Wow, I’m really bad at updating this–I don’t know how the three-times-a-day bloggers do it!
Sunday
Oatmeal #82: Bean Brownie Oatmeal
>
I made black bean brownies before and thought they were pretty good–if the right amount of sugar was added–and so this was born!
I was a little scared that it would taste bitter again, since the only “sugar” I added was half a banana–but it turned out to be enough! [I used black beans and adzuki beans, by the way]
And this mess was dinner:
Grrr I meant to make a frittatatatata–not ground-pork-like substance! Too much veggies, not enough egg! 
The rice was good though 
I flavored it with rice vinegar and some Japanese rice seasoning.
Monday
Muesli
Well I thought that I was going running yesterday so I made this…I should have known better! Didn’t wake up til 6: 05 a.m. so there was no time for my morning run…not unless I wanted to rush afterwards…so I didn’t go…-sigh-
Anyway, I threw together some goji berries, blackberries, and corn muesli on Sunday night, stuck it in the fridge, and it was good The blackberries got all mushy though–probably ’cause they were frozen.
Well–off to run in about 1 hour 15 minutes!
I want to try rice vinegar on my rice. How much should I put in a serving? What is Japanese rice seasoning?

For 0.25 cup of rice, I use 1 tsp–it tastes like a lot at first, but the vinegar taste seem to gradually disappear into the rice for me, so I use that amount
And the rice seasoning is this packet that my mom bought for me…it’s the green and brown stuff on my rice in the picture. I guess look for it in the “asian” section of your grocery stores?
You never cease to amaze me with your oatmeal experiments – love ‘em! :0)
Hope you get to run today!
It’s crazy how many things could go together and taste good. I would never be able to experiment with a combo like brown rice oatmeal or even brownies and black beans.
I really need to make black bean brownies. They sound like they would be really good and I see them all over the place now. It’s like they are haunting me or something…
No, that would just make me insane.
i have heard of brownies made with beans before, and you took it one step even further – where do you get your imagination??

Cheers to having the same layout! And also for a chocolatey-oats kind of morning.
Take care,
