We customize these easy, healthy, & convenient Overnight Oats to make them "His & Hers"! They save us time & money, while keeping us full in the mornings!
For close to two years now, we've been meal prepping mine and Josh's weekday breakfasts on Sunday evenings before bed. Not only has it saved us money, but also time. And time, as a parent, is a precious thing, let me tell you!
Overnight Oats have the added benefit of being a healthier breakfast option than most, in addition to being filling enough to get you through to lunch time without snacking! We bought cereals. We did yogurt. We even bought the oatmeal packets in the store. Overnight oats just have more "filling power" than all the others. Which is saying a lot because Josh, ya know, is a pretty energetic dude...and if it fills him up and give him energy, then it's a win in my book.
We've honestly been meaning to share this recipe with you for a long time. In fact, when we visited with some friends last fall, they were like, how have you not shared that yet!?
Good question! But, not only am I sharing this post today, but I also did a Facebook Live for it, and Josh filmed me giving a quick tutorial on YouTube. It seems as though that now we've made the decision to actually share the recipe, we're sharing it in ALL THE PLACES. Do bear with us as we work on our video-making skills. It's new territory for both of us, and it's going to take some practice. That being said, we'd love for you to subscribe to our YouTube channel, and as we begin to add content to it, we'd love your feedback even more! Here's the video for this one - what do you think?
I absolutely love being a mom to all four (I can't believe I have four kids now) of my children. Three girls and one boy plus a husband and a cat to care for.
It's November! GAH! When did that happen? Was it really only last week that we celebrated Halloween? I don't know about you, but not only am I happy to get that extra hour of sleep back (thank you daylight savings), but I'm also eagerly anticipating Christmas now!
The weekend started out beautifully! On Saturday, Josh and I took little Miss Ruby out for brunch (and she was a perfect angel). It was sunny and fairly warm for this late in October...and then Sunday morning and we woke up to cold weather and unexpected rain (though I guess rain should really never be unexpected here in the Pacific Northwest).
These days, it's spit up in my hair, sweat pants pretty much every day, and the hours passing me by like they are on hyperspeed. I forgot how fast I have to move each day just to get one or two things done. And then it becomes a challenge trying to figure out what item on my To Do list I want to try and accomplish today.
