So I took the plunge today… I tried it… yup, I tried spicy oats… after seeing them in their delicious form on Green Dog Wine’s blog, I couldn’t resist to try them and decided to stop being a scaredy cat! Well, I must say I am a HUGE fan of them ~ I really wish I tried them sooner!
For my bowl, I used:
- 1/2 c oats
- LOTS and LOTS of buffalo hot sauce
- 2 sliced american cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
I popped it all in the microwave for 2 minutes, gave it a good stir, and then added more hot sauce. It was so hot but I loved it. It was such a nice change to eat something savory for breakfast instead of something semi-sweet.
Mid-morning, I snacked on some pecan halves and an apple… I subbed the pecans in place of the almonds I’ve been having since i’m all out 
It was a yummy texture & I felt like it kept me more full than the almonds, but I think that might be in my head!
For lunch, I had a wide assortment of “courses”: Blueberry Chobani, two clementines, and pb&j on Arnold’s bread.
Mid-afternoon before I headed to the gym I snacked on a Pure Protein bar. I never had the chocolate chip flavor before and thought it reminded me of cookie dough, I think I’m going to stock up on this flavor next time.
At the gym I did 45 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. When I got home, I did 15 minutes of Ab Ripper X. It was tough just like before and didn’t get any easier.
For dinner, we had an easy one: Target brand Archer Farms Margarita Pizza. I topped it with a can of Italian Diced Tomatoes, garlic, pepper, and crushed red pepper. It came out awesome! It was thin crust and came out super crispy!
We also had our standard mixed green salad on the side with Asian dressing.
After dinner I had a caramel dolce sugar free Jello topped with grape nuts. I haven’t had one of these Jell-O cups in a while and used to be hooked on them
*Please say some prayers for a police officer that was killed in our area today in a traffic accident. It’s such a sad story and I’m sure his family needs lots of prayers*
Okay, okay, you’ve convinced me to try savory oats … like you, I have been a little put off, because I am so used to my oaties being sweet and delicious!
But I love hot sauce, so I’ll give this a whirl.
Thanks!

Savory oats – that’s in my breakfast queue for sure. I’ll have to mix it with something a little sweet as I always need a little balance at brekkie.
Way to branch out and try something new. Sounds like it was a success!
I hear such great things about those Archer Farms Pizza. Yet another reason to love Target.
I’m thinking about that cop and his family right now.
so sorry to hear about the police officer from your area.
I have heard of savory oats before – but never buffalo sauce and cheese, it actually sounds like it would be realllly good!
That’s one oats combo I haven’t tried yet, I’m glad you liked it!
mmmmm pizzaaa. delish!
i will be praying for the family, it’s amazing what group prayer can do.
i just bought a whole box of pure protein bars, glad to know they’re good!
ZING! Hot-sauce oats, eh?! I guess they’re like any other grain…
I’l definitely say a little prayer. I don’t know the story, but anything like this is sad, sad, sad.
I love your eats! And mmmm.. PB and J!
I am craving your dessert right now!!
Hot Oats! I am such a salty/spicy person and could never make the sweet sweet oats! YAY!!!
I’ll be thinking about the family of the officer, such a shame.
I want to try the savory oats! They always look so good on Green Dog Wine!!!! So sad about that police officer
How much/what kind of liquid did you put in the oats? They sound interesting!
I’ll absolutely keep that family in mind.
Wow, you are adventurous trying those spicy oats! I don’t think my tummy could handle it that early in the AM.
SO SO sad about the police officer! I will say a prayer, thank you for sharing!
Im not sure Im brave enough for savory oats!
The pizza however looks sooo great!
You are braver than me! I don’t think spicy oats are in my near future, although, you never know.
Oh my gosh, will definitely be praying!!!
And I don’t think I could handle those spicy oats!! My tongue burns just thinking about it!
All of your eats sound diiiiiii-vine! Chobs, pure protein, PBJ, hot sauce = yums
That is so sad to hear, their family will be in my thoughts!
Prayers coming – there’s been a lot of crazy stuff in the news lately.
You should try an over easy/poached egg on those oats – yum
I need to try those Archer Farms pizzas already!
Aw what a tragic story. Hope your week is going well
Fabulous eats!!
I’m definitely keeping the officer’s family in my thoughts and prayers.
