Trader Oats...

Are you sick of hearing me talk about Trader Joe's yet?? Well, the bad news is: I doubt I'll be stopping anytime soon. I just looooovvvvveeee it there! I feel like I've lived there since they opened a store near us in December:) Can't I do a commercial for them, or something?? They can pay me in discounts;) Not that their prices aren't completely reasonable to begin with. But you can always find the most interesting things.....


Which leads me to my breakfast today....
Ok, ok...steel cut oats aren't earth shattering, BUT they normally take a half hour or so to make, so a 2 minute microwavable version is a pretty good weekday substitute. However, imagine my surprise when I opened the box, and found this:

Well, I guess if I can eat "Oats in a Jar", it really shouldn't be that surprising to see "Oats in a bag"...(plus, really, who wants to pay for the extra packaging for a mini bowl??)

I just had my oats plain and heated up in the microwave...completely forgetting the almonds that I had thought about including for the last, um, 8 hours...oh well! But it was nice, warm & yummy. You may need to add a little extra sweetener, but I didn't want to mess with the "natural" brown sugar & REAL maple syrup that the box claimed it contained. Yum!
