My co-worker asked me yesterday “did you see Kath’s guest post today?” I hadn’t, but when I clicked on it I saw Alison’s spicy oats and I knew IMMEDIATELY that it was going to be my breakfast this morning. I stayed pretty true to her recipe, with a couple of exceptions.
And while I am a TABASCO girl, that doesn’t mean I don’t have 18 other hot sauces in my fridge! The base was the same as Alison’s:
I went kind of light on the hot sauce – I actually could have added more because Frank’s doesn’t have the bite that Tabasco does.
I used all egg whites, added spinach to the egg whites, and put 1/2 ounce of shredded cheddar on top – and then finished it off with my Tabasco. 😀
And the perfect bite:
So its day one of my 2 week challenge and I slept in! I am going to ask my co-worker if she wants to walk at lunch today instead of doing the shred tape because its a GORGEOUS day out today. If we walk for 45 minutes and since I am walking during lunch, I’ll earn 50 points!
Morning break is over – come back for a taco melt for lunch!
yum, tabasco!
I’ve never had savory oats! I’m nervous!! You make me want to branch out on my morning eats though!!
WHOA. Totally new perspective on oatmeal. Also, aren’t you some kinda hotsaucechick? Glad to learn of your blog, eager to try your recipes! Mahalo for stopping by mine. This challenge has inspired me to UPDATE my own blog, LOL!
Wow! That looks fantastic! I just might have to give that a try this weekend. Probably on Sunday…I’ve got a race on Saturday and don’t want to set off a 5-alarm fire in my tummy the morning of it. 😉
Another breakfast that I need to try! I love that idea!
Fantastically interesting breakfast! I will first have to wrap my brain around a non-sweet oat – then my stomach. =) Thanks for the comment and encouragement on my post! You are so right – work is over-rated! You date story had be cracking up! I would have just looked at the guy and said “Seriously!!??”
What did you think of the oatmeal + hot sauce combo? I need to try it!
You need to try this ASAP!
I saw that guest post and I was drooling then, but your addition of spinach….phew, I think I need a napkin. Yum. I’m a hot sauce kinda gal, myself!
do you have Tiajuana Flat’s near you? It’s a tex-mex quick service with a HOT SAUCE BAR! Heaven.
mmm…i love savory oats! enjoy your walk!
mmmm isn’t Alison a genius? I love her blog. Your version looks just perfect! Happy Friday!
