Yesterday was an awesome day. It started with the link love and an awesome recipe round up on Angela’s blog (Welcome, new visitors!) and ended with…
…a kitten!
Yesterday I met the perfect baby girl. She is a loving, 10 month old rescue kitty who purrs constantly.
I think I'm in love
This is the sweetest, most loving kitten in the world. She walked in and made herself at home. Note to self – trim her claws!
Her name is Stevie. As in Nicks.
Stevie was very curious about my breakfast. We both need to work on NOT begging for food. 🙂

One of the recipes from yesterday’s round up was from Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga.
I just happened to have everything on hand to make her Microwave Blueberry-Banana Oat Cakes for breakfast.
I made a few modifications, but followed her recipe pretty closely. I will for-sure be trying this again and experimenting with different fruits/toppings!
Microwave Blueberry-Banana Oat Cakes
- 1/2 ripe large banana, mashed
- 1/2 C dry oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- Shake of salt
- 1/4 C unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsp blackstrap molasses
- 1/4 C fresh blueberries
Mash the banana in a microwavable bowl. Add remaining ingredients except blueberries, stirring to combine. Fold in blueberries.
Allow to stand ~5 mins, until oats soften a bit. Microwave for 3.5 – 4 mins.
Per Averie: You will know when it’s done because it will not be “juicy” looking anymore and it may have some “holes” on the surface.
After mircowaving, allow to rest for a couple minutes (mine didn’t make it longer than a minute…). Eat in that bowl or easily invert/remove from bowl and re-plate it, or take as a to-go snack.
I didn’t top mine, but next time I’d love a glob of melty almond butter on top. PBJ oat cake. Greek yogurt would also be tasty (icing on the cake!).

I’m trying hard to motivate myself to go run after last night’s downpour.
Do you like running in post-rain conditions? Is it so fresh and so clean or just chilly and wet?
Come on, sunshine!
