Lots of lovely oatmeals - thanks A Beautiful Mess!
I'm a breakfast gal. I just don't do well without something in my tummy first thing in the morning. While I LOVE donuts, scrambled eggs and bacon, I know that having something more balanced will set a better tone for my day. Enter oatmeal!
Oatmeal is magical! It's good for you (most types have more than 3 grams of soluble fiber - the cholesterol lowering kind! - per serving) and the complex carbs digest slowly so that you don't want to cut someone for a Snickers bar by 11 a.m. Most importantly (to me) it's diverse: you can get super crazy flavors at your local grocery store or add delicious things to plain varieties (My favorites are Irish Oatmeal and Quaker Rolled Oats). Plus, what other breakfast food has a hilarious comic site named after it? Not so fast Raisin Bran.
Today after my walk (HOLLA!) I whipped up a bowl of Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal after seeing the recipe on A Beautiful Mess.
I tweaked the recipe a bit with what I had on hand - here's what I did:
"How long did that take, Sarah? I don't have all day!" This entire process took about 5 minutes - so no longer than making a bagel or something (definitely less time than frying bacon!) So BOOM - better breakfast in less time!

Pumpkin pie oatmeal sounds amazing!! I'm definitely going to try that as soon as possible. We make Apple pie oatmeal a lot. Same idea just with thin slices of apple and apple pie spices.
Oooh! Emily that sounds delicious - especially for a fall breakfast (all the good apples at the store!) Thanks for the tip!
