  • Sweet Apple Cider Oatmeal

    I have been going through apple cider like nobody’s business. I bought a gallon of it in Apple Hill and slowly had a small glass almost everyday until it went away.  Preston tried to pour himself a gigantic glass full and I set him straight 😉 so it lasted for a nice long time.  Just…

  • Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Smoothie

    Got a smoothie for you today with some weird ingredients.  Oatmeal (but you’ve seen me do that again and again! and again! ) and an apple.  Blended with some more common smoothie ingredients.  It’s cinnamony deliciousness first thing in the morning.  That tastes like oatmeal cookie batter.  Soooo happy.

  • Apricot Macadamia Oatmeal Cookies

      Happy Friday!!! I am definitely looking forward to a pretty calm relaxing weekend (well, I’m trying to make it calm and relaxing, but we’ll see what actually happens!) to recoup from last weekend. I already mentioned the mass birthday celebrations from last weekend, but I did not mention cookies!!!  On Sunday, I went to…

    Juice & Smoothie Week Post #2!  Here’s the definition of a portable breakfast: your morning coffee and your morning oatmeal in one glass.  Drinkable.    Sounds weird, right?    Well, it doesn’t taste weird!  It tastes like a rich, doughy, blended coffee-flavored milkshake.  So good.

  • Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes w/ Cinnamon Maple Frosting

      Oooookay.  These pancakes taste like cookies.  Amazingly wonderful frosted cookies.   I got the idea for these while eating an oatmeal cookie whoopie pie with cinnamon buttercream filling from Sugar Plum Vegan in Sacramento.  Mmmmm. 

  • New Flora: Steel-Cut Oatmeal + Many Oatmeal Ideas

        Okay, I know steel-cut oatmeal is nowhere near new for many people.  But it is new to me, and I am so excited about it that I had to share.  But I thought I’d prevent boredom in oatmeal fans by also sharing my repertoire of tips, tricks, and recipes to make oatmeal a…

  • Apple Pie Oatmeal

    Here is a really fun way to spice up your morning oatmeal!  Add apple pie spices and sauteed apples onto cinnamon-filled oatmeal.  Yum!    This apple pie topping is adapted from a Cooking Light recipe for a topping to French toast, which I started putting on everything.  On top of oatmeal is a huge success.  

  • “Fisher Price” Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls

    One of my favorite treats growing up!  My mom calls these “Fisher Price” because the recipe actually came with some Fisher Price toys that my sister and I had.  The original recipe is filled with tons of honey, instant dry milk (gross!), and was impossible to make with natural peanut butter.    Now they’re revamped! …
