Anyone else absolutely dumbfounded that it’s the end of July? I had to change the passwords on my email accounts a while ago and a couple days ago when I accidently typed in the old password, a polite little reminder popped up from Google saying that I had changed my password over 4 months ago. Really? Over 4 months ago? I swear I only changed it like 3-4 weeks ago, not 4 months ago! Good thing Google is keeping track of things for me! 😉

I sat down yesterday and wrote a list of all the things I’ve been meaning to blog about & the list filled an entire page and a half by the time I was done! On the one hand I think, man I should be blogging more. On the other hand though I think, hooray for time spent away from the computer actually living life! 🙂

Of course, then my guilt over not documenting things, at least a little bit, started to kick in and I decided I should do at least some journaling this summer. So, my new goal is to post one day in the month of August Oops, I mean one time per week in the month of August. I always say I don’t have time for things, but then I magically somehow find time to fit in an episode or two on Hulu. So, the time is there, clearly! I just need to be more diligent in staying on top of what I’m filling it with.

Of course, filling my time with moments like the one pictured above, I am all for! I have absolutely LOVED having Titan as my little buddy this summer. And that’s probably the main reason for my lack of blogging. We’ve have just been having way too much fun! 🙂

This is us running our first 5K two years ago. Isn’t Cami adorable in her little running outfit? We ran one more 5K that fall to help raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, but I got pregnant with our sweet little Kyler soon after that and haven’t run much since (unless you count chasing all my littles!).
I completely planned on running several 5Ks this year, but got sidetracked. New plan is to run a midnight 5K up in Rexburg at the BYU-Idaho reunion – LOTS OF TRAINING TO DO in three weeks! This week I went back and checked out the advice from my runner friends and family from my first 5K:
1. Clip your toe nails the night before
2. Don’t drink too much water while running
3. Eat healthy during the week
4. Go to bed at a good time the night before
5. Eat an energy bar on the way there/eat a good breakfast.
6. Always make a goal – My personal record is … wait for it … a whopping 42 minutes. Speedy, eh? That is what I aim to beat.
7. Start at the back of the crowd so you don’t feel bad when the super fast people pass you.
7. Run in actual sports attire. I love the runner’s skirt I got at the Runner’s Corner two years ago. It is SO SO SO comfortable. Much better than my mommy capris. Love my running socks as well. Thinking I need to splurge on better shoes and a running shirt this time.
8. Bring a small piece of candy, protein bar, or Shot Blok for the seocnd mile.
9. Relax, enjoy the run, and don’t stress
10. Invest in a good sports bra. Done and Done.
11. Make sure your shoes are a half size bigger than normal.
12. Always breathe in and out on your left foot (when your left foot hits the ground).

13. Do twenty minutes of stretches.
14. Get some great music.
15. Run with a watch so you can pace yourself
What tips do you have for running and what are your favorite songs to run to?

Oatmeal is one of my breakfast staples. Growing up I enjoyed Quaker Instant Oatmeal . About a year ago, I started cooking more from scratch and found this 5-star oatmeal on allrecipes.com that I loved. I ate a lot of oatmeal during my pregnancies to help with my pregnancy induced high blood pressure. Oatmeal also has more great benefits:

  • High in fiber – keeps you regular 🙂
  • High in cancer fighting agents
  • Makes you feel full longer
  • Good source of carbs for energy (loved having a bowl before 5Ks)
  • Good source of vitimins
  • DELICIOUS 🙂

Fast forward to when I began the 8 Weeks to a Better You Challenge and cut all processed sugars and white flours out of my diet. Hard – yes. But totally worth it! I lost all of my pregnancy weight by the time my baby was 3 months old. This was huge for me considering I never lost all of my baby weight from my first two pregnancies. Now I am participating in a mini challenge again and glad to have some of my favorite recipes like this on hand.

Much to my chagrin my favorite oatmeal recipe was out as I typically drowned it in brown sugar. Lucky for me, I found this AMAZING recipe for Baked Oatmeal from The Enlightened Homemaker. I adapted it slightly to what I have on hand and this is what I make several times a week for me and the kiddos now.

The key to this recipe for me is grating the fruit. I tried it once with diced fruit and I just didn’t like the texture. So now I grate the fruit on a plate and then pour it in along with the juices that came out. It makes it so sweet and perfectly flavored. I don’t even use the whole amount of pure maple syrup anymore.

It’s also important to allow it to soak over night. I wondered why so I consulted Dr. Google and found this article about why oats need to be soaked. The article explains it quite well, but the jist of the story is that soaking the oats over night breaks down the phytic acid in oats so that it doesn’t block other important nutrients. I also liked the texture that it gave my oatmeal . Not to mention it is so easy to toss in the oven the next morning and we get a breakfast that fills us up!

So here is the yummy recipe:
Baked Apple Oatmeal
From Molly’s Cookbook

1 C. whole rolled oats
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. sea salt
3 T. pure maple syrup (or less)
1-2 grated apples or pears
1 1/4 C. milk (you can use coconut or almond milk, but I just use regular)
Nuts if desired.

Cover and soak overnight in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 350 the next morning. Grease a glass pie plate. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into pie plate. Bake for 25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Don’t over bake. Remove from oven and allow to cool a bit. Serve with a little milk, whipped cream or yogurt if desired. I typically just eat mine plain and I love it! So does my two year old. But, really, the possibility for toppings are endless.

Enjoy! What are your favorite breakfast recipes?
