pumpkin pie slow cooker overnight oatmeal

11/01/2013 by · 35 Comments

Easy, festive, delicious, pumpkin pie… for breakfast!

And no, not the ‘sneak-a-piece-of-leftover-pie-while-the-kids-aren’t-looking’ kind of breakfast. A fuel-packed oatmeal that you can happily feed your family, with little prep the night before and no work in the morning!!

How good does that sound?!

As I sit here enjoying my second bowl today (and thinking about how happily all my kids ate their breakfast this morning), I am pretty confident that you will like this one.

Unless you don’t like pumpkin, of course. Then you might as well not bother with this one, and instead make my original overnight steel-cut oatmeal or my eggnog slow cooker oatmeal!

naturally gluten-free mini monster cookies

10/25/2013 by · Leave a Comment

What do I mean by “naturally” gluten-free? I simply mean that this recipe is, and always has been, gluten-free… without any alterations, substitutions or weird ingredients.

I just realized that maybe not everyone knew that little tidbit already, and some of you may be excited to hear it.

Others of you may just be hearing about all this “gluten-free” stuff and might like having a little something in your arsenal for when a gluten-free baking opportunity or need presents itself.

We don’t eat gluten-free around here (although I have had to do a few gluten-free trials for my kids, so I am well aware of how difficult it can be!), but I have several friends and family members who can’t have gluten, and I love being able to spoil them just as much as everyone else.

Food allergies shouldn’t mean you can’t enjoy life’s little pleasures, you know?

fresh oven roasted pumpkin seeds

10/10/2013 by · 1 Comment

You know how every year you carve pumpkins and throw away all that orange gloppy mess full of seeds out of the insides?

Well, stop doing that! :o)

It just takes a few minutes to sort through the insides to get out all the seeds, and it is so worth it!

(I bet you can’t guess which one was mine!)

I have so many fun memories of carving pumpkins growing up, but I have to tell you, the highlight every single year was snacking on the seeds that my mom roasted while we carved our pumpkins.

They were just so good. Lots of butter, a good hit of seasoned salt or salt & pepper, and you’ve got one of my all-time favorite fall treats.
