just oats

Please excuse this extremely short post!  I was super busy today searching and applying to jobs and finishing up the “ingredients” tab. 

We had another beautiful sunny day but I stayed inside for a change.  I had a lot to get done!

How convenient!  I pulled out a Cooks magazine and it had sweet potaters on the cover!

I really loved the sweet potatoes in the oats.  It made them even creamier than when pumpkin is added.  I used carton egg whites that are organic, free-range.  It definitely had a different consistency when poured out and when cooked in the oats.  I hate wasting all of the yolks but once this carton is done I think I’ll go back to using the fresh eggs.  The consistency + taste are better.

However, this bowl was completely delicious :)
