Don’t knock it ’til you try it, folks!!

On my NYC trip with Quaker we started talking about all the savory oatmeal options out there. Have any of you been to OatMeals, the oatmeal restaurant in Lower Manhattan? We almost went during our visit with some of the magazine editors, but the timing just didn’t work out. They told us about some of the creative savory oat bowls, and had us brainstorming all the creative ways to enjoy oatmeal for lunch or dinner. Oats are so similar to risotto, so it’s easy just to imagine risotto to get the creative juices flowing.

Bacon, date and blue cheese is one of my very favorite sweet-savory combos. I’ve combined these ingredients in a stuffed pork tenderloin, and they are my favorite toppings for collard greens.

You could surely have this for breakfast, but perhaps it’s easier to imagine as a lunch or light dinner.

Start by making a simple bowl of oatmeal with milk, water and salt. No whipped banana here!

Stir in the greens near the end of cooking to allow them to wilt a bit.

Prep your ingredients on the side – leftover bacon, a juicy date and a bit of crumbled blue cheese.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
