I definitely brought my own oatmeal pot to the lake.
I brought lots of oatmeal supplies:
- non-stick pot
- 1/4 and 1/3 cup measuring cups (the usual sizes I use when I make oatmeal)
- bamboo stirring spoon
- old-fashioned rolled oats
- chia seeds
- bananas
- sliced almonds
- Barney Butter
All the materials to whip up a great bowl of oats.
Which is exactly what I had this morning along with some scrambled eggs and cheese my MIL made.
Todays bowl was made with 1/2 milk, 1/2 water, oats, sliced banana (stirred in at the end) and topped with: slices almonds and a spoonful of Barney Butter.
We enjoyed breakfast on the screened-in back porch.
Bailey loved the view.
I’m loving the view myself. I’ve actually got my laptop out here and am enjoying the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery. In fact, a breeze just blew through the porch, rustling the leaves like someone strumming a harp. Ahh…if this doesn’t help me de-stress I don’t know what will! lol
Hubby’s sister’s two kids are playing outside – they’re catching tadpoles!
They just brought one up to show us. I love the curiosity of these guys!
More lake fun up ahead I’m sure! Cheers!

I have such vivid memories of catching tadpoles as a child! I can’t even imagine touching them now. So funny how things change when we get older.
Seriously! There are tons of things I used to play with as a kid that I wouldn’t touch now! lol
What a fun trip! I love that you brought oatmeal supplies with you!
It looks so good!
Have pot, will travel. Love it.
Ha- so great that you brought all of your oatmeal supplies. I would do that too!
haha I totally take oatmeal supplies with me when I travel too! LOVE IT!
Hahahaha – YAY for homemade oatmeal, girl!
I love looking at your yummy food!! LOl always makes me hungry though. hey, have you ever shared how you make your oatmeal with measurements? My daughter and I eat it everyday but with her being so little and very impatient, I have resorted to the 1 minute quick oats most of the time. I would love to know how you make yours since it always looks sooo yummy!!! I usually add some almond breeze (unsweetened vanilla) and some PB to mine. yum!
Thanks Stacey! I used to post exact measurements every time but now I just do it once in awhile. I will definitely add the measurements to one of my next posts.
At a high level, usually I do 1/4 or 1/3 cup of oatmeal, depending on how hungry I am.
Thanks!! Picked up some dark chocolate PB and some chia seeds this morning to try. We ususally use ground flax seed so this will be fun for a change or in addition.
Check this out..
