My Favorite Oatmeal Breakfast

I’ve always been a bit whatever about oatmeal. I mean, those lil satchels with maple brown sugar goodness from my childhood? I’m kinda into those. But oatmeal served up adult-style? Nah. Until I tried making it with almond milk infused with a bit of vanilla, cinnamon and honey. THEN things changed for me. I’ve been making this basically every morning. I think my mom is probably totally proud. She’s always been an oatmeal-loving-lady. Ordering it…

Scones Forever

Because breakfast wins best meal award*. (*Based on the dessert-as-a-meal-thing, obvz.) Because my countertops are covered with dishes and my bed is covered with laundry. Because my car seats are covered in sesame seeds from emergency bagel-ing on the regular. Because I’m good at running out of milk, cereal, bread for toasting, and general breakfast foods. Because I took a 2-hour nap Saturday and then ran out of daylight. Because my favorite cowboy boots are…

Maple Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream

Sometimes my horoscope sounds like a card in Monopoly. It’s all “Your plumbing might have problems. Get an estimate!” Other times, Susan Miller is all, “October is HARD. Mid-November your life will begin to sparkle again.” I’m pushing my way through these early fall months with ice cream. My days can sparkle a little bit here and there based on bites of this stuff, ya know? And I’ve been wearing my frumpy fleece and walking…

Chocolate Chip Cookies Forever

Because I’m hungry for every single chocolate chip cookie remix ever. Because the other day I pumped gas and it overflowed on my foot. Because it’s so cold in my apartment. Because I can’t find matching socks. Because I have dishes to put away. Because I’m currently using my pre-teen boom box to listen to music at home. Because I can’t save snacks until I’m hungry at work. Because I laid in the sun on…

Mrs. Fields Cookies (revisited)

When it comes to the weekend I require big breakfasts, naps galore, and freshly baked cookies. So to ensure the cookie part of my weekend, I whipped up this dough Friday after work and popped it in the fridge for casual Saturday baking. Feel free to do the same to bake at your leisure! And these cookies are by far one of my very favorites. There is plenty of ground oatmeal in each bite, giving them…

Lemony Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

I ate one of these cookies before dinner yesterday. It was a cookie appetizer, and it was necessary. Then I made a salad for dinner, ate a truffle santa, and listened to Mariah Carey Fantasy the remix. Just an average night, really. But these cookies are the opposite of average. They are super lemony refreshing! One glance at their casual outfits, you wouldn’t suspect the tasty citrus flavor punch sandwiched in each bite. (Are you…

No Bake Cookies in Cupcake Outfits

These taste just like the no bake cookies from my childhood, but they are wearing cupcake outfits. And they have coconut oil in them instead of butter! You could always pipe a tall billowy frosting on top of these guys. They’d be perfect for a birthday party of the toasty variety. Just no bake some cupcakes and live your life! So, these are healthy little morsels to get you through your week. Pair these with a…

Oatmeal Pancakes

Saturday morning I walked the pup and came home starving only to realize I had a measly amount of cereal, and no bread for toasting. Since I like to start my day with carbs, it was a breakfast emergency. I scavenged around and realized I had just the right amount of stuff to make these oatmeal pancakes! I threw the batter together, and gobbled these up with just enough time to get out the door to…

Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins

I can’t eat oatmeal on it’s own: in a bowl, topped with milk, at the table. I just can’t. But I promise that I will eat it in cookies, scones, and muffins. I will eat these guys standing in the kitchen, over my computer, with a fork (when they’re too hot), and in my backyard with the pup. Breakfast is my favorite. I wake up hungry. And so, on the weekend, I daydream about warm biscuits,…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mini Cupcakes with Cookie Dough Frosting

These cupcakes could never be muffins. They could never be chillin’ in the world frosting-less. Some of them sunk strangely and some broke a little when I took them out of the pan. …but don’t worry, once these guys are frosted they’re lovely! And once you’re eating one you’re happy! You see, they bake up cookie-like. A little bit imperfect and a lot delicious. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cupcakes {makes 33-ish minis} Recipe from How Sweet…
