Happy Thursday. Today’s the day we do the randomness thing. So, shall we?
1.) First off, gratuitous dog picture: 
It was so great to see Eli this past weekend. Since he burst on the scene last year, there has been so much more laughter in my life. He is such a sweet, silly, little weirdo.
2.) It’s been a while since I rambled about music on here, but lately, I just can’t stop listening to Wilco’s “What Light.”
3.) I’ve been putting Netflix on a lot in the background when I’m at home lately. I’ve found myself oddly glued to the series Grace and Frankie. Basically, two ladies find out their husbands want to run off with each other. The whole family gets involved. Hilarity ensues.
4.) Though my love life feels like a Joni Mitchell song (“Cactus Tree,” specifically), I know lots of people humming a very different tune. With everyone putting a ring on it these days, this infographic on the science of a happy relationship seems like it could be pertinent. Happy trails, kids.
5.) Without going into it, I’ll just say that my stress levels have been like whoa lately—mostly your garden-variety fear of the unknown, paired with a salt-rimmed glass of Let It Be, but still. This Waynes World quote basically sums up how I feel about everyone’s favorite stress hormone, cortisol. If coristol was an ice cream flavor, it would definitely be pralines and d***.
6.) In food-things news, I’ve been digging savory oats this week. It’s basically this recipe. I like to cook in some egg whites for extra protein, which also makes it really fluffy. I especially love to add leftover roasted veggies, a sprinkle of goat cheese, and either avocado, tahini or Trader Joe’s tahini sauce if I have some. I swear, there must be crack in that stuff. 
…and that’s all she wrote for today.
What’s on your mind today? Any favorite songs or TV shows lately? Favorite breakfast?

Dang! I haven’t had savoury oats in forever and I miss them! Maybe not so much for breakfast since I’m a sweet girl all the way, but for dinner? Heck yes. That definitely needs to happen sometime soon.
I <3 savory oats for dinner!
Anything involving PB & chocolate (which sadly I don’t get to eat nearly enough) is my fav. Sorry, I don’t get the savory oats thing. I have to force myself to eat savory breakfasts because I know sugar is not my friend, but if I could, I’d have waffles & pancakes for every meal.
haha I know it’s not for everyone, but totally worth a shot if you ever decide to come to the dark side : )
Those savory oats look really good! But whenever I tell myself I am going to prepare them, I always end up adding something sweet and changing it all together… nothing goes with oatmeal like something chocolatey or nutty!
Your dog is adorbs by the way!
Thanks! He’s a happy little guy : )
I swear you are always inspiring me to try more savory oatmeal recipes because I am already an oatmeal freak and eat it so often, why not experiment and try it in savory ways? I finally remembered to buy some egg whites at the store last time I made a trip so hopefully I’ll remember to add those in with other things soon to make a savory recipe!
Hope you enjoy!
