Life is too short not to be shared!

My name is Jody. I am a God lover, wife, mother, foodie and runner who is trying to balance healthy life altering foods, with flavor.

God has given us these bodies and lives and I believe we were created to thrive, not merely survive.


Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Oats of Glory

You could start your day with frosted flakes because lets be serious...they rock. Or, you could start with something that will keep you satisfied, lower cholesterol and please your intestines....OATMEAL!
You could waste your money on instant oatmeal or you could take 5 minutes and use the calories you saved for that grande Mochacchino you've been dreaming about. 

This serves 1, you!!
Grab a bowl and throw in the following:
3/4 cup organic oatmeal (use organic wherever possible, it is always the best option)
1/4 cup bran
1 tbsp. ground flax seed (you can get the good organic stuff at costco for cheap)
pinch of salt
3 dashes of cinnamon
handful of raisins (great for those looking to increase their iron intake)

Cover with 3/4 cup of boiling water. Top with 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 cup of milk...ENJOY!!

I get my bowl of dry ingredients ready at night and in the morning I boil the water and ta da...instant oatmeal, with less calories and more satisfying ingredients!
