Happy Monday Folks!!
I had a recovery day after my run up Mt. Spokane yesterday. I woke up early to make some oatmeal bake for my sister, brother-in-love and nephew. In fact my nephew was my help.
I made a Vegan Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bake. It’s very similar to my other oatmeal bake, but it’s vegan and gluten free and has some added flavor with the peanut butter.
It’s great warm with milk poured over it.
And I also love it cold for a quick snack after running. I made enough for leftovers to use for that purpose. Micah, my nephew, loves it.
It only takes 30 minutes to make and is a crowd pleaser. All you need is oatmeal, peanut butter, cinnamon, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and milk. You can find the whole recipe here.
After church I made some pasta salad. Yes, it’s finally that time of year again: Pasta Salad season!! I made enough to take for lunch and dinner, and gave Marc some as well.
My friend introduced me to the Lemon Pepper Pappardelle Pasta from Trader Joe’s.
It’s amazing and since I love pasta salad, I used it for the pasta. I loved the flavor of the lemon pepper pasta.
Pasta salads are simple to make and you can add as many different types of vegetables as you like. I used tomatoes, arugula, green onions, bell peppers, and olive oil with some salt and pepper. Find the full recipe here for my Veggie Lemon Pepper Pappardelle Pasta Salad!!
Marc and I loved it. I am excited to have lunch and dinner for the next couple of days.
Anyone else make some food for the week?
