I really, really don't know how to function without this oatmeal to start my day. The pumpkin flavour is my favourite, though make sure you add something with a crunch or the texture will be off-putting. Pretty much any flavour combination works--the apricot is fabulous (I subbed in blood orange marmalade and it was delish).
I made this recipe with pretty much all the bells and whistles (and it looked nothing as pretty as this). It seems like a lot of steps for a) tea and b) something that tastes like a Chai latte but yellow... HOWEVER. If you are a health nut like I am, it's worth being loyal to the recipe for all the benefits of the many ingredients. It's not the taste, it's the sum of its parts that makes this one so good (and good for you!). And as far as my previous complaint is concerned: If something this good for you tastes like a Chai latte... what is there to lose?

If you do follow me on Instagram, you know that a series of ridiculous events led to me filling my freezer with soup. The recipe above was my starting point for what I've nicknamed "Mexi-Minestrone". My big adjustment was adding tomatoes, pasta shells, corn, and cumin. I also swapped out the beans for black beans... I think the nickname is justified, no?
...last but not least....
(I will eventually get around to updating old watermarks.... probably... maybe...)

I realize it isn't autumn. Trust me, I am very aware of it. However. I have been storing a full red kuri squash for months and wanted to do something lovely with it... And honestly, I only know how to do one thing with it, and that's make cozies. Check out my Instagram feed for the completely unnecessary step by step photos if you feel so inclined... :)
