Kristen, prompted

July 4, 2022

Red, White, and Blue

I was sitting here at my desk, eating my breakfast, and I glanced up at the photo prompt list.

“Red, White, and Blue”, it said. I thought of an American flag, of course, and realized I don’t have one here.

And then I looked down at my cereal bowl and realized that it met the prompt requirements just fine. 😉

bowl of cereal topped with fruit.

I eat oatmeal during the cold months, but in the summer, this is my usual breakfast: plain shredded wheat, topped with berries. Sometimes I eat overnight oats, if I’ve thought ahead.

But most times I have not thought ahead, so cereal it is!

    Funny, my morning breakfast would have qualified, had I seen this post before I consumed it ;-). What did I eat? Glad you asked. Base later: Kristen’s Clumpalicious Granola, with super sale purchased Chobani Plain Yogurt (bright white) on top, followed by strawberries (red) and blackberries (close enough). Thanks for getting my mornings off to a good start, on red, white, and blue holidays and lots of other non-holi-days!

    I love overnight oats and have recently started making them. I’ve been adding chia seeds and occasionally flax seeds. It gives me the opportunity to eat fresh fruit on top as well. Could you share your recipe if it’s not already on your blog? Thanks. 😀

      I don’t have a favorite one; I usually just google for whatever sounds good to me that day (for instance, I might look up one for carrot cake overnight oats, or chocolate overnight oats.)

        I like to add a small dollop of strawberry jam and peanut butter, as well as sliced almonds when I make it. When I eat it, I top it with a small amount of little choc chips, more almonds and a sliced banana and raspberries. It turns into 2 meals easily! I feel noble tho because I’m not naturally a fruit lover or eater.

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
