Recipe~ Soaked Oatmeal

Hello! 
I honestly have to admit that I don't particularly like to pose and have my pictures taken... So we won't be doing a fashion post today (because of the lack of pictures). How about a recipe instead? 

Here's a yummy and easy breakfast recipe that doesn't involve much prepping, and is great if you want a quick, healthy breakfast. It only takes about 10 minutes to cook!



What You Need:
2 cups oats
4 cups water
3 apples, peeled and chopped
3 tsp cinnamon, separated
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp powdered ginger 
butter
honey
    
 What To Do:
1. The night before, pour 2 cups of oats in a large bowl and cover with water. Cover bowl with a towel and let sit over night. In the morning, drain and rinse your soaked oats.
2. Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil and add in the oats.
3. Bring oats down to a simmer, and let cook for about 7 minutes, or until they become the consistency you prefer. Mix in 2 tsp cinnamon.
4. While your oats are cooking, put your chopped apples in a small pan with a chunk of butter, remaining cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. 
5. Put a lid over the apples and let them simmer for a few minutes, until they are soft and bubbly.
6. To serve, top the oatmeal with a chunk of butter, a scoop of apples, and a drizzle of honey.



Can you see all that melted butter and honey? Yum!
I love oatmeal, do you? Mom has a hard time getting it down, so I try to spice it up for her!

I hope you enjoy this recipe. I would love to know if you tried it, or what kind of variation you did! 

Have a good night!

Let's Make...

Homemade Chunky Applesauce!

 This recipe is so easy and delicious! Here's what you'll need...

Applesauce  Recipe

20 apples, any variety, pealed and chopped
1 cup raw honey
3 Tablespoons water
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Potato smasher

Now that you have your ingredients, let's get started! Put all of your ingredients together in a large pot and let simmer for 30 - 45 minutes with a lid on, stirring occasionally. Once the apples are softened, whip out your trusty potato smasher and smash away! You can only get them smashed so much, but if you want a creamier sauce, you could always use an immersion blender or food processor. Let the sauce thicken up and cook until the apples are translucent, about 15 more minutes.




When your sauce is the way you like it, pour or spoon it into jars. Now you just made your very own Homemade Applesauce. Give yourself a pat on the back! I just love this recipe and it tastes so good! It's like apple pie without the crust! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
