Friends don’t let friends eat boring oatmeal.

Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Steel Cut Oats

Make some.

1 cup steel cut oats

4 cups water

Bring oats and water to a boil and then reduce heat and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until thick. Stir in about 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 3-4 tbsp. brown sugar, a few shakes of cinnamon.

Place 1/4 of the cooked oats into a bowl {makes about 4 servings} and add a little coconut almond milk and some toppings of choice: shredded coconut, pecans, almonds, raisins, craisins or sliced bananas.

Store the rest in the ‘fridge for easy breakfasts during the week.

I’m addicted.

You’re welcome.

I’ve kicked around the idea of drinking more tea lately. Maybe not replacing my morning cup of joe with it, but sitting and enjoying a cup in the afternoons especially now that the weather has cooled down {and it’d better stay that way!}.

This afternoon Holden and I were killing time in Goodwill while Elliott was at catechism.

I spotted this and knew I needed it for $2.99…

Isn’t she lovely?

She just had to leave with me and become home to steeping Candy Cane Green Tea from Trader Joe’s in a matter of weeks. I will be STALKING my TJ’s for this tea and HOARDING it since I was a day late and a dollar short last season.

Yes, my posts will go from all things pumpkin to all things peppermint before you know it.

Fasten your holiday seat belts….once Halloween is over it’s all {downhill} from there.

Have a blessed rest of the week!
