Week 2 of NO MEAT!

Yep, that's right. I've only had 1 close encounter with bacon and even eating around it made me feel yucky! So def not going to slip up and have any chicken mcnuggets! But other than that I am feeling good.  I feel lighter and surprisingly less hungry.
2 of my favorite stores for groceries:

• Trader Joe's
• Sprouts

They both have great prices and at Sprouts I can buy beans and grains in bulk which helps save money and I love saving money!!

My new favorite breakfast:
Steel cut oats. They take 30 min to cook on the stove, but it is well worth it! 1 cup of coats equals 5 days of breakfast! All you need is a little brown sugar and agave sweetener and you are good to go!
I got the steel cut oats from Sprouts and filled a bag up not expecting a cup to go so far.
How to cook:

• I filled a medium sized pot about half way full of water and let it boil. 
• Add 1 cup of oats to the boiling water stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to make sure the oats don't get stuck to the bottom of the pot. 
• Reduce the heat and cover the pot with a lid. 
• Continue to stir every few minutes
• After about 30 minutes the oats will be cooked and really thick. The water should have reduced and absorbed into the oats
• Add 2 table spoons of brown sugar and 1 table spoon agave maple sweetner
• let cool
• Pour into a seal tight container and put it in the fridge

The next day the oats will easily cut into 4 squares. Add a little water and cook for 45 sec in the microwave, stir and put it back in the microwave for another 45 sec-1 min and waaaalaah! Breakfast!
Sooo good and filling! I eat a bowl the morning I make it and then put the rest in a container, so it technically makes 5 servings but if you have a big enough seal tight container make a bigger portion and then you will get more servings!
