I always forget that I can check out my favorite magazines at the library, keeping them for up to a week. Last week when I went there I stocked up on reading material, including some cooking magazines (shocker). I am probably one of the last people on Earth that has yet to get a Kindle, Nook or iPad. That doesn't mean I don't want one badly though!
Hopefully one will come in due time. I keep wishing.
A version of this baked oatmeal was in one of the magazines and was calling my name. I wanted something we could eat on for a few breakfasts in a row. It kept great in the fridge and I just kept reheating the leftovers and pouring a little milk over top each morning.
The little miss devoured it and the little man kept saying "I don't like it". You win some, you lose some, I guess.
Baked Blueberry Oatmeal
*feel free to substitute any fruit
2 c. old-fashioned oats
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 t. pumpkin pie spice
1/4 t. salt
1 1/4 c. milk
2 T. butter, melted
1 c. fresh blueberries
1/4 c. chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray. Meanwhile in a large bowl combine oats, brown sugar, and spices. Stir in the milk, blueberries and melted butter. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Transfer to dish, sprinkle with nuts. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.
And now for my giveaway! I just couldn't pass these classy cookie cutters up this past weekend. I got a pair for a good friend and a pair for my blog friends. Wouldn't they be just perfect to cut out some cute tea sandwiches, sugar cookies or even sliced watermelon for your next girl's night out?
I even thought of cutting out some brownies with them.
But then again, my mind always reverts back to chocolate. Sorry.
So, do you want to win these? It's easy-peasy, just answer the below question. And then pass on my blog to all your foodie friends. They might want a chance at winning too.
Would you rather have a fancy drink or a classy pair of high heels on your next night out? Sorry, guys, answer for your wife, girlfriend, or inner-lady.
I'll choose one random winner this coming Friday. Ready. Set. Go!

ReplyDeleteHow adorable are those!? I would definitely take a cocktail...I'm already 5'11 so heels are not a good look for me! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....if I can't have both then I'll take the classy pair of high heels. Especially if I have a killer dress to wear with them.
