I have been trying to make more of an effort to make use of all of the food in our pantry and when I was looking for something to make for breakfast this morning I came across 3 giant containers of oatmeal…I wish I was kidding. I like oatmeal, but it’s never been a go to food for me like eggs are, but the bowl I made this morning. Hello, lover.

I mixed half water and half milk and while that was boiling, I cooked apple chunks in cinnamon and a little water so they would steam. After the oats were done I topped them with the apples and one of my most favorite of nut butters.

Mixed everything together and it was like a bowl of Fall goodness and love.

Oatmeal might move up the list of favorite breakfasts after all!!!
For lunch, I was craving a sandwich – these taste so good lately – and went simple. Mustard, ham, swiss and pickles.

So delicious!!! On the side I had some sliced cucumbers

And 1/2 an apple, my little man had the other half.

Since I still have 3 containers of oats left, what would be on your perfect bowl of oatmeal?


love your photos! I wanna steal one of those cucumber slices right out of the picture! haha
Thank you!
I always have a ton of oatmeal around our house, I use it to make granola though. There’s nothing better than a handful of granola on top of some yogurt and fruit
Agreed! I love granola!!
I have a bunch of oatmeal I need to use up too!! It’s steel cut, so I Can’t really use it in cookies or anything… hmmm
I’m thinking of doing apple cinnamon oats…
I don’t like steel cut, I tried, but I just don’t like it!! Apple cinnamon oats are where it’s at!
I just bought 10 lbs of oats. for less then 7 dollars! I like to add dried fruit, yogurt, and of course peanut butter… maybe not all together though!
Yogurt huh? I’ve never tried that one…
I’m not sure why i did it… but it tastes pretty good!
You should bake some yummy bread with your oats!
That is something I’ve never attempted! Do you have a recipe?
This one is good, but I have at least three more I’ll be posting this fall! The pumpkin just makes it to die for!
Way to go on your weight loss of 30 lbs! So fantastic.
I love oatmeal for breakfast, it’s one of my favorites! I like bananas and peanut butter on mine.
Those cucumbers look delicious too!
Bananas! I knew I was forgetting something
Have ALWAYS wanted to try naturally nutty! I forgot all about that stuff! I remember when I first started seeing it pop up last year I believe on lots of blogs! I have to try it!
It’s SO Good!! I bought that jar at a farmer’s market, it’s all gone now
