Beautifully Poor

It really is that time of year for the taste of apples and cinnamon! The other day I wanted something hearty, filling, yet healthy for breakfast. The chilly mornings leave a desire for something warm as well so I concocted this delicious yet simple recipe that is ready within minutes!  Homemade Apple Oatmeal 1 apple, peeled, cored, cut into 8th's, then sliced thinly into a small saucepan 1/2 cup oatmeal (not instant) 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (add more if you like more) Dash of nutmeg, cloves and salt Stir together in the small saucepan. Add 1 cup water of milk (I used water) and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the pan. Once the apples are soft it's done!   Delicious, filling and fairly healthy. Enjoy! Oh and this is one serving :)

Cocozia did it again! But this time even better! Who knew that chocolate coconut water could TASTE SO GOOD! Well it does now! It almost tastes like chocolate milk, but lighter and healthier! Our family has fallen in love with it - even my picky 4 year old! It comes in a case of 12 - 16.9 oz packages (we are already down to 6! Yikes!) The chocolate coconut water comes in Tetra Pak's for better quality and retained freshness. You can drink it right out of the box or pour into your favorite glass to enjoy. My favorite part about this is that I don't have to add anything; just shake and drink. I don't have to buy fruit or pick herbs to get the desired flavor out of it to mask the actual coconut water taste. Don't get me wrong, I do like plain coconut water, but being able to grab-n-go is much more convenient and my kid actually drinks it; score for me! The ingredients are as follows: Organic coconut water, water, organic coconut milk, organic c...

I really enjoy coconut water and it is so good for you. I only buy organic coconut water because there is a big difference in flavor if you ask me. Cocozia is USDA Certified Organic and I love the real deal! Cocozia's coconut water is crisp and light and has a great mild flavor. It is a delicious way to hydrate and my favorite time to drink it is before I run a race and after to rehydrate. It is also a perfect way to cool down after being in the sun all day and to help replenish your body with necessary nutrients. It is high in magnesium which is essential to our bodies and also has calcium, iron, phosphorous and potassium. A great way to get electrolytes without added sugar. One of the great things about this coconut water is that you can use it not just for drinking but for baking as well. Use it in breads in place of warm water or in hot oatmeal in the morning. My favorite way is to muddle herbs and fruit in the bottom of a glass and add coconut water to it. Very ta...
