My jar overfloweth
Sometimes, you just need to start the day with a mess.
Because when it’s down to the last scoop of almond butter, you don’t want a single bite to go to waste.
So you bring out the big guns.
Oats making mornings better. If I did advertising for Quaker Oats, that would be my slogan.
There’s an important lesson to be learned here about making oats in a jar, though.
It’s messy.
And oats are very hot.
You’d better believe I ate it anyway, goopy mess and all. I’m not one to let good food go to waste. Despite being so flustered by the explosion of sticky oats, I forgot to add banana.
Homemade (not by me!) apple butter works just as well. Oats AB&AB, anyone?
Erin’s food rule: If it tastes good, eat it. (I may or may not have stolen that from Andrew Zimmern.) Taste > appearance.
I’m starting a fun September challenge tonight to break up my normal routine and — probably — cause some more messes in the kitchen. Stay tuned! 
Have you had a kitchen mishap recently?
When I was eating oatmeal for breakfast, I usually made it separately and then poured it into the jar to eat, instead of a bowl. Less messy!
That’s definitely smart!
I need to slow down and not try to do it so quickly.
