The Good and The Bad




Cinnamon Dry Oatmeal Mess and Basil Pineapple Smoothie

Like my cappuccino sometimes I like my oats dry dry dry! This morning was one of those times that all I wanted was a green shake and a bowl of grains, nothing more nothing less. Well maybe a little something more...I mashed in a few cashew fudge babies. I'm pretty infatuated with basil right now, since when did it become so spectacular? Maybe I was not adventuresome enough before to include it in my sweet dishes. Sweet coconut Thai basil oats? The wheels are turning!

Truth: I am a huge day dreamer. Often I will completely zone out either purposely or not. When I was little it was a coping mechanism to escape from reality but now I guess it just comes by naturally. Sometimes I forget where I am when I come back...odd but equally tranquil.

Chelsea and LilVeggiePatch want to share some truth with us?

PS: Thanks for all the encouraging words from last night...I was feeling quiet depressed and for once I felt I needed to express that feeling to others. Love ya all!

  1. i am now also so infatuated with basil in sweet dishes...ahh we think so much alike, i was thinking of making a coconut basil vanilla-y date oats or something soon!
    i must make some fudge babies ha the name makes me laugh every time...well i need some medjool dates, but i guess the normal ones will do...it just isnt the same, theres nothing like a medjool date :)
    i am quite the daydreamer as well, in school i could NEVER concentrate either doodling or daydreaming, i still do...always thinking. but i think it great, to have dreams and visions and thoughts...i wonder what its like not to day dream or think about things and brainstorm ideas constantly probably boring haha... ;)

    stay strong cutie, i too am feeling pretty low today and yesterday...but things will brighten up for us both, i know it :)

    have a great day maggie.
    love you!

  4. sweet coconut thai basil oats - what!? that is one fabulous idea.

    i'm learning that the more you open up your feelings to others, the more wonderful things you get in return. feeling that vulnerable can be scary, but i think it's usually worth it. i'm glad you opened yourself up to us. xoxo!

  6. Your breakfast looks so yummy, but I have a question... what do you mean by “dry”. Not cooked or just overcooked? I’m really interested to know because it looks so delicious and I also sometimes just don’t want very moist oatmeal!

    I’m sorry I missed your post last night, I am more of a morning blog reader.
    The poem was beautifully written, Maggie. You expressed your emotions so well and it made me feel sad. Your emotions just.. really really shown through.
    I hope you are feeling happier today, love.
    Stay strong!

  7. Karina- I usually overcook them and I don't add any extra liquids. It works nicely on an upset stomach...sometimes I just want my oats warm but very raw..ya know?

  8. I was about to ask the same question as Karina!

    Thanks, I like the idea!

  9. Your smoothie sounds so interesting! I'll admit that I've fallen into a bit of a food rut, eating the same variation of peanut butter banana oats, a sandwich, and a big salad with squash fries. Every. Single. Day. Just writing that is making me feel so boring. Thanks for the inspiration to shake things up a bit!
