Breakfast
Clean Machine
Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope that you all slept in – at least a little bit – this morning 🙂 I’m slowly making my way around. I just finished breakfast and am ready to tackle my to-do list. The biggest item on today’s list is cleaning my apartment. It has been way too long since […]

Happy Halloween!
What better way to start this holiday than with a bowl of pumpkin oatmeal? Oh, and Frankie Stein wanted to stop by and say hello again, since he received such a positive response the last time. These oats were fantastic! Here’s the break down: 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup unsweetened […]
