Cheat Codes: Overnight Oatmeal
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a morning person. At all. I enjoy my sleep, and I enjoy it well into the late hours of the morning. And those times I do have to get up early it takes me a long time to get going. So knowing my breakfast is ready and waiting for me when I get up is a load off. While there are some other types of breakfast that you can prepare in advance, today I’ll be tackling everyone’s favorite winter breakfast: oatmeal.
What is this morning you speak of?
The Cereal Report: Quaker Oats Real Medleys
The Cereal Report is a column in which PCFG conducts various cereal reviews, of new or limited products, as well as providing brief backgrounds on the cereal. Cereal is delicious and fairly cheap as far as meals go. Everyone should eat cereal!
I started eating Quaker’s Real Medleys oatmeal not too long after it first came out, and I enjoy it. Well, not all the flavors, but most of them. They’re my go-to instant oatmeal during oatmeal season. They have more stuff in them (like dried fruit and nuts) than the regular packets of oatmeal, and I find them to be more filling. However, this snack report is not about oatmeal. It is in fact about the new cold cereal version of Real Medleys that Quaker has released. Considering how much I enjoy the oatmeal, when I saw the new cereal I knew I wanted to try it out. I got the cherry almond pecan flavor, but it also comes in peach apple walnut.
Smoothie Sunday: Cherry Lemonade Smoothie
I really like cherries, so I wanted to try to use them in a smoothie. I also decided to make it even more summer-y by making it cherry lemonade flavor. The main problem with this smoothie was that I was using fresh cherries and don’t have a cherry pitter. Needless to say, removing all the pits was a major pain in the butt. However if you can find cherries whose pits have already been removed, or have cherry pitter, this smoothie will go a lot easier.
What you’ll need…plus lemon juice because somehow I forgot to take it out for the picture.
