This morning I had steel cut oats for the first time ever. I cooked them al dente and now I’m in love with them and their texture. So this morning I’m going to do a little steel cut oats recipe round-up.

Follow me over to Good Life Eats for some of Katie’s Slow Cooker Steel Cut Chai Apple Oatmeal. I want to try seasoning my water with chai spiced tea now!
Now let’s head on over to the pretty bee for some Coconut Chocolate Chip Steel Cut Oats. Chocolate chips on oats reminds be of when I was a little girl. After my mother would wake me for school she would often make me oatmeal with chocolate chips on top. I wold sit by the heater vent wrapped in a blanket to eat them.

On Monday my Group Power class was nearly full. On Wednesday there were only four people. This could be due to a million different things but I’m pretty sure the outside temperature dropping nearly 30 degrees between those two days didn’t help. Most people hate going out in the cold and I don’t blame them, I’m one of them! I thought this winter fitness article from fitness magazine had some good tips for motivating you to stay fit even when it is bitter outside!

These are funny because they’re true! Although, I think you would be safe to say that either sex will use these same tactics and texts.
15 Things That Girls Who Don’t Look Like Kim Kardashian Understand. I used to think that if I supported articles/lists like this that people would view me as desperate or unhappy about who I am or how I look. Now, I don’t care. They’re all true to me, but 6, 14, and 15 are my favorite!
And I’ll leave you with this funny bit about Grandpa Joe, LOL!
Have a Happy Fun Friday!
