Egg White Oatmeal

Some Witch @somewitch (1524) 13h

This has been my go-to breakfast for the past few weeks. It's very easy to make: once the water with the oats starts to simmer in the pot, I add the (carton) egg whites and stir. Whether I whisk them or not, they add so much...

coolimrose I love sweet oatmeal. Never tried with egg though. Not sure I'll like that. Definitely a protein packed meal and it is so important to eat healthy. I like my oatmeal with milk sugar some vanilla essence and chopped nuts.

Positive Thinking.

Judy Story @jstory07 (141298) • Roseburg, Oregon 1 Feb

coolimrose Beautiful outfit. The color red is my favorite. May lord bless Vince's brothers. I have always said this, that if one has faith and belief in God then no matter what he throws at you, you never leave hope and just wait for him to play out his plan.

coolimrose I'm not sure what kind of surgery you are talking about but I'm hoping you recover from it. Some stiches on drying are super itchy. I often used to put something cold on then like a frozen bag of peas. Often you get creams which help to reduce itchiness. Trust...
