It’s true, oatmeal is typically not my breakfast food of choice. But, when I was getting ready for the Christmas Eve Brunch that Sam and I hosted for our families at our house, I stumbled across this delicious recipe on Pinterest.
Many of you also know that I am obsessed with My CROCK-POT. Well, I should probably say my CROCK-POT collection of all shapes, sizes, and patterns. And I have my eye on another new one as well! The one you see in the picture is my very first CROCK-POT, bought for my by my favorite Auntie Kathy when I moved into my first apartment.
Follow this link to find the original recipe for this Apple Cinnamon, Steel-Cut Oatmeal. The original recipe is delicious, but we made the following tweeks to it, the second time.
I did not include the optional butter. It just felt like wasted calories.
I used 3 apples instead of 2. Who doesn’t like more apples?
I added 2 more teaspoons of brown sugar.
I added 1/4 cup of craisins.
Finally, we topped this oatmeal off with heavy cream and candied walnuts. It went over really well, and it tasted like dessert!
Hi! I'm Ian, and the handsome blond guy with me is my husband Sam. We are newlyweds, starting our new life together. We love our home and always strive to make our home a comfortable and inviting place for our family and friends. What makes a house a home? I think it's all about living authentically and comfortably. Your home should be your haven that fits you like your favorite pair of jeans. Living comfortably and authentically means that you are surrounded by people and things that you love.
My philosophy is simply--if you love it, it's perfect! Does everything in your home have to match? NO! Decorate with what you like the way you like it. Does everything you cook have to be low calorie? NO! I strive to cook healthy meals, but I will always love butter and heavy cream. Do I always have to wear designer brands? NO! I love to buy designer brands to decorate my home and to wear, but I refuse to pay full price. Believe me, you can always get what you want on sale or clearance if you learn to shop well, use the right coupons, and peruse the clearance aisle.
