I am sharing my FAVORITE healthy and delicious breakfast with you. As you read on, this dish might seem familiar to you and if it does you are not crazy. I got the idea from the "Chilled Swiss Oats" bowl at The Corner Bakery while living in California. However, we do not have this restaurant in Oregon so I had to improvise!
Chilled Oats- Tiffany Style
Ingredients:
Old Fashioned Oats (1/2 cup per person)
Water
Plain Yogurt (1/4 per person)
Banana (1/2 per person)
Green Apple (1/4 per person)
Dried Cranberries (small handful per person)
Brown Sugar (tsp. per person)
**(These amounts are all based on my liking, if you want more of something just make it YOUR WAY! :) )
Instructions:
In a container (that has a lid) pour in your desired amount of oats. Pour cold water over the oats until the oats are just covered. Put the lid on the container. Place this in the fridge overnight to soak the oats (you will not be cooking these). The next morning, take oats from fridge. Combine 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 sliced pieces of banana, 1/4 cup cut up apple, small handful of dried cranberries and tsp of brown sugar. Stir it all together and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!

Community
It has been nearly 2 years since I last posted on our blog! Last we posted, we were finishing school and heading back for Oregon. Let me give a few updates, most of you know, but for others it will keep you up to date with the Anders' life!
We moved to Damascus, OR in May 2010. Four days after we arrived I (Tiffany) started a new job with Adventist Health. Braden was injured shortly after our move and spent the next nine months going through surgery and physical therapy to repair his ACL. Braden applied and got into the Boring (East Clackamas County) Fire Recruit Program and spent all of 2011 and the first part of 2012 in their program. He received his Fire Certification and EMT Certification during this time. After almost two years with Adventist Health, a job opportunity presented itself and I took the position of Marketing Coordinator at Hope Village (a Non-Profit, Retirement Community in Canby, OR). I am now settling in to this job and making connections quickly. Braden is in the process of searching for First Responder positions.
Other highlights:
- Traveling to Southern Uganda last summer to work with children in an orphanage. We built five classrooms and did "bible school" lessons (5 day club style) with children ages 3-15.
- Celebrating our 3 year Anniversary (2010) by going on a surprise (to me anyway) hot air balloon ride over the Willamette River and vineyards in Newberg, OR
- Celebrating our 4 year Anniversary with a weekend trip to Skamania Lodge, kayaking on the Columbia River and spending a day in Hood River.
- The births of 4! new additions to the Maddox family: Lauren Ann to Kevin & Emilie, Titus Giles to Ben & Brandy, Kennedy Elizabeth to Jason & Ranae, and Tessah Fay to Sam & Laura.
- We adopted a 4 month old dog in Sept. 2011. He is a Smooth Coat Fox Terrier and his name is Oakley.
Well that is the update for us! We just celebrated a wonderful Easter with our families and I thinking that I would like to work at being intentional about blogging every so often for people keep up to date with us, even if we haven't seen you in awhile. With work and everyone having kids, life becomes busy and hectic but we we still like to stay connected and in community with one another.
My sister Brandy has started a new website, Purposeful Living, and after reading her posts it inspired me to get back on here and at least give it a try to post what is going on with us to stay in community with one another. It is so important to me to have family and friends in our life to share moments with, speak truth, and to learn from. Our family, friends and church make up our "community". To us, these people are invalueble and really help to shape who we are. It is my goal be intentional about maintaining these relationships and cultivating new ones to really help us grow!!
