Today I didn’t something that I haven’t done it a long time, something that has been long overdue! And I am so happy to say that I am back at it!
I put my sneakers back on and went for a walk and can I tell you I wasn’t the only happy camper, the dogs were thrilled! Unfortunately, I haven’t kept up with my running schedule since the girls have gone back to school and I miss it terribly. I’ve decided to put it on hold until the spring since I really can’t give it 100%. Bummer…but I have re-committed myself to getting in a workout everyday. No excuses!!! lol
After my walk I was greeted with Kailey and her patriotic breakfast!
Now if I can only get my youngest to eat like this, I would be one proud Mom!
This morning I was in the mood for something warm and soothing so I made up a batch of Apple Cider Steel Cut Oats.
I forgot to add the apple cider for this pic, what a dope!
On the stove bring 3 cups of apple cider to a slight boil and add 1 cup steel cut oats, 1 chopped apple and 1 chopped pear.
Add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
and 1/2 tsp of pure maple syrup
Cover and cook on low for about 15-20 minutes.
Scoop some out
add some walnuts and enjoy!
My house smells like one huge apple pie! Mmmmmm
I can’t wait to re-heat some of this up in the morning, it’s a perfect way to start the day!!
You can actually prepare this the night before and cook it in a crock pot on low, now that’s something to wake up to!
Yay on the walk. And that oatmeal sounds great.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for getting those sneakers back on. Even if the running has to be on hold, it's good to get the exercise. I bet the dog was extremely happy about it!
ReplyDeleteI am not a huge oatmeal fan, but I can almost smell the apples all the way over here!! YUM.
ReplyDeleteGood for you getting back out there! The hardest thing is getting back into the swing of things. Oh and can I just say how amazing that oatmeal looks!? I'm def. picking up apple cider tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking breakfast! I need to get my butt into gear with a workout schedule...but this time of year I find it impossible!
ReplyDeleteHoly delicious oats!

How much steel oats are in this? I didn't see it in the recipe unless I'm a dunce and missed it. They look great!
ReplyDelete@Debbi, I used 1 cup of steel cut oats! :)
