Goooooood morning, world! If you’ve been following along on my Facebook page, you know that this past weekend was crazy for me. So busy traveling to/from Midway, KY, running a half marathon, catching up (and meeting new) friends. It’s been a whirlwind, and superbly amazing. I can’t wait to tell you all about it. If you haven’t followed along, here’s a sneak peek.
In the meantime, I have a delicious recipe for you today. Since it’s getting cool and very fall-like up in my area, I figure it’s time to share all the cool weather favorites. It’s for Apple and Pear Baked Oatmeal. If you don’t like apples or pears, feel free to substitute for a fruit you prefer. Some suggestions include banana, peach, strawberries, or blueberries. I got the original recipe from the Oh She Glows cookbook, but have adjusted it a little to my family’s taste preferences.
Enjoy!
