Girl Connection Memories

written by Parita Leave a Comment

If you don’t remember what Girl Connection is, read this post first – Girl Connection.  My company’s volunteer coordinator just sent out pictures from the event, and I wanted to share!

Self-defense workshop

ZUMBA!

Me with the girls!

The whole gang 🙂

I didn’t share this in the last post, but during lunch, one girl innocently asked me, “so, what high school do you go to?”  When I told her I graduated a long time ago, she responded with “you look young,” and the others nodded in agreement.  I literally LOLed!  I then tried to explain my educational background but quickly realized that I was losing their interest, so I shut up! 🙂  Overall, the event was well put together and lots of fun.  I hope my company continues to sponsor it in the future.

Snack Idea of the Day

As I was writing this post, I ate one of my new favorite concoctions.  I’m not going to bother adding it to the recipe page because I would feel a little silly (it’s really simple).  All you do is take a cup or so of Greek yogurt (I am really liking the Trader Joe’s brand), a squirt or two or three of honey :), and granola and mix it all up.  That’s it…so easy but so good!  The honey adds the right amount of sweetness with no funny aftertaste, and the granola adds the crunch.  A perfect snack to hold me over until dinner!

I’m off to clean my apartment before I have to go to the airport. 🙂

Morning Oatmeal

written by Parita 3 Comments

For as long as I can remember, I have been a milk and cereal girl.  Ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that I don’t just like cereal, I am obsessed with it!  My favorite cereals are Honey Bunches of Oats, Banana Nut Crunch, Multigrain Cheerios, and the list goes on.

Recently, I started making oatmeal a few mornings a week, and OMG do I love it!  My mom was the one who introduced me to it, and I must admit, I was extremely skeptical at first.  In fact, the very first time I tried to make oatmeal all on my own…I failed.  It was a gooey mess!  I then tried again, adding some simple “extras.”  Not only is oatmeal delicious, it tastes great with a cup of coffee, and it keeps you full until lunch!  Personally, I believe I have mastered the oatmeal making process (to my taste that is).  And today, I am going to share my morning oatmeal recipe. 🙂

This recipe serves 1.

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup skim milk

1/4 cup quick cooking oats

2 Tbs. ground flax seeds

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 banana – shredded or cut into tiny pieces

1 spoon of natural peanut butter

1/4 cup granola

Heat the water and milk in a saucepan for a few minutes over medium heat.  Then add the oats, ground flax seeds, and cinnamon.  Mix well.  When the mixture starts to thicken a little, add the banana.  Keep stirring until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture starts to bubble.  Pour it into a bowl and add the peanut butter and granola.  Enjoy!!!

Other fun add-ins I have seen on other blogs include:

Dark chocolate chips, maple syrup, chia seeds, nuts, dried fruit, etc.

Morning oatmeal is a fun way to unleash your inner creativity in the kitchen AND start your day right!
