Fluff It To Me

by


I want to shout off of rooftops how excited I am about today’s breakfast.  Not only because I’ve been dancing around the idea of making it for quite some time now, but it changed my world a little AND I’m still full.

Adding egg whites to Irish oatmeal does not sound the least bit appetizing.  But after reading about others’ successes, I decided to give it a shot.  It’s hard to believe that a 16 calorie addition can give an extra 4 grams of protein and an unimaginable fluff to an oh so ordinary breakfast.  After briskly mixing the white into the hot oatmeal, try adding 1/2 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 tablespoon of agave nectar to satisfy your salty/sweet side.  At less than 250 cals a pop, why the heck not!  Did I mention it’s delicious?





My Mid-Century Life

by

I’ve been told a time or ten that I’m deceivingly domestic.  Perhaps my front door is really a time machine – where everything is different upon entering, including me.  My home is defined by mid-century finds, daily home cooked meals, a sewing machine, and rose scented candles.  In other words, I think your grandma’s cool.

I’ve recently purchased a percolator and it’s my newest favorite.  And before I continue, I have to admit that my taste in coffee is comparable to that of red wine – when asked if I enjoy a cup or glass, my answer is merely “yes”, no details.

So yes, I enjoy my percolator.  It makes two to four cups of caffeinated goodness and is pretty enough to serve while suited up in your finest Anthro apron.  With no need for a coffee filter, it’s also a sustainable choice.  Compete with that Mr. Coffee!

I take mine black, but have agave nectar and almond milk on hand for guests.
