I started out this morning wanting something involving blueberries because I have 2.5 pints of blueberries to use up before the weekend hits… After seeing Carrots and Cake’s post the other day about adding jam to her cottage cheese, I decided to try adding both a swirl of blueberry jam & blueberries to my normal bowl of oats, with flax, vanilla (1 tsp), walnuts (1 tbsp) & cinnamon added of course…

I was thoroughly impressed by the flavor this bowl of oats provided! It was sweet & tart, coupled with the warm goodness that automatically comes from a nice steamy bowl of oats… This was just what I needed to get going this morning…

Mid-morning, I had a pretty jazzed up snack that was delicious and surprisingly filling… one half cup of Breakstone’s non-fat cottage cheese topped with 3-4 strawberries and 1/3 of a cup of Kashi Go Lean… I loved the toppings most of all – sweetness from the strawberries and the crunch from the cereal!
