Food: Half Baked Oatmeal

Hi Y'all!

It feels like it's been forever! Between eating good food and laughing endlessly with Chelsey up until about noon yesterday and then hitting the books hard for an exam on Thursday it's been full days. There is always time for good food though. Always.

Sunday for Superbowl Sunday and after the hike we went to Islands for dinner. It was us and two other couples in the whole restaurant so it was fun! I got the Turkey burger with roasted peppers and aioli on wheat bread with a side of veggies. Their burgers are the best!

Afterwards Chelsey made her infmaous drink, Venetian Sunset. It is to die for!

What was for breakfast this weekend every single day? My new favorite Half-Baked Oatmeal. Half baked because I do not generally have 45 minutes in the morning to wait for breakfast. I'm usually either A. way too hungry or B. time is of essence. Not to mention it is the best tasting breakfast in a while!
