OIAJ for Breakfast! Yay!
This morning's version of Oats in a Jar: 1/2 cup Quick
Oats cooked with 1.5 cups Water and 1/3 cup Egg Whites
Mixed with 1/2 cup Blueberries and poured into an
almost-empty jar of Maranatha Organic Smooth Peanut Butter
Topped with 1 sliced Banana and 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Carob Chips
Although I usually make my own Wild Salmon Salad
to save money, I decided to treat myself to the real deal...
Wild Salmon Salad from Planet Organic
Scooped the Salmon into a Whole Wheat Pita with some Lettuce
Who knew Omega 3's could look this good ;)
While blog reading this morning, I saw that Sara
@ Nourish and Flourish has the same 2011 Agenda!
Her Journal has different cover artwork, but we both
ironically use our books to fill with inspirational quotes!
from
also sold in select bookstores and online here
"Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin,
and a single courageous step would carry
us clear through them" - Brendan Francis
Love your oat in a jar recipe (because it includes carob!).
ReplyDeleteThat's a great quote and so true. Our fears, little or bit, unfounded or completely rational can be conquered with just a little bit of courage and a little trust in ourselves.
It's been too long since I've done OIAJ. Yours look really yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove that quote. And your hand writing is beautiful.....
I needed that quote. I love it.

ReplyDeleteThere's so much truth in Francis's quote. I'm adding it to my book now. :) xoxo
Oh man, those beautiful carob chips are making my mouth water. Love those OIAJ! Great quote, too - that's a great idea to write inspirational quotes in your (gorgeous!) journal.

ReplyDeleteI've never tried carob before, but I'm convinced that I need to pick up a bag. :)
yay yay yay! I LOVE oiaj! I can't believe how far behind I've gotten on one of my favorite blogs...not good! and now you're making me Seriously crave those oats! Everything about that combo is absolutely perfect... I LOVE IT! :)
ReplyDeleteOh carobs carobs~~how I miss theeeee!~ :) I love agendas or journals like that! many of mine have amazing quotes and verses that remind me of God's awesomeness :D
ReplyDeleteI love journals :) And those oats sound yummy!!! At first I was going to say it looked like you had mashed bananas mixed into the oats, kind of like softserve, but warm! That sounds like something fun to try.....!
ReplyDeleteMmmm nothing like bananas and chocolate/carob!! Btw your handwriting is so pretty! Random compliment but I really like people's handwriting haha :)
ReplyDeletebtw when SnackFace Kailey recently asked if you could have any blogger cook for you, who would it be- I said you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love salmon sandwiches!! I'm just bummed that I can't get Veganaise in my town, I prefer it moreso than regular mayonnaise. Can't get much better than wild salmon, celery, peppercorn, vegansise, and sea salt. Yum yum!
ReplyDeleteI've always known that you are a beautiful person inside and out...and now your handwriting just confirms that! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat salmon salad looks DELICIOUS!!

I've never had carob before but I think I might have to go out and buy! Love your OIAJ :D I've never added egg whites to my oats before, I didn't know it made that much of a difference :D
ReplyDeletei love the combination of blueberries, oats, and banana. i haven't had carob chips on their own before (only in one of my favorite gf baked goods) so i'd really like to try them. sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteIve never had carob chips but I always see them all over blogland. I must try them. I love that agenda book and quote on fear- great post! :)
