Baked Oatmeal Cups

I pretty much eat one of two options for breakfast every morning during the week.  It’s either cereal or a Clif bar. Occasionally I have to grab a handful of nuts and a Kashi cookie on my way out the door. 😉 I’m not a morning person at all and sleep until the last possible […]

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars

I was looking for a quick and easy dessert to put together to take somewhere and came across these bars and thought they looked fabulous. I immediately got into the kitchen and whipped these up in no time.  They were really good, dense and chewy and cookie like.  These are great to take to a […]

Chewy S’mores Granola Bars

As promised, here are the granola bars that I made with the Applesauce Granola that I posted last week.  I always used to love getting the Quaker Chewy Granola bars and the S’mores were always my favorite, so when I came across a recipe for a homemade version I knew I had to try them! […]

Stovetop Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal

Since it’s resolution/healthy eating time, I thought I would share a healthy breakfast that my mom recently introduced me to. I’m not a fan of oatmeal normally, but I have loved Chick-fil-A’s oatmeal, so my mom thought I would really like this since it tastes similar.  I really enjoyed it! It had a bit chewier […]

Oatmeal Cream Pies

OH MY WORD!! This is one of those “make right now” recipes! These were even better than their little debbie counterparts. I wanted to make a dessert for a youth retreat we were having and immediately my mind went to these homemade oatmeal cream pies because what kid doesn’t love little debbies? They turned out […]

Baked Oatmeal with Fresh Peaches

As I’ve posted before, I am not a huge fan of oatmeal. I have come to tolerate it some, but it’s definitely not my favorite. So I thought baked oatmeal would be a nice alternative. After getting some wonderful peaches at a local produce spot, I thought it would be great to add in peaches. […]

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes

As soon as I saw these whole wheat oatmeal pancakes on Cate’s World Kitchen, I immediately planned for us to have breakfast for dinner this past weekend! These did not disappoint! They had great texture and were sweet yet nutty. They didn’t give that overly wheaty taste, but had a great balance of flavors. They […]

My Oatmeal Accomplishment

I just had to tell you all my big achievement. I ate an entire bowl of oatmeal last week. Crazy as it sounds, I really don’t think I have ever eaten a bowl of oatmeal. I have always HATED oatmeal. And I’ve given it a fair shot. I’ve tried and tried to like it in […]

Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

I had seen these cookies in my google reader and knew I had everything on hand to make them, so I thought they would be great to take to a potluck picnic that we went to on Monday night. These turned out so great. They were so soft and chewy. If you love butterscotch, you […]

One of my favorite blogs to read is the Fitnessista. She has so many good tips for healthy eating and living and just seems like such a fun person. I always get excited when I see her posts pop up in my google reader. For a while, she has mentioned eating a breakfast cookie and […]
