Oats, Freezer Corn, an ER trip, Meatless Monday ~ OH MY! Im exhausted ;)

OK...Lets begin with amazing oats I have been creating lately! I am just loving the Better Oats raw organic oats + Great Value brand light vanilla organic soy milk for a base(its under $3! holla!)...


I always have to add a little truvia, then chocolatey goodness:)
CHOCO FUN: fiber one brownies, granola thins, protein powder, etc!



Todays mix: with a 1/2 luna bar&white choc wonderful! :) nummyy

 What goes great with big bowls of oaty goodness?... great coffee and an uber cheap febreeze candle!


This candle was on sale for 3.97 + I had a 2 $ off coup ~ what what!
and coffee out of my amazing Beloit mug from mama is even better yet:)



Sunday was a freezer corn kinda day... thanks to my bestie Kristi for letting us do this in her kitchen! Had sooo much fun!






The Filling Station







The boiling station





Success!



 

after the corn extravaganza I gardened outside for a bit, got some good loot:)

Onto: Labor,Meatless,ER - MONDAY.
Happy Labor Day! I hope everyones was nice and relaxing:) mine was, I cleaned, organized, and was feeling accomplished!
I sat down to relax with a beer in hand, ready to blog...
I then hear "Get the keys we have to go to the ER" ... I half-laughed, silly husband is joking, we *just* went to the ER less than a month ago! ... Nope, he was serious.
He was chopping the last log from a pile of branches he had sawed down from our forest-like backyard and must've mistaken his leg for a log. 12 stitches later (18 total for the month) -- we are home in bed. I will spare the graphic photo I took (sent to my RN sister, to double check the stitches were good enough...yes, Im a protective wife. ha!)

Quite the labor day festitivies!! Another labor day festivity would be --- my very first Meatless Monday~ which was very successful!!
