Hmmmm, what to write about today.
I have an eye appointment this morning. It’s actually closer to mid day than morning. It’s at 11:00. I really hate having appointments at that time of day. I prefer to have them first thing when the office opens so I still have the rest of the day to myself. This kind of splits it up so I can’t focus on a project the way I would prefer. Oh well, I need new glasses so this is my project for the day.
I was just reflecting on how my pattern of behavior has changed. In the past, I would have made the appointment a special cause to have something decadent to eat. I haven’t even considered that until just now. And you know what I thought about, having lunch at Sweet Tomatoes. Hardly decadent. Boy I have changed.
Speaking of eating I just realized I’ve been up for an hour and a half and I haven’t had anything to eat yet. That’s still one of my worst habits that needs breaking, eating consistently at the same times. This is important when one is diabetic. Putting this on pause for a moment…..OK 5 minutes later and I’ve got my steel cut oatmeal. 5 minutes for steel cut oatmeal, I bet you're wondering how’d she do that?
OK here’s the secret. I got directions for cooking steel cut oats off the internet using a crock pot. I cook enough for a week’s serving. It takes about 7 hours to cook on low so I set it up for overnight. Next morning I wake up to the smell of breakfast done. Reminds me of being a kid. I put the leftover in a sealed container. The next day I’m in a rush, or just don’t want to bother like today, I take about 1/4 cup of the oatmeal, shake in a dash of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg, and here’s the surprise a smidgen of red chili powder. Mix that together as best as possible considering the oatmeal’s cold; and then add almond milk mixing as I go until I get it to the consistency I like my oatmeal. Zap it in the microwave for two minutes and yum, instant healthy breakfast. Sometimes I like to add a bit of sunflower seeds on the top after it’s cooked. I forgot to this morning. That would have been good. Plus it would have been some protein. To finish up have some apple slices, banana slices or whatever fruit you prefer.
Of course you can use more than a 1/4 cup of the oatmeal; and probably you should. Being diabetic, I’m only allowed 1/4 cup at a time. Which reminds me. I need to finish my breakfast. Celery and peanut butter I think.
Have a good day all. ;)
