Today's Tasks

I have now watched 3 of the 5 Oscar nominated films. I went to see "Slumdog Millionaire" today. I saw it at the older theatre in McKinney. I haven't been to that theatre since 2001 when I moved to McKinney for the first time. It is kind of shady, but super cheap, so I braved it and went. I was able to see the movie for $3.25!


My Aunt Amy e-mailed me today and said that she enjoys reading my blog and said she can't believe how much I get done. This kind of made me laugh because most of the time I think to myself that I can't believe how little I actually get done! So, after the movie, I felt like I really did need to accomplish something today so that I lived up to the pat on the back my Aunt had passed along via e-mail. I decided to organize my kitchen pantry. I'm sure that you have NO interest in seeing my photos of my pantry, but here they are, posted anyway...


How embarrassing! I can't believe I'm posting a "Before" photo!
But really, you needed to be able to compare the before and after photos...


Two garbage bags full of outdated food and one and a half trash cans full of recyclables later, here is the finished product!
You really need to see the close-ups to appreciate how organized I am now.

Yes those are the reduced sugar frosted flakes up there, I have discovered that with a couple of teaspoons of sugar on them, they are edible!

I purchased a couple of spice rack shelves to help me organize my canned goods, etc. Pretty good idea if I do say so myself!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau
