undeniably delicious

Lightroom just got the best of me.  Adobe Lightroom.  The photo editing program I use.  It has nothing to do with the actually photo editing, but the technical side of using the program.  There are a numerous ways you can easily mess up your file system, and I seem to have done that.  Numerous ways.

Awesome.

So, while trying g-chatting with the amazing, fantastic, Laura, who was trying to help me out, I gave myself a nice big stress-induced headache.

Double awesome.

Now, what is actually awesome and not sarcastically awesome, is this breakfast.

I have gone through so many phases of what I mix into my oats, the actual oat combination, cooking method, type of oat, etc.  I’ve claimed certain things to be “the best” or “my favorite,” only to find something that is even better.

I’m not claiming this as the best.  But it’s definitely up there.

Undeniably delicious. 

Thanks to:

Fresh strawberries.

And…Cinnamon Crunch Almond Butter.

I actually whipped banana into my oats, and added cinnamon + vanilla.  Something I haven’t done in quite some time!  I’m also currently really enjoying about 3T of Raw Protein mixed into my oats, at the very end.  I don’t notice a texture difference, but almost a more “oaty” flavor.  It also thickens them up and keeps me satiated longer.  I’m not a huge fan of mix ins, and protein powders generally, but I feel that this powder is actually real food!

But the protein powder is not the star of the show.  It’s the crisp, sweet strawberries and the crunchy, cinnamon almond butter.
