Not Your Mom's Oatmeal

So this morning I couldn't take having another set of my protein pancakes for the 1,000th day in a row.  The thought of cooking up frozen blueberries with protein powder and egg just made me want to crawl back in bed and wait for the weekend to pass.  I recently bought Jillian Michael's book Master Your Metabolism Cookbook, and have been pleasantly surprised by her quick and easy recipes. 
The title is kind of a bore and I hate to admit it -but the girl can cook!  This morning I tried her "Steel-cut oats with apples and pecans."  Now, I surely didn't have steel cut oats OR pecans, but I did have oatmeal, apples, and all the little things like honey and cinnamon. 

In less than 5 minutes it was finished! The oatmeal was creamy, tangy, sweet and the extra crunch of the apples and cinnamon was a great start to my morning along with my coffee... And as you can see, the oatmeal came out perfect!
cheers!

food. My first love.

So I've decided to give something I love very much the attention it deserves- food.  Over this course of time, I'll be taking you through my wonderful journey of everything I cook from home (and my apartment) .  From my morning breakfast to the cookies at the dessert table, I'll show you how I did it from start to finish (even if it doesn't come out a success). 

So cheers to a new journey of fine and healthy eating through a college kids budget!
