Fall Flavors


I'll be the first one to admit that Pinterest can be a huge time suck. I can spend an entire naptime pinning crafty projects that I'll never get around to. What I have found Pinterest especially useful for is recipes, though.

Every Sunday when I'm making our menu for the week, I consult my food pinboard and see what strikes my fancy. This week I made this delicious pumpkin coffee cream (recipe originally from Deliciously Organic). So. Dang. Good.
 
I'm also loving this yummy baked oatmeal recipe from 20by20. One recipe is enough to make breakfast for a week or you can double and stick the rest in the freezer for next week too.

A friend of mine substituted pureed pumpkin for oil and said it was delish. Me? I accidentally omitted the oil altogether in my first batch. Turned out okay, though! I added raisins to my second batch. It was kind of like an oatmeal raisin cookie for breakfast.

Who doesn't love fall?

  3. Hehe. I'm old too then, Ashley (I'm assuming it's Ashley and not Shane. Ya never know though... :-P). It's difficult for me to read too, but unfortunately I think it's permanent. I will talk with the designer, though! Thanks for the feedback. :-)
