1. I have a new camera! While taking photos with my blackberry was discreet and convenient, I felt like it wasn't doing enough justice to my food. It's a Canon PowerShot SD1300, no DSLR but I've been told this is one of the best point-and-shoots out there!
2. It's my last day of summer vacation! Technically school doesn't start until next Tuesday but I'm not counting the weekend.
3. It's a gorgeous day out and I went on a 25minute run along the beach to watch the sunrise. (The tail end of it)
All these reasons prompted me to finally recreate OIAJ! The concept of OIAJ (Oats In A Jar) is putting freshly cooked oatmeal in an almost empty jar of nut butter so the hot oatmeal melts the nut butter in the bottom and on the sides. I love this idea because it doesn't waste any nut butter aaaand has a similar concept as a fruit-bottom yogurt! I just couldn't wait to reach the bottom of the jar.
That's how much almond butter was left in the jar. I deliberately didn't eat the last two spoonfuls so I could whip up a batch of OIAJ when the urge hit. I eyeballed it this morning as 2 tablespoons but when I ate it it seemed like far less so I will say it was 1.5 tablespoons (150). I made stove top oats using my usual oat mixture and added in half a frozen banana (50) and a tbsp of honey (60). I toasted some pecans in the microwave and sprinkled those on top. (50)
Breakfast was completed with a cup of blueberries (80) and a cup of pumpkin spice tea, my new favourite and a perfect transition into the fall. Breakfast: OIAJ (470) + Blueberries (80) = (550)
Happy Tracy polishing off her first OIAJ in her first jar of almond butter!
The last spoonful was the best! Look at that glob of AB! Mmmmm.
I'm glad you're loving your new camera my dearest! Have lots of fun playing around with the different settings and effects. :)
