Good morning! I’ve got to make this snappy, as I’m running late, late, late!

First off, I’m glad everyone found my quick thoughts on Motivation to be interesting!  I will definitely expand on this topic tonight, and I’ll respond to your comments when I get a chance.

Secondly, don’t forget about the Athleta contest! $200 worth of sweet workout gear could be yours!

I was craaaaaaaving more savory oats this morning.  My Green Eggs and Ham experiment went so well last week that I decided to give savory oatmeal another try!

This time, I halved the recipe because my previous bowl of oatmeal was way too large.

"Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?" Savory Oatmeal

Ingredients:

For base:

• 1/4 cup oatmeal
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoons cottage cheese
• 1/8 cup chopped raw spinach
• Pepper to taste

Toppings:

• 1 slice deli meat BBQ Chicken
• 1/2 whole egg  egg
• 1 tablespoons shredded cheese (I used Cheddar)
• Pepper to taste

Preparation:

• Combined first three base ingredients in a pot on the stovetop.  Heat on Medium until liquid begins to boil and evaporate off.
• Add cottage cheese, pepper, and raw spinach to oatmeal, stirring thoroughly.  Turn off stovetop and let stand on burner until oatmeal is finished cooking.
• Meanwhile, spray skillet with cooking oil and fry egg and chicken.  Move  chicken around constantly so it doesn’t burn or stick.
• Once egg is done cooking, scoop oatmeal into a bowl.  Add egg and chicken on top.
• Sprinkle oatmeal with pepper and shredded cheese.
• Enjoy!

I enjoyed my savory oatmeal with a warm cup of coffee…. of course!

I’m craaaaaaaaaaazy late! Have a wonderful day!

PS – My schedule calls for running (speedwork) tonight!! YAY YAY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
