Overnight Oats

Mmmm. An easy jar of deliciousness. Almost like a dessert for breakfast! It can't get much better than that, am I right???

I've heard A LOT about overnight oats. An abundance of positive things. How easy they are & how damn tasty they are once they hit your mouth hole. So, I finally jumped on the bandwagon & decided to test them out.

They truly are so simple to make. You layer, layer, layer, pour in some sort of dairy whether it be milk or yogurt or a dairy substitute, twist on a lid & boom you have yourself breakfast (or lunch or even, dare I say dinner) for the next day!

This is what I did for our version. I poured 1 cup of oats into a pint size mason jar. Then added a spoonful of peanut butter, sprinkled in some mini chocolate chips (because chocolate anytime of the day is acceptable). Then added a handful of strawberries & blueberries. Finally I poured about a cup of milk over everything until it just covers the filling. Top all that off with a lid & let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.

The next morning we drizzled a wee bit of maple syrup all over those goodies. Gave it all a little stir & then shoveled all of that into our faces! You can obviously add whatever the heck you want to make your own overnight oats & I'm sure whatever you choose it will be soooo good!

Enjoy!

Friday I'm In Love

Totally blowing my mind that it is already July! I feel like this every summer when July arrives, but probably more so this year since it is baby month! We have family coming in to town for the 4th & have a few fun things planned! :)

We went to our first food truck rodeo of the summer & that deliciousness below is known as "poutine."  It's a Canadian dish of french fries, cheese curds, gravy & topped off with basically whatever the heck you want! I decided on the egg and bacon & Nate got the pulled pork. Holy balls. It was amazing!

A few links to kick off your holiday weekend!

This kids epic stare down.

This sweet dog. Melt my heart into a puddle.

I originally saw the kid version of these & loved them, but then found out they also come in adult sizes! Yes, please.

81 thoughts I had during the GOT finale. Quite literally sums up all my reactions.

I want this & this & these. Damn you Anthropologie.
