Sunflower Butter, Strawberry Jam, and Coconut Steel-Cut Oatmeal

I've been adding coconut to everything recently.  It just makes everything yummier!

1/4 cup        steel-cut oatmeal
1 cup           water
1 tbsp          sunflower seed butter
1 tbsp          strawberry jam
A splash      almond milk
A sprinkle   shredded coconut


Cook the steel-cut oatmeal in water, stirring occasionally until the consistency of the oatmeal satisfies you.  Add a splash of almond milk, your sunflower seed butter, and strawberry jam.  Sprinkle coconut on top and you have a yummy, healthy breakfast!

Haiku

Hi everyone! Here is a low-maintenance way to keep an eye on some things I'm doing in my life. Here's the history to the name of the blog: At the Department of Mathematics' Commencement Ceremony, it is a tradition for students to write his or her "Future Plans" and have this be read aloud while he or she walks across the stage.  Partly because I prefer(red? I am  starting this blog) a little anonymity and partly because I cherish a good joke, I enlisted the help of a most-poetic friend to help me come up with a playful "Future Plan."  During Spring Break, we wrote potential words on Post-Its and came up with this haiku: Trav'ling whisperer: Lacking sound...waning silence Yearning to claim seas Have a haiku to share? Post it in the comments below! Thank you for reading! Samantha

Roasted Kabocha Squash

I'll admit now that I don't usually measure ingredients.  But I err on the healthy side. Kabocha squash!  I know, I know, it's a fall/winter squash and it's summer.  I guess you can see how much I like kabocha.   1          kabocha squash 1 tbsp  liquid coconut oil             salt             pepper Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Chop up kabocha (I use a cleaver.  Make sure your knife is sharp, because kabocha is hard to cut) into slices.  Toss in a bowl with coconut oil, salt, and pepper.  Roast for 30 minutes, flipping them over at the 15 minute point. It's delicious and filling!!  Even K who doesn't like coconuts liked it.  K said it smelled like butter :D

This post is about what to do with the extra clothes:  donate or sell?! I know many people who sell their gently-used clothing to Crossroads or eBay users.  I know good friends who have found something perfect for them at Crossroads or on eBay.  It is mutually beneficial.  When _I_ think about selling my clothes, I think about the extra cash I can have so that I can buy a piece of cl...
