So, maybe when it comes to to-do lists, I am an underachiever. However, I know for a fact I am a breakfast overachiever. The proof is in the pics my friends, or in Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal.
1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup water + 1/3 cup skim milk
lots of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg + ginger
1/2 cup pumpkin
1 tbsp. maple syrup
1 small box raisins
1 spoonful Cinnamon Raisin Swirl PB
Glorious.
Throughout the day, I chose just to achieve (not under- nor over-) by eating mini-meal style.
1 cup Chobani Plain Greek yog
1 crumbled Whole Berry Blast Pro Bar
3/4 cup strawberries
I swear there is Greek yog somewhere in there.
My other mini-meals included a jumbo coffee + 2% milk (twas’ needed today) and some Chex Mix alongside a perfect, slightly green banana. That’s how I like em’ best.
For dinner, I overachieved once again.
mixed greens
1/2 purple pepper
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes
1 grated carrot
1/2 cup black beans
drizzle of BBQ sauce
grilled pepperjack cheese sammie on spelt bread
Dear pepperjack grilled cheese,
Why must you achieve so highly as to outshine the rest of my meal? I bow down to you in thanks.
Love, Me
I continued the overachieving by heading to do laundry right after work. Check. Little do you know that while blogging, I am also buying wedding gifts on honeymoon registries. Check. Who knows? I may even apply for that part-time job online after I hit ‘Publish.’ Almost check.
Who am I kidding? This is what I am really going to do.
Underachiever.

Why did I read this right before lunch? Before I read it, carrot salad wrap sounded good. Now I can’t stop thinking about hot, melty cheese!
OMG I need pumpkin ASAP. Seriously. I just drooled looking at your oats.
Love your list :D
Fabulous breakfast! Love your greek yogurt mini meal as well!
<3 jess

I need to make a grilled cheese now!
omg you crack me up. I am loing your letter to pepper jack cheese – mostly becuase I feel the exact same way. Have a FAB rest of your evening!!
I love the mini-meals! I would much rather have a bunch of smaller meals throughout the day than three larger ones.
Your oats=nummyyy!
Beautiful oats and beautiful salads my friend!!
Your to-do list looks exactly like mine! Ugh, NEED more hours in the day, though unfortunately I would probably still sit aimlessly on my butt haha.
Oh, and pepperjack cheese? SO DELICIOUS! Nice choice.
in my eyes i think you achieved alot! talk about multitasking! :) Get it girl! and girl that salad, for reals amazing!
I’ve been meaning to make pumpkin oats for a while now… Your pumpkin pie oats look sooo good! I may just have to “steal” the recipe… ;)
Love your to-do lists! Hubby is big on to-do lists; me not so much… I never get enough stuff done, so I don’t see the point… You are doing great! :)
I love your meals :)
To-do lists help me a lot to get everything done. I need to make them more often.
That whole berry blast probar is amazing isn’t it?
Your dinner looks amazing!
Part-time weekend job? Don’t over stress yourself, girl!
I really want that salad and that book. Happy Monday! :-)
HEY LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just opened your package and i LOVE it! twss. you are SUCH a doll! i cannot thank you enough. and i missed you! i am back, did i miss much on your life? let me know. did you know those pro bars are from utah? maybe you should come buy them locally ;) i love you. thanks so much doll face. MWAH!
YUM. I love me some pumpkin oats! I highly recommend making them in the crock pot:)
Lol your mini-meals are going to look like what I’m going to be eating all day tomorrow. I have 2 critiques and class from 9-5 then catching up with more homework… BUT I’m reading people’s blogs ahaha. I feel like if I miss a day I have soo much to catch up on!
p.s. your oats sound muy delicioso!
p.s.s. I suggest using apple butter.. pumpkin butter (you get the picture) with el pepper jack grilled cheese sandwich!
I seriously need to get pumpkin in my house!!! Fall is here already!!! That salad at the end looked amazing!!
Breakfast is the only thing that should be overachieved anyways ;)
eh, to do lists are NEVER done :)
I need to get some pumpkin, stat! and pepperjack. that sounds amazing.
AH, I’m so bad with to-do lists, too! I always put little things like “paint toenails” and “sweep floor while toenails are drying” on them so I can cross them off and feel accomplished.
I’m going to spend the day reading, too! Once I drag myself off the computer…
Such an amazing book! I couldn’t put it down.
Your oats look yummy!
I never get those frickin’ lists completed either. I don’t like them. The underachievement sounds best to me :).
Hey, looks like you got a lot done to me! OVER ACHEIVER! (what with the second job applying and all.)
That’s why all of my To Do list start with really stupid, simple things (i.e. make to do list, brush teeth, etc.). That way I can cross off more :)
Pepper jack grilled cheese is the best! All other cheeses are so inferior it’s not worth our time!
Pepperjack grilled cheese?! Oh yes, please! Sounds so good right now with a bowl of mater soup.
You are the definition of overachiever my dear, and I love you for it!
To-do lists aren’t actually meant to get completed are they?! Shite. I need to work on my skillz.
Breakfast does look glorious. I need a yogurt/granola bar bowl of yum soon.
And some coffee. Loooots of coffee.
xx
Why did I only discover the wonderfulness of pepperjack this summer? It is absolutely breathtaking when melted and with bread.
YAY mini meals! I love mini mealing my way through the way. The only greatest minimeal/snack you are missing would be a HUGEASS apple with an assortment of nut butters :D
LovE You sUga
p.s. YOUR HANDWRITING IS OUT OF CONTROL FUN AND BEAUTIFUL ….just like yo sweet self ;)
Um Holly, that looks AMAZING! Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog lately–I really appreciate you stopping by :) Hope you have a great day! xoxo
Pumpkin oats rock! Mashed banana makes a delicious addition…and a crumbled graham cracker on top can never be wrong.
If reading a book in the evening is underacheiving, where does that put my endless hours of Facebook quizes? :P
Would you like to come to Russia and be my own personal chef? Maybe? Please?
Pepper jack cheese PWNS ALL. They can keep their pussy mozzarella and provolone, gimme some FLAVOR.
I love tormenting the faux health chicks at my school who think cheese is a Satanic abomination. They don’t get why I would possibly tell the Wahoo Fish Taco people to leave off the tortilla strips but keep the cheese on the their awesome fish salad.
I’m actually going to be trying ProBar soon! I’ll let you know what I think!
Your oats look incredible as usual! How is it that even your raisins look better than mine?! :)
SO happy that pumpkin is widely available again! I bought big ole’ can of it. Your bfast and dinner both look fabulous to me. I may make a mexicany salad for din din. Can’t decide!
Pepperjack cheese slams it. SLAMS it! Love your ode to it.
;)
Wanna jog with me?

pshhhhhh pumpkin oats are so much more important than applying for jobs or wedding gifts anyways, way to keep your priorities straight bugaboo ;)
love you like no otha!
Haha, I would do that too. I love reading!
I read in Self magazine once that you should only have like 3 things on your to do list a day (outside of your job, I mean).
Your dinner looks amazing! I loved The Time Travellers Wife :)
Yes please, all of your eats look mucho delicious! I am especially loving the look of that salad : )
