Honeydew Overnight Oatmeal

For the most part, I have transitioned beautifully to urban life. I love public transportation, bustling sidewalks, diverse eateries, and city parks surrounded by cement and skyscrapers. The one thing that continues to challenge me is grocery shopping.

I do not own a car in New Jersey, so I either walk or take public transit. I have several different grocery options, but all of which are at least a mile away. This is not a terrible walk, but it can get uncomfortable when I'm lugging heavy grocery bags. Thus, items like melons, squash, and big cartons of almond milk can be a pain.

I treated myself last weekend to a big, beautiful honeydew. Carrying it royally sucked, but it was worth it once I cut into it, and blended it into this oatmeal. :)
