I’ve seen other bloggers rave about “oats in a jar.” Basically, when your jar of nut butter is down to a tablespoon or so, pour some hot oatmeal in, mix, and eat.

I tried it this morning, and I have to admit, it really didn’t do anything for me. I don’t get it—is the appeal the taste? Texture? Or is it the thrill of eating out of a jar (near the top of the unspoken list of things women are “forbidden” to do)?

But hey, oatmeal is oatmeal, and I love oatmeal, especially with apples and cinnamon, so I was happy to call it breakfast.
