My recent love!

 So, for awhile now I have been trying to find some recipes to use steel cut oats in, because A.) they are healthy for you, and make you feel full longer, and B.) I have seriously pounds of these little nuggets in my pantry. Why you ask? I have no fa-reaking idea. The Steel cut oat fairy clearly visits me and dumps off these little granules when I am not looking, and I never really knew how many times she has visited until I looked recently! ( I am sorry to report little fairy, that I only eat dinosaur egg oatmeal, you know the type kids? It has the eggs in it...and you pour hot water on it, and it hatches little dinos? OH YES...this magical thing exists...

"Cue the heavenly music"

Anyway...back to steel cut oats

Holy Aunt Jemima! I need to get rid of these babies.

So looked on allrecipes.com (HOLLA) to see what I could use with these! If you have never been to this website..seriously check it out! They have a recipe finder where you put the ingredients that you want to use...or don't want to use..and it finds you stuff. Amazeballs.

It is perfect for me..since I really don't ever throw anything out..and HATE wasting...I still have Nerds from Christmas I am trying to think of using in a recipe....details to follow.

Anyways..I came up with this slow cooker/steel cut oats thing..to try. You basically put everything in your crockpot..and it cooks on low overnight, and then you wake up to breakfast and a crap ton of oats...like seriously they last me for a week! MM..

So here is the recipe..and unfortunately..I am lame..and did not take pics...well I might be able to take a pic... un momento...

But until then...recipe..

Ingredients

• 2 cups steel cut oats
• 2 cups diced apple
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 2 teaspoons butter

Directions

1. Combine the oats, apple, cranberries, almonds, pecans, water, milk, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and butter in a slow cooker. Cook on Low overnight or 8 hours

A few of the other people that made this..said that they had to be careful because theirs burned? Mine did not..I do have an older crock pot..so don't know if that makes a difference..but it is amazing. In the morning, I dish mine up with milk and some brown sugaaaa...and MMm.. Away I go...and I am the type where I am usually hungry an hour after I eat...so this usually lasts me until lunchy.

Warning kids..the picture does not look appetizing..but it really is delicious!

Anyways enjoy kittens

Love you all times PI
