Overnight Oats

Sometimes you just need a quick breakfast right??

This one is one you can make the night before (it needs to sit at least 8 hours before you consume it) and it can be eaten for up to 3 days after it is made!! You can also add variety by changing up the seasonings (cinnamon, allspice, etc) and fruit.

Overnight Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 plain greek yogurt
1/3 almond milk
1 heaping tsp of chia seeds
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
honey to taste

Directions:


  1. Find a mason jar...I used a 8 ounce jar, but I'd kind of like to use a larger one so I could add more fruit!
  2. Pour all the above ingredients in and mix well.
  3. I added blueberries to the brim afterwards.
  4. Refrigerate at least 8 hours.
Enjoy!

It's been a while...

Hello there! It's been a while huh? Um I think about 3 years!! A lot has happened in those 3 years...3 places of work, pregnancy, and mom life! So what's new?? I worked at a small outpatient clinic...didn't like it! Went to an awesome hospital in the city...LOVED it!! Then after having my son took a position at a local hospital...only 8 minutes from home vs the hospital in the city which was 55 minutes on a good traffic day! I found out I was prego a few days before Christmas 2016...yes it was planned. For YEARS, we said NO kids ever! My father died in 2015 and my whole thought process on kiddos changed! Landon David arrived 8/14/17 via planned c section...he was breech! I stressed myself out incredibly too much about sleep, breastfeeding, being perfect, etc AND I suffered from Postpartum Depression and Anxiety! One thing I have learned about Motherhood is that you can plan, but you have to expect the unexpected!! Once I accepted this, my anxiety died down A LOT...
