July 21, 2011

It’s Recipe Redux time again!  Last month the challenge was grilling.  This month we are sharing summer drink recipes.

Overnight Oats

March 8, 2011

Meet my newest breakfast obsession, overnight oats.  I wanted to try overnight oats because I don’t like the texture of instant oats, and I want breakfast faster than the time it takes to cook rolled oats.  Overnight oats take 2 minutes to throw together at night and 2 minutes to heat up in the morning [...]
