Thanks for being patient while I get the hang of fitting blogging into my schedule. I’m working on finding ways to all those everyday human things.
One thing I can already tell is going to be a big thing for me is do-ahead breakfasts. My two recent favorites are overnight oats that get reheated. While I posted a post on cold overnight oats a while ago, I’ve been making a version with skim milk that’s just as good warm as it is cold. 
Raechel at the Rebel Grrl Kitchen gave me the idea to make overnight steel-cut oats. Dude, why had I never done this before? I actually made mine with water instead of almond milk, and it was so freaking good. 
In a microwave-safe dish, I mixed:
- 1/4 steel-cut oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger to taste
- vanilla extract
- 1 small chopped pear (optional)
- ~3/4 c water
I mixed all the ingredients and let them sit covered in the fridge overnight. In the a.m., I uncovered the bowl and microwaved it for about 2minutes and 45 seconds. Topped with PB, it was delicious and lasted me until a late lunch!
What breakfast are you loving lately?

This will be a great recipe for me! I love overnight oats, though lately (with it being frigid here in WI and all, I can never muster up any deviation from my hot morning oats
Now I can have both! (kinda…) haha thank you
Hope you enjoy : )
This is a simple, easy, rustic and healthy breakfast. It will keep the blood sugar levels down and keep you full for a long time. At the same time, it is very light on the stomach.
Very interesting. My family eats a lot of oats. I rotate between smoothies, juices, egg-things (boil in advance) and coconut yogurt. Love your PB addition.
PB on oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast combinations. I’ve never had coconut yogurt, but it sounds delicious!
Hooray! So glad you liked it! : )
Thanks for the inspiration!
