Join me on a culinary adventure as I learn how to cook with local and simple ingredients by making all the recipes in Simply in Season. Along the way we'll explore the benefits of eating locally, including freshness, taste, nutrition, variety, environment, and local and global health.
This week, I was really worried that I’d have to report a gain. I had my monthly, er, blip. Luckily it came off and then some, so I netted a half pound loss for the week. Better than a gain!
In my weight loss class we are focusing on fiber this week. So for my recipe I knew I wanted something high in fiber. Also fast. Don’t you hate it when you know you’ve seen a recipe somewhere but can’t remember where? I *know* I saw Chai Oatmeal in someone’s blog, but I couldn’t find it in my reader. So I Googled it and found a close approximation to what I had in mind at shape.com.
It’s just regular oatmeal, only with chai spices in it, plus some oat bran thrown in for good measure. If you’d like the detailed recipe, click the link above. Mighty tasty!

I just tried to leave a comment a second ago, but it wouldn’t let me for some reason, so I’m going to try again.
I’m on my own weight loss journey and have had a few blips along the way. I’m hoping to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time my daughter is 9 months old, which only gives me less then 2 months. So we’ll see how it goes.
I’m not a big fan of oatmeal, but that picture made me in the mood for some.
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!

this sounds great! I bet if I made a version of this for my little guy he would love it. He eats oatmeal but I fear it’s not got enough nutrients in it for him. You just gave me the idea to make an eggnog oatmeal breakfast!
