Oats don’t fill me up very well. I’m almost always still hungry at the end of the bowl, and I end up wanting another meal about two hours later. Therefore, they’re not my go-to breakfast for weekdays. However – on a Sunday, they’re perfect. As was this bowl:
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tbs. chia seeds
- 1.5 cups water
Cooked on the stovetop for about 5 minutes. The toppings…
- ½ cup plain yogurt with cinnamon mixed in
- Coconut granola
- Sprinkling of pepitas
- 1 tbs. crunchy peanut butter
Although my belly is still a little grumbly after this bowl, I’m going to give it a few minutes before I dig into something else. Most likely, I’ll eat another breakfast after church, which I now must go get myself ready for! I’ll leave you with a picture of my adorably dramatic 5 year-old niece at dinner last night. She took my sunglasses out of my purse and struck a pose when I whipped out my camera.
Have a great Sunday.
LOL- how does she know to pose w/ her hand on her hip?! I don’t think I learned that until college.
What a little Diva….love it!!
Happy Sunday, Katie!
I love oats, but they don’t fill me up very well when I eat them for breakfast either… but for some odd, unexplained reason, they DO fill me up if I eat them for dinner… maybe it’s b/c my stomach isn’t as empty as it is at breakfast time???
My goodness, isn’t she a sassy little lady? That is too adorable!
I think it is so funny how foods have different effects on people because oats sit in my tummy like a rock! Have a wonderful Sunday lady.
your niece is such a lil diva!
hey girl!
thank you so much for your comment! i am so glad we are both late night SNACKERS! so true about oats-BUT i used to eat 1/3rd cup and recently switched over to 1/2 cup and that does the TRICK! cause you add more oats AND liquid!! your niece is adorable!
That is so funny – oats actually fill me up TOO much. I can almost never finish an entire bowl.
She is SO cute!! I love the pose!
I am the same way with oats. What is wrong with us?!
JK!
I know it is supposed to be filling stuff, but I still feel hungry after and I’m talking a majority of the time.
Your niece is too cute- love that she struck a post for you! haa! Has someone been watching America’s Next Top Model?

Oats fill me up but I make them cold and overnight with protein powder sounds awful but I call them overnight brownie protein oats and they are good and filling! They’re linked in a post that’s up right now..they are chocolate
And the little girl…she and skylar must know each other with the pose striking action
Oats are like the only thing that fill me up! I’d eat them for every meal if I could, haha
LOL your niece! fierce. oats usually fill me up perfectly, but sometimes i swear i eat them and am hungry like 30 mins later and not just hungry but STARVING. wonder what’s up with that
that pic is adorable. period.
Haha, adorable! And those oats look fantastic!
Oats don’t fill me up at all either. I wonder why they do some people and not others.
Your niece is cute!
LOVE that pic haha so cute in the sunglasses!
Oats never, ever used to fill me either until I started using a 1/3 cup milk + 1/3 cup water… now it works like a charm and I’m usually good to for a long time. Still not as filling as pancakes, but you can’t win ‘em all.
Hope you had a great day deary!

oops, ignore the 1/3 cup before the word water!
I’m not an oats for breakfast kinda girl, either. I love them for lunch, though! Hope you had a great Sunday!
haha…she is ADORABLE!
try making your oats with an egg or milk – it totally helps amp up the satisfaction-factor.
and i got the new women’s health magazine with kara (the american idol judge on it) – i think she totally looks like you! have a great day lady!
what a chic fashionista! such a cutie pie!
what a cutie patootie!
Oh dang! Someone should look into trying out for America’s next top model within the next couple years….check that hand positioning! FIERCEEEEE
And yum. Your oats look pretty

Oh my gosh, she is such a little diva and I LOVE it!! She so knows what she’s doing. Love.
Haha! She has everyone fooled! Please note the marker all over her hand and leftover peanut butter around her mouth! hehe.
NO DOUBT she is absolutely precious, and that she LOVEs to pose and dress up, however, she is also usually covered in some sort of media, be it chalk, paint, mud, pen, yogurt, or said peanut butter. No one else I know has quite this mix of the elements it takes to be amazingly well-rounded. I love my girl! – her momma
