Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats

The end of residency is always bittersweet. I’ve made amazing friends and met wonderful mentors who I’ll miss a lot.

Moving is always a pain, but it’s good for forcing one to clean out any clutter. It’s amazing how many things, especially old/no longer used/unwanted things, you can accumulate in a few years. Nike was not a fan of all the boxes (especially because one fell on her, poor puppy).

We hired movers since we are moving quite a bit of furniture (my husband’s advice to single guy friends – “date an Amazonian woman, not a tiny shrimp, so you don’t have to carry everything yourself”). We also hired a one time cleaning service – the first time we ever had a cleaning service. The convenience and help was well worth the money for both, and felt like one step forward in being an adult.

Moving went as smoothly as moving can be; my furniture and my husband’s furniture made it down to Philadelphia mostly unscathed, minus one couch leg. I’m excited about our new apartment since (in additional to finally living together with B) for the in unit laundry, our fancy kitchen, and having a gym in the building.

I’m sharing a recipe for my chocolate strawberry overnight oats – I made a lot of servings ahead of time so I could have breakfast easily on busy morning. Taza Chocolate of course always makes it delicious.
