It is safe to say that warmer weather is here!  *knock on wood*

This means (but is not limited to meaning):

• Living in the park (even the homeless dudes think I reside there)
• Braves games
• Sun burns tans
• Softball season
• LOTS of patios

 

Softball season kicked off Sunday morning.  I got 2 doubles, 2 singles, a walk, and a RBI.  I’ll take it!

Unfortunately, the Braves didn’t experience the same success… we lost to the Phillies (yo).  Not that this stopped us from smiling while earning the first sunburn of the season.  Despite several coats of SPF50.

The post-game Avett Brothers concert did me in – my shoulders are pink red.

If you haven’t heard of them before and you like good, well-written music, I strongly suggest checking them out.  Here, let me help ya…

Warm also means the return of cold breakfasts.

I have made banana-chia pudding.  I have made overnight oats.  Both are fantastic warm-weather breakfasts.  Naturally, I don’t want to wait to eat either one… so last night I thought to myself: “Self, why not have your cake and eat it too?  Just combine them.”

Then I thought: “Duh.  Sometimes you can be pretty slooooow.”

Then myself rolled my eyes at me and went to the kitchen.

Blueberry-Pear Overnight Pudding

• 1/2 medium pear
• 1/2 C blueberries
• Juice of 1 lemon slice
• 3/4 C unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 C oats
• 1 T chia seeds
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Stevia, to taste (I used 1/4 packet)

 

Mix everything together, mushing the pear and blueberries a bit.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from fridge in the morning, stir, and enjoy!

What are you looking forward to now that warm weather is coming/here?

Do you like being out in the elements when it’s hot? I’d much rather be sweating than shivering!
