Baked Rolled Rye and Oatmeal

I found this at the Polish Mexican grocery store near me: it's rolled rye flakes. How could I pass that up? But, uh, what to do with it? So, at the blog Flavor the Moments, I found a delicious recipe for baked oatmeal and I altered it a little:

Apple Blackberry Baked Rye and Oats

Ingredients:
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup rolled rye flakes
1/2 cup steel cut oatmeal
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
2 Pink Lady apples peeled and chopped
1/4-1/3 cup sliced almonds

Instructions
Set the oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8x8" glass baking dish.
Scatter the apple chunks on the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together oats, rye flakes and cinnamon. Pour half of the oat mixture over the apples, then layer with half the blackberries, the remaining oats, and then the remaining blackberries.
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture over the oat mixture. Top with sliced almonds. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until set and golden brown. Let sit for about 10 minutes before enjoying.

Why Yara Greyjoy is rocking fatigue posture

"Fatigue Posture" involves pushing your pelvis forward; you use less muscular energy by essentially hanging on your ligaments. Pretty awful for your bones and organs, and yet, if you look around, you'll see it everywhere. That's because most folks know more about body language than posture. They have no clue that fatigue posture might cause constipation and osteoporosis, but they can read loud and clear the "I'm cool and I'm powerful" message. "I'm cool." "I'm powerful" And there is it, in 6th season, episode 9 of Game of Thrones, Yara and Theon Grayjoy stand in front of Daenerys, beseeching her for support. Through most of the scene, Yara has her hands folded in front of her crotch, very low-power in terms of body language. But she's also in a pronounced fatigue posture! Seemingly contradictory but it speaks volumes about what's going on. And as long as I'm this deep in geeky posture land, let's...

Winter Recess (A Diet Change Rebrand)

The beginning of the year, my husband and I do a "fast." For six weeks we take things out of our diet. Sugar and alcohol are always included and sometimes other things. The first year we did this, we were insanely ambitious: sugar, alcohol, dairy, most meat, all wheat, in fact anything that rhymed with "eat", particularly if it was brown, looked like the moon, or had been blanched. That's my memory at any rate, and no, it did not go well. (Lotsa cheats.) Subsequently, we've been more modest. And generally it has gone better. (I won't lie. There are still cheats.) At the end of this detox, sure, you go back to a retox. But each year (Is it ten years we've done it now?), you go back less. Your tastebuds actually change. You get more sensitive to sugar and stop wanting it so much. You start truly liking and desiring the things that are good for you. It's incredibly valuable. But it is a negation. We take things away. It's hard not to feel ...

A peek in my shoe closet

Strong, healthy feet are important. As Katy Bowman says: Improving intrinsic muscle use in the foot can drastically impact a human’s physiology. Nerve health. Bone density. Osteoarthritis. Pelvic floor disorders. A child’s physical and mental development. A decrease in the 12 BILLION dollars spend annually on lower leg amputations. Diabetes. Metabolism. Balance. Fall risk. Slowly switching over to (i.e. building up the strength for!)minimalist shoes will help. But what are they? And how are they different from "zero drop" shoes? Zero Drop - no difference in height between the sole and the heel. Most shoes, even "flats" have a slight difference. And just because a shoe is zero drop doesn't mean it's minimalist. Minimalist - as close as possible to barefoot. (Zero drop, very flexible sole, and a wide toe box. Some examples: Some shoes I bought in Poland years ago. I hardly ever wear them now. Obviously not minimalist and far from zero drop. They ha...
