I didn’t realize until I sat down to blog that my entire Saturday is focused on food! There’s nothing wrong with that– I’m just pointing it out!

Of course, my morning started with a wonderful bowl of oats. 

In the mix:

• 1/2 cup dry oats
• 1/3 cup canned squash
• 5 Medjool dates, chopped
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 scoops of Barney Butter 

Oats + iced coffee… 

The next food-related activity on my Saturday agenda is a blogger/media event! How cool is that? Starbucks is hosting a tasting to try their new Tea Lattes. It looks like Starbucks is finally tapping into social media to market their products! 

After the tasting event, Mal and I are meeting our friends, Jon and Rose, for brunch/lunch. I’m not sure where we are going to eat yet, but I hope our friends pick a yummy place! I’m in the mood to try a new restaurant!

The rest of my Saturday is filled with errands, including a trip to the grocery store to buy ingredients for our Super Bowl Party. (Either Mal and I or our neighbors, Josh and Danielle, are hosting.) I have no idea what I want to make for the party, but I have really fun football-themed dishes to serve it in! 

Enjoy your Saturday, guys! I’m off to do food things!

Check out the wealth of nourishment in squash!

I never realized that squash was such a super star! I also didn’t realize that squash is a relative of both the melon and the cucumber. What a happy little family!

This morning’s breakfast was a lovely bowl of squash oats, made with TJ’s canned squash.

In the mix:

• 1/2 cup dry oats
• 1/3 cup canned squash
• 2 chopped Medjool dates
• 1/2 cup oat milk
• 2 scoops of Barney Butter

If you’re interested in learning more about oat milk, which is also a nutritional super star, please see my post from October about it.

Happy Monday, bloggies! Where the heck did the weekend go!?!
