blog.

    Last night, I honestly can’t remember my dreams–I passed out cold after a decadent Valentine’s Day meal!

  • Meghan @ CarmanClan February 15, 2012, 11:27 am

    I’m rocking shorts with paint on them and a hot pink maternity shirt. I am currently trying to stay busy with getting our tax stuff together, checking the pool at our new house to see if it was cleaned yet/has any problems, walking 2 miles, bouncing on my ball, hoping to go into labor, cooking hubby dinner. Last night I dreamed about the summer camp I used to work at and was there with two of my best friends and the fall trees looked gorgeous.

  • Melissa @TryingtoHeal February 15, 2012, 11:27 am

    Haha, very random questions indeed! I’m wearing running shorts, tank top and bikini top. Today I’m getting my hair trimmed and going surfing. And last night I dreamt my bf proposed (wishful thinking!)

  • Rachel February 15, 2012, 11:36 am

    Y’all are making me jealous, with the PJs and the sweatpants! I’m in work clothes: jeans, sweater, flats (thank goodness for business casual!).

    Today I’m going to conquer my To-Do lists at work and at home. I WILL DO IT.

    I can’t remember my dream from last night, but I woke up really irritated for no apparent reason. Must’ve been an irritating dream!

  • Caroline H. February 15, 2012, 11:38 am

    I haven’t tried savory oats but yours look delicious!

    I am wearing jeans, grey sweater, and red puffer vest. (So grateful that I work in a laid back office!)

    Working today and then going to Slow Flow yoga class with my husband. I was able to convert him. Win win!

    And last I had a dream that…get ready…I had hot dogs growing out of my legs. I don’t know if it was the combo of valentines day chocolate & wine or the fact that I am running my first half this week and I’m worried if my legs can carry me but this was the absolute weirdest dream that I have had in a long time. Perhaps ever.

  • Bethany February 15, 2012, 11:40 am

    Weating a tan linen dress with black flats and a black sweater.

    Working (as I do every day) at my corporate office. After work my son has basketball camp.

    No dreams last night.

    Enjoy your baby appt!

  • Laura February 15, 2012, 11:56 am

    Wearing – black cardigan, pink silk tank top, grey patterned skirt, black textured tights, and worn out black flats – I decided to dress up for work today 🙂 Oh, and my pearls :):)

    Today – work then a date with the pool then a date with the couch to watch netflix. The husband will hate the movie I got so he may or may not join me.

    Dream – I very rarely remember what I dream anymore. Lately the ones I can remember have either been about work (ugh) or about random bloggers (I promise I’m not a creep).

  • Amy@ahealthyandhappyheart February 15, 2012, 11:59 am

    Have fun at your baby appointment!

    1. Maternity pants and a long sleeved shirt.
    2. Today I am teaching my kindergarteners..yoga and laundry!
    3. I had a dream that someone took down the rainbow of hands in my classroom..It’s still here!

    P.S. I just found out you went to the University of Pitt.. My husband and I live about 15 minutes from downtown!

  • Erin February 15, 2012, 12:07 pm

    I’ve never thought of making savory oatmeal & so gonna try it soon!

    Wearing work clothes: brown dress pants, a brown shirt, & tan cardigan (funny thing too, everyone in our office suit is wearing brown & tan today)

    Today working (on lunch break now) later going to meet up with some friends for a little bowling

    Dreamt about fairies last night. That’s all I remember about it.

  • Laura @ She Eats Well February 15, 2012, 12:11 pm

    So weird! I was just thinking about savory oats this morning. I’ve been making an oatmeal pancake every morning lately, but savory oats would be the perfect way to spice things up!

  • Cristina February 15, 2012, 12:14 pm

    I used to work at a breakfast restaurant, and this one customer would always order oatmeal with a poached egg (and add the egg to the oatmeal). Your savory oatmeal looks good to me!

    I am still wearing my yoga outfit from this morning, I am working today (hopefully being very productive!), and last night I dreamt that I was a sister wife (I just read a book about polygamy).

  • Stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction February 15, 2012, 12:15 pm

    1) I’m wearing a turtle neck, black pants and boots.
    2)Today I’m working until 5:30
    3) I don’t remember my dream!

  • Regina February 15, 2012, 12:23 pm

    Savory oatmeal is awesome. I like it topped with a pat of butter. Or butter and a sunny-side-up egg. 🙂

  • Linz @ ItzLinz February 15, 2012, 12:30 pm

    that bowl looks SO good! will definitely have to try! wearing – a black dress with leggings and boots. dreams – none. plans – teaching third graders like i do everyday. 🙂

  • Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife February 15, 2012, 12:34 pm

    Never had savory oats….it scares me. For reals.

    But I might have to try it, eventually. Hehe

  • Emily @ The Swallow Flies February 15, 2012, 12:37 pm

    Wearing: pants that are way too big – yay, weight loss – and a cute purple top and super cute Stella & Dot jewels.

    Doing: teaching the youth of America!

    Dreamt: slept so soundly I can’t remember!

  • faith February 15, 2012, 12:51 pm

    Yes to savory oats! Add nutritional yeast (and a little extra liquid) to the oats next time. Trust me on this! 😉

  • marci February 15, 2012, 12:54 pm

    I just posted about savory oatmeal on Monday. Fun to try something different! http://www.marcigilbert.com/2012/02/13/savory-oatmeal/

    Some gray dress pants with a blue top from Kohl’s… super comfy for office wear!

    Today I’m working and then heading home to relax for the evening. Yay for nights with no plans. I hope to catch up on some blogs, stretch, maybe some better than nothing fitness… oh and I want to go buy a foam roller!

    No dreams that I remember.

    I’m wearing jeans, a blazer, and sparkly Toms.
    Today I am working 9-5 (what a way to make a livinggggg).
    My dreaming got interupted by my Dad waking me up for a 3 mile run so I forgot what I was dreaming about!

    Not sure if I could do savory oats. Sounds kind of weird!

    Haven’t had savory oats before, but it does sound delicious.

    Wearing: Yoga pants, yoga top, and a Whistler winter jacket.

    Doing: At work, avoiding the pile of paperwork to be filed 🙂

    Dreamt: I was being chased by the Mtn View police department because I was out of fashion style. For some reason, an old friend (now fashion blogger) was predominantly in the dream as well.

    I am having the most bizarre pregnancy dreams! Last night I dreamed that my husband was elected governor, and the Obamas came over, and Michelle gave birth to a litter of ferrets on our bed. Whaaaat?

    this is SO weird because i was going to ask you about dreams this morning after my crazy dream last night. i continuously dream about high school people (those i’m no longer friends with). what does this mean?????

    I’m freezing so I’m wearing knee socks, shorts, a sweater, blankets on my lap and a robe. With the heater cranked up and pointed directly at me. <–wuss

    I'm stranded at home today with no vehicle, so I'm thinking I should do something productive like clean instead of just being on the Internet all day long. We'll see!

    i have had savory oats! i just had plain oatmeal with a fried egg and it was so good!

  • Jennifer February 15, 2012, 2:43 pm

    I hate sweet things for breakfast, and eat savory oats almost every morning! I usually include salsa and cheese in mine, and sometimes hummus! I love it!

    Well…the city of Pittsburgh is surrounded by rivers, which is kinda like a moat (and you can do a triathlon in the Allegheny!)

    Also, navigating your way through the city is definitely a brainteaser.

    Not such a weird dream, after all!

  • Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) February 15, 2012, 3:18 pm

    I either did not dream last night or don’t remember!

    I am wearing maternity skinny leg jeans (they are actually cute! gotten many compliments on them), brown tshirt and a purple long sleeve cardigan thing overtop. Also wearing a brown/purple head band b/c I am too lazy to wash my hair.

    I worked until 12:30 today (got off 3 hrs early!) and now I am just taking advantage of the quiet and elevating my swollen preggo ankles.

  • Lisa (bakebikeblog) February 15, 2012, 4:01 pm

    Tasty breakfast!
    What are you wearing? A work dress.
    What are you doing today? At work – my second last day before I start maternity leave!
    What did you dream about last night? I cant remember!

  • Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) February 15, 2012, 6:48 pm

    I have been wanting to try savoury oatmeal for years but have been too scared. I think tomorrow will be the day!

  • Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin February 15, 2012, 9:21 pm

    I love savoury oatmeal! I have mine with spinach and egg too. And I also like to add avocado and nutritional yeast. 😀

  • Dana @ the Big Fat Skinny February 16, 2012, 12:54 pm

    I’m wearing a grey and navy striped cardi, with a white maternity tank, and jeans. Also sporting a nice sized, almost 7 month old bump! 🙂 This morning a I have PTA meeting at my daughters school, and we’ll be counting out snack bags for the 100th day of school (each kid gets a baggie of 10 pieces of 10 healthy snacks – adding up to 100 pieces/bag, that they can count out and eat at the 100th day of school celebration). Last night I had a CRAZY pregnancy-hormone induced dream that there were 3 holes in my wall that had dog-sized rats living in them. There were 2 people with me, one was my dad, but I can’t remember the other, and we were trying to get out of the house but couldn’t because the rats were trying to bite us or something crazy like that. Ugh … pregnant dreams are SO weird!

    What are you doing today?

    What did you dream about last night?
