Carbo Loading:
(verb) To consume large amounts of carbohydrates through food intake.
Above: spiralized zucchini noodles with my homemade Alfredo sauce, veggies similar to the ones from Thanksgiving, and two toasted whole-wheat English Muffins with jam. Two muffins are better than one ;).
.
Speaking of carbs… I’m finally getting around to posting the recipe for that oat milk! Here she be:
CCK’s Oat Milk
Ingredients:
3 and 1/2 cups super-hot water
1 cup rolled oats
Optional: vanilla extract, sweetener, salt
In a lidded container, combine all ingredients, cover, and refrigerate. After a few hours (or a day), blend until smooth. (Edit: a reader left the suggestion of grinding the oats in a coffee grinder first if you want a smoother consistency.)

I am a HUGE carb lover. Mainly of the nooodle variety. YUM!
Vita-Mix GIVEAWAYYYY!?? HORRAY!

Yikes – busy week for you indeed! An exciting one for me though when that VitaMix giveaway starts 😉 Next week is more job searching and playing the waiting game for me – I know it’s crazy but I can’t wait for a schedule!
yummy carbs!!! i made your butternut me up fries for lunch today. soooooooo good.
i go back to school in exactly a week 🙁 but spring break is in less than 2 months so that will get me through lol. good luck with packing/preparing for another semester!
I agree with the 2 is better than 1 theory with anything ezekiel! Great post!:) Just letting you know that my blog has begun although it is in the early, constructive stage. Feel free to let me know what you think! -Adam F.
Hi Katie!
I’ve been following your blog for a while but this is my first comment- your meal looks delicious! I am so excited to find someone who shares my love of chocolate and oatmeal and has the time to make delicious concoctions. I am a working mama so I don’t have much time. We are also back to school- but I am the teacher. Teachers dislike going back to school just as much as the students!
Katie(I am also a Katie 😉
I’m on vacation in San Diego! I’m pretty sure it would take a while for this vacation to lose it’s appeal. 🙂
I made my first juice pulp crackers yesterday! Not raw, since I baked them at 200 degrees, but really fun to make!
Carbo loading…yum 🙂 I am increasing my carb intake slightly because of my increase in running in addition to my normal cardio. I am studying this week for the ACE personal trainer test, taking kids to doctors and school, cooking and blogging 😉 I have a crazy, busy week ahead 🙂 LOVE busy weeks! I just finished with school myself, so I understand…I JUST got my MBA (I’m 36) so you are way ahead of me! Have a fantastic week Katie!
School. Work. Dance class. Homework. Minimal sleep. Eating. What a fun week! Haha, I think the only thing I am looking forward to is the eating part and dance class. =P
I’ve been following your blog for a while now. Great posts and I love the fudge baby ones! I just need to make some in my free time. Maybe tomorrow since I only have school. 🙂 I am excited for your Vitamix giveaway!
Looks yummy! I can’t wait for the vitamix giveaway 😉
This week…is another week of work, meetings and life in general 😉 I’m going to try to make it a yoga filled week!
Have a happy Sunday!
This weekend was a carb-luvin one. 🙂 Much love to the carbs, for sure. This week, my son goes back to school – they had an extra week’s vacation because our new school is built and we’ve been moving things for 3 weeks! I’m looking forward to this week because we’re supposed to have a heat wave (aka 34 degree highs) until Friday!!! It’s been well under zero for the past week and a half, so I’m excited to not have to wear 10 layers just to take the trash out!!!
MMm. That Alfredo is a must try.
I’m completely head over heals in love with my spirilizer! I make beet noodles and carrot noodles and tofu noodles and….you get the point, but that Alfredo sauce looks so much simpler to make than the recipes I have and it doesn’t have soy! Hallelujah! Im honestly eating way too much soy at the moment.
:S
school’s starting up here, too 😐 the best part of grad school is the end, when you’ve finished your classes but still are around to do research. All the interesting work, none of the boring courses!
Who could resist those carbs?!
Work this week…awesome.
I love carbs too; they’re my waistline’s downfall – even though I don’t eat refined ones.
You’re giving away a VitaMix? For realz? Cool.
My week is more of the same, cleaning, job-hunting, going slowly insane (some would argue this is already accomplished), and learning to drive stick shift to facilitate speedier job-hunting and gym-visiting. 🙂
I am looking forward to more of those zucchini noodles and alfredo sauce myself! AND, I just wrote myself a reminder note to make some fudge babies tomorrow. I’ll let you know when I make them, I just have to decide which ones to try first…
Oh, and I disagree about vacation. A lifelong vacation sounds great to this student! 😉
