The Daily Balance

Reason #176 why I love working less than a block from a Starbucks.

Starbucks perfect oatmeal

 Now, did it look this pretty?

Absolutely not! But it was delicious and filling, so it deserves that *misleading* photo

I used the entire mixed nuts packet and just a smidgen of brown sugar. (Because I’m sweet enough already, right? )

This was a great afternoon snack choice that did a great job of stopping my growling tummy!

How often do you take advantage of the cafes and restaurants near your work?

   I was just thinking to myself the other day that I was glad there wasn’t a starbucks close to my work, haha. I think I’d go broke!

   I am definitely always looking for an opportunity to try this Starbucks oatmeal! I’ve heard great things, so next time I’m on a trip and a starbucks is serving it nearby, I’ll be giving it a shot

   I dont drink coffee so I generally avoid Starbucks. I had no idea they had this! I might have to go try it now.

   I still have not tried Starbuck’s oatmeal – but am sure I will some day! Since I “work from home ” as a stay-at-home-mom I do use cafes and such for quick meals from time to time esp. when out running errands. Panera is my current fave. I order either veggie soup or black bean soup w/ whole grain baguette. At Starbuck’s I always get a latte and drool over the Rice Krispie treats that are good (we do have one and spilt it from time to time though!)
