Take some plain old oatmeal (that's right, the plain, no sugar added, original flavor kind):

Add some leftover homemade strawberry sauce:

Stir it all together. Add some sliced bananas:

Add more strawberry sauce:

Devour.


It.was.delicious.

I spent most of my day finishing up my recipe organizing. After I caught the hubby staring at me last night like I had an alien growing out of my head because I was surrounded by about 15 piles of magazine cutouts that appeared to be in no discernible order, I decided I needed to buckle down and finish up the project today. I had some recipes in a previous notebook but for some reason I used that sticky paper that used to be in photo albums back in the early 90's where you peel back the plastic sheet and stick the pictures directly on the page? You know the stuff....works great for photos...works not so great for thin magazine page recipes if you ever want to move them around. I spend a good long while peeling the recipes I wanted to move to the new book off the sticky paper, after which they immediately curled up into tight little rolls,  making them nearly impossible to organize, even after I smashed them in my heaviest textbook for three days...but I prevailed!

I turned this:

Into this:

Woo hoo!


In other news, I almost ate my camera's memory card this afternoon because it is the exact same size and shape as the Kashi crackers I was having for a snack. I had the  crackers in one hand, the memory card in another, and I came dangerously close to chomping down on the wrong one! Whoops :)

Here's your Christmas card for the day- yes, we were both orchestra nerds and yes,  those are matching velvet dresses:

Here was the actual winner that went out with the Christmas cards that year. It was a big hit!

Enjoy!
