This morning my grandma made me laugh out loud when she tried overnight oats for the first time.
Last night before bed I made myself a bowl of overnight oats for breakfast. My aunt and grandma were rather skeptical when I told them about the combination of oats, Greek yogurt and milk, but promised me they’d try it in the morning.
My aunt and grandma tried the oats this morning and my grandma’s reaction cracked me up.
“Well isn’t that just the strangest taste!?”
Priceless! I’m not sure overnight oats are her thing. 
I ate the rest of my bowl along with a sliced apple before my mom and I drove to spend the afternoon with my other grandma at her senior living community center.
Hi Nana! 
We arrived just in time for lunch and joined my grandma in her dining hall and met a bunch of her friends over cheesecake. Some of the women absolutely cracked me up when they started talking about the men who live in the senior community center, saying they’re “always in the way” and that they “think they’re God’s gift to women.” They were so sassy!
My grandma’s room is decorated with a bunch of her favorite collectables (she collects little shoes) and pictures of our family.
That is my dad’s senior photo from high school. My mom said this picture was taken the year she started dating my dad! My mom and dad were actually in the same kindergarten class in Gettysburg, but didn’t officially start dating until my dad was a senior in high school and my mom was a junior. High school sweethearts!
It was sad to say goodbye to my grandma but we had a very nice afternoon together.
When we arrived back at my other grandma’s house, I dug into her box of chocolates.
After biting into one with a nasty cherry-like nougat filling, I learned my lesson and used the little key chart to select a chocolate truffle and coconut chocolate which appealed to me much more!
Much better!
It’s just about time for dinner, so I’m off to grab the roasted vegetables out of the oven and hang out with my family. Shrimp and scallops are calling to me!
Question of the Day
- Have you ever convinced someone to try a funky food that you love? What did they think of it?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
We got a box of Harry Potter jelly beans one time. The flavors included vomit, booger and ear wax. I was actually the most brave and tried them all. But I was able to convince my kids to try them after I did. Super gross by the way!
Also just wanted to say that I was touched with all your pictures of your grandmothers. I have lost both of mine and miss those special times so much. You are blessed to still have them in your life. 🙂
I love that your grandma collects little shoes. My grandma did the same thing, and each year for Christmas we would give her a new shoe to add to the collection.
This is the sweetest post. Grandmas are so special. And I have to say that I’ve seen that same quote twice today, and for the firs time today too! Weird!
My family thinks the pictures of my food look gross. So, no, they won’t try it.
I adore you grandma’s little shoe collection. So cute!
LOVE that quote about the amateurs building the ark and professional building the titanic. Would you mind if I borrow that for my blog?
I make those energy bites ALL THE TIME and i love them i gave my mom the recipe and she made them and my dad absolutely loves them! which is odd because my family never really likes my healthy concoctions!
My bf hates natural pb- which I adore. I’ve made him try it and he still thinks I’m crazy to love it- I think he’d be the odd one out here haha
LOL, your Grandma’s comment about overnight oats sounds like the equivalent to the people-related comment of “well bless her heart” 😀
