Summer ReCap: Outer Banks Brewing Station

so as much as im over summer, i still wish i could relive it--so im just going to start at the beginning.  my summer started off with a trip to the outer banks--and it was amazinggggg. great weather, great family, great food.  when my family vacations in the outer banks, my sister makes us stick to tradition and go to all of our usual places: goombays, black pelican, blue point.  but this year we added a new tradition--the outer banks brewing station.  loved their beer, and absolutely lovedddddd the food.  i had the scallops with balsamic reduction and summer risoto! if you can get over the crooked rugs hanging on the walls, this place is highly recommended for your next trip to the beach.

OverNight Oats..."Summer Porridge"





new obsession!!!  
i saw overnight oats, i prefer to call it "Summer Porridge" (in an english accent), on pinterest, and finally made it last week.  and guess what, its so good!  i was weirded out by the texture at first and that its cold.  which i guess i knew but was still surprised by--its weird to have cold oatmeal.  plus its not that sweet, which i also just assumed it would be.  BUT once you get over ALL that--you realize its a great breakfast, very healthy, and actually delicious.  it's just a mixture of oats, greek yogurt and milk, with whatever add-ins you like or have on hand.  very simple and easy to make, plus saves you time in the morning.  loves it.
