what happens when you combine a freshly finished peanut butter jar and a love for oatmeal? OATS IN A JAR happens!! and it changes your life breakfast! FOREEEVVVEER! straight up, now try and tell me this isn't delicious! not only does it manage to get all the leftover peanut butter from the jar but its incredibly fun to eat out a a jar. {its like any second now the police is gonna come a knocking and take you to the clinker for eating out of the jar. THE THRILL!} thanks sara for the peanut butter insanity inspiration!
richard may be crazy about his peanut butter, but i'm crazy about OATS IN A JAR! {hey, maybe richard and i could hit it off. both strangely crazy about specific foods. YO RICH GIVE ME A RANNNG SOMETIME.. LETS KICK IT!}
CHELS-MANIA OATMEAL
big heaping 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup milk
more than a sprinkle, less than a cup, of cinnamon {but of course}
sprinkle of nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 giant Tbs brown sugar
{sometimes} a packet of splenda
combine everything but the brown sugar in a bowl and microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. then sprinkle brown sugar on top and enjoy! also blueberries added on top creates instant fruit wonderfulness.
no fail. this is how i always make my oatmeal!
now all i have to do is quickly go through another jar of peanut butter... commence all meals served with a side of peanut butter STARTING NOW!
hope your day is simply swell and filled with your favorite treats!
p.s. my lover- no not richard, my one and only true love joseph gordon levitt- made these shirts. is he trying to tell me something? like how the red dot in his heart is the love he has for me? holy shirtballs..
LOVE OIAJ!!!!!!! Whoooohoooo for PB!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your enthusiasm about life! And oats in a jar, hehe. It does look yummy!
ReplyDelete*forces self to eat lettuce* Yummy treats? what?
OMG. Seriously. THIS MIGHT CHANGE MY LIFE. I used to be ambivalent toward oatmeal . . . until now. I cannot wait to try this--I might have to down my whole jar of peanut butter in order to do so!
ReplyDeleteAhh awesome! When I was little my dad used to make me something like this. He would mix me a bowl of peanut butter, oats, and honey, and it was the best thing ever!! I think I should make that soon ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so ridiculously amazing! I love all things oatmeal and PB!
ReplyDeleteoh my goooooood gosh. that looks phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing about what you just said that wasn't yummy...mmm...oats in a jar...
ReplyDeleteHaha YUM! I just had oats for breakfast with fresh fruit BUT peanut butter would knock me off my seat! Sending you a hug!! XO
ReplyDeleteI had oatmeal for breakfast to day and it wasn't this exciting. I really think I need to join you on emptying a pb jar stat so I can try this! I always leave this place hungry... what's up with that?
ReplyDeleteThat looks sooooo good! Oatmeal is also really good with some jam! Mmm...
ReplyDeleteWhat the what!? How have I never thought of this! I'll be over tomorrow after work to help destroy a jar of peanut butter and then we'll eat that oatmeal (with blueberries in it, duh) and invite Virginia over to top it all off with THINGS WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING, BUT TOTALLY ARE!!!!
ReplyDeleteYUUUUuuuuuMMM! Totally going to be making that soon! Maybe Pb&J for dinner... gotta work on having a pb jar!
ReplyDeletethis brings me back to freshman cafeteria... <3

ReplyDeletethis could be very detrimental to my diet but heaven for my taste buds.
holy crap. stop changing my life.
ReplyDeleteOATS IN A JAR, OATS IN A JAR (yell this like you would say snakes on a plane, snakes on a plane).
ReplyDeleteSOOOOO glad you enjoyed them! Everyone should experience it sometime in their life :D
I wish I was almost out of PB...sigh, that's the downside of having three jars open at once - they are used up slower.
That looks delicious! Oh man.
ReplyDeletei LOVE the tshirt you linked. very cool.

ReplyDeleteall this is making me wonder what peanut butter oatmeal cookies would taste like...mmmm....
ReplyDeleteThat looks like THE most amazing b-fast idea ever!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the effort involved in chucking it in a jar instead of a bowl but it looks yummy and I'm so giving this a go tomorrow morning :)
ReplyDeleteAlso you have an award waiting at my place, come by and grab it when you have a sec!
ReplyDeletelooks so yummy mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteOh no! I did end up making this for breakfast and I don't like mine too milky and gluggy but because we had crushed oats mine are too runny! However I am perservering on and I'm actually being pleasantly surprised. I finally know how I know my oats; a million times thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy mind is adequately blown. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove me some JGL!
ReplyDeletemmm.... natural peanut butter oatmeal! i wonder what other jars this would work with... maybe pasta sauce oatmeal? mayonnaise oatmeal? pickle oatmeal? the options are endless! :)
