Yesterday got craaaaazy. I had intended on making samples for distribution but as luck would have I ended up baking for customers. I was operating at almost full capacity in my tiny apartment which became like a little oven in and of itself. I got it done but not before 1 am,a lovely dinner of peanut butter from a nearly empty jar some seeds. Wow...my dinner was an arts and craft project a three year old made for a bird.
In any case, I am alive and kicking but kinda beat this morning. In addition to trying to start what I realize now is an online bakery I'm also training for a late spring marathon. As is characteristic of my mornings I TRY to reserve an hour of down-time which never really happens...I also have problems sitting in one place for extended (extended= more than 3 minutes) periods of time. There is one thing however that has managed to give me pause - breakfast. I never used to eat breakfast until I started long-distance training and I've come up with a doozie for all you slackers...
I stand by oatmeal as a staple for breakfast but with the following twists you'll get your protein, amino acids, essential fats and slow-digesting carbs all in one sincerely satisfying and delicious bowl:
I make a big pot of quinoa at the beginning of the week and add it to most of my meals (don't be scared off by meal planning...so easy, cost effective and a great time saver...I swear by it...more about that to come!)
Jumper Cable Oatmeal:
Prep: 5-7 mins
Organic quick oats (bulk foods aisle...i live in it)
1/2 cup of quinoa (pre cooked)
maple extract or cinnamon
honey, splena or stevia sweeteners
diced apple or pear (or whatever -raisins, cranberries)
top with hemp hearts n flax seed and almond milk
CRAZY GOOD AND WILL KEEP YOUR ASS IN HIGH GEAR FOR HOURS
k I'M RUNNING LATE AS PER USUAL. sorry I wasn't screaming that i just left the caps on.
More to come today, promise.
NOW EAT YOUR GD OATMEAL AND GO DO SOMETHING!
(i did scream that one)
