Hi, guys! What a beautiful morning! 
Murphy and I just returned from a longer-than-usual morning walk. Typically, we walk for about 10-15 minutes in the morning, just so he can do his “business.” But, today, we did an extra loop around the block and walked for close to 25 minutes. It was so nice to enjoy the sunshine, hear the birds chirp, and breath crisp, fresh air. I think we both wanted to keep walking, but I needed to get home and start my day.
Breakfast
Mal needed to be at school early this morning, so I was on my own with breakfast. I made myself a big, creamy batch of pumpkin oatmeal.
In the mix:
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup spelt flakes
- 1/2 cup vanilla hemp milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 scoops of Nuttzo
- Granola
Nuttzo was easily the star ingredient of this morning’s breakfast. (The company sent me a jar to sample the other day.) I’ve never tasted (or even heard of) a nut butter like it.
Nuttzo is a “omega 3 multi-nut butter” made with peanuts, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, and flaxseeds. I love that it’s a blend of all of those healthy nuts and seeds– and it’s really delicious! 😀
The flavor it sort of hard to describe– it just tastes like nuts! I guess the peanut and flaxseed (or maybe sunflower seed) flavors come through strongest for me. The consistency is thick and chunky with pieces of nuts and seeds throughout. I’m a big fan!
I always thought that banana oats were my favorite, but maybe it’s pumpkin now?
To drink, I had a mixture of iced coffee, non-fat milk, and chocolate-flavored Amazing Grass.

Do you associate food with love? Why or why not?
