    Does anyone else ever "accidentally" let their bananas get too ripe so then you "have to" make banana bread? Asking for a friend...

    Okay, just kidding, I've totally done that. I've also bought more bananas that I knew we'd go through, I've "forgotten" to freeze bananas for nice cream and smoothies, and I've totally bought bananas more ripe than I'd ever eat them plain.

    ((Side note: please tell me there are other plain banana eater freaks out there. Like...they have to be pristine, yellow and sliiiiightly green, and not a brown speck or bruise.))

    Anyway, I decided we needed to branch out from our usual banana bread. When I was looking through my old recipes, I came across my Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal. I've made so many variations of this recipe over the past couple of years, and I thought - why not combine banana bread and baked oatmeal? So I did!

    This recipe is pretty straight forward. It's low in added sweetener (or you can leave it out altogether). It's vegan, packed full of whole grains, fiber, and healthy fats. But beyond all that? It's a fun hybrid between banana bread and baked oatmeal that results in a delicious breakfast the whole family will love!

It happens!

But if this has typically triggered restrictive or extreme habits or eating patterns, let's try something different:

Can you try to gently step back into caring for yourself?

Check in with your baseline habits.
+How are you sleeping?
+Managing stress?
+Has your water intake turned to mostly coffee intake? 
+Are you moving your body in a way that feels good right now?
+How are your eating habits?

Then, when the opportunity next presents itself to do something a little different, like adding vegetables to your lunch or skipping Netflix to actually go to bed at a decent time😘, act on it!

What's one thing you're going to do today to support nourishing and caring yourself and getting back to any of your health goals?
