I use Old Fashioned Quaker Oats from the canister. To make: I use 1/2 cup of dry oats and 1 cup of water (or milk), then combine them in a large, microwavable bowl. (You can also add your goodies at this point– fruit, nuts, spices, etc.) Pop the big bowl with all of the fixings in the microwave for 2 minutes. Stir and enjoy!

I haven’t experimented with cold oats yet, but you could always try a smoothie with some oats thrown it. I think Kath (www.katheats.com) has some good oat-smoothie recipes on her blog.

Jess,

I use the amber version, which is very sweet. I actually haven’t tried the light version, but here is some info from Debra Lynn Dadd’s site:

“Agave is produced in different grades, of varying color and flavor. Light agave is flavor neutral (it adds sweetness, but no flavor of its own). Amber and Dark agaves add sweetness and a mellow flavor, much like honey and maple syrup.

To make light agave, minerals, color, and flavor are extracted, and then the nectar is cooked down to concentrate the sweetness. Amber and Dark agaves retain the natural minerals, color, and flavor of the agave.”

I didn’t know the difference either! Hope this helps!

I noticed that you use the “amber” agave nectar. I have also seen “light” agave nectar and I was wondering if you knew if there is a huge taste difference between the two or if one type is better than the other?
Thank you!

I’ve thought about adding pb puffins to my oats in the morning, now I think it’s a must next time!

Definitely a nice dinner and a glass (or 3) of wine, depending on how tired I am, I love the atmosphere at classy restaurants so going out could be an option

Happy Hump Day!

To relax, I’m with so many of the others…cooking delicious (usually including some sort of grainy bread) meals and drinking a delicious glass of wine with the honey.

To relax or vent I exercize. I run or swim super hard till I cant anymore.

I love the new picture. Very appropriate!

Also, I cannot wait for The Office premier tomorrow. It’s only the best show ever!!
