Strawberry and Coconut Cream Overnight Oatmeal Parfaits

August 19, 2016 by Faith 8 Comments

Strawberry and Coconut Cream Overnight Oatmeal Parfaits are perfect for grabbing on-the-go for breakfast or dessert.

People who know me know are always shocked to hear that I went through a hoarding phase as a kid. It’s true though; I used to have what I called “collections” of basically random junk, including everything from rocks, to seashells, to buttons, to scruffy Barbies that were past their prime. I rarely wanted to get rid of anything, no matter how ugly or nonfunctional it was.…

Spiced Maple Peach Oat Crisp

July 29, 2016 by Faith 8 Comments

Spiced Maple Peach Oat Crisp is easy to whip up and perfect for brunch or dessert on a lazy summer day. There are few things that say late summer better than a perfectly ripe peach with its intensely juicy sweetness. If summer flavor could be bottled, it would be liquid gold peach juice that’s the color of sunshine....

Savory Oatmeal Breakfast Bowls with Smoky Garlic Greens and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette

January 18, 2016 by Faith 13 Comments

Savory Oatmeal Breakfast Bowls with Smoky Garlic Greens and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette is a delicious way to get in a serving of whole grains and vegetables early in the day! I’m really not fussy about my oats. I’ll take them just about any way I can get them: savory or sweet, whipped, steel-cut, made into granola, baked into muffins, and of course in cookie form. But one day I stumbled on a way of making oats that was a bit of a revelation for me....

Oatmeal Golden Raisin Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze {Vegan}

February 18, 2015 by Faith 27 Comments

I make a ridiculous amount of muffins. They’re the perfect thing when you want to use up a little bit of coconut milk or the last 1/4 cup of a few different kinds of nuts or dried fruit, or if you have an apple or banana that isn’t good for much else except baking....

Irish Oatmeal with Hot Buttered Cinnamon Apples {Giveaway}

November 30, 2012 by Faith 116 Comments

Have you ever had Irish oatmeal? Or maybe you know it by a different name, such as pinhead oats or steel-cut oats? If you’re not familiar, steel-cut oats are oats from which the inedible outer husk has been removed. The oat groats (the inner part of the oat kernels) are cleaned, and then chopped into three or four small pieces as they’re passed through steel cutters. Whatever you call it, this dish is a delicious and very healthy whole grain....

Savory Oatmeal

July 18, 2012 by Faith 24 Comments

I have absolutely nothing to say for myself. I first saw a recipe for savory oatmeal on Penny De Los Santos’ blog going on two years ago. Two years it took me to try it for myself. (Bottom line, I need to start working through my “to-make” recipe list faster. The problem is, once I finally make something and realize how amazing it is, it’s hard to keep it out of regular rotation. And thus continues the vicious cycle of not working through my list.)...

Pumpkin Spice Granola

November 11, 2011 by Faith 41 Comments

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola is perfect for keeping on hand for quick breakfasts throughout the week! I try not to, but every time my pantry granola stash runs low I have a strange sense of urgency to hurry up and make a new batch. I have no idea why this is, but for some strange reason granola has that effect on me…I guess I just love having it around....

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

September 9, 2011 by Faith 27 Comments

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (also called Oatmeal Scotchies and Oatmeal Scotch Chippers) are a delicious pairing of sweet butterscotch, nutty walnuts, and hearty oats! Another summer gone, and gosh, it went fast. I remember as a kid, summers seemed to be never-ending; I’d spend hours each day riding my bike, swimming, or exploring, only surfacing to eat and sleep. And when summer ended and school started up again I actually felt refreshed…like I had had a sufficient break. Not so anymore; summers these days are a fleeting moment or a passing glance....

Bananas Foster Oats

March 18, 2011 by Faith 23 Comments

Bananas Foster Oats turns a classic dessert into a healthy breakfast! Ok, I confess…I made this recipe a long time ago. (Actually, I made it recently too, but that’s because I make it all the time; I took these pictures when I made this a really long time ago.) At the time I felt like I had just posted a whole slew of oatmeal recipes, and lest you all see me for the oatmeal junkie I am, I was planning to withhold this recipe for a few weeks in hopes that you wouldn’t catch on to my oatmeal addiction. (And yes, now I’ve gone and […]...

Carrot Cake Oatmeal

January 24, 2010 by Faith 20 Comments

This Carrot Cake Oatmeal is a great recipe to help you get your vegetables in early! Dessert for breakfast, anyone? Special days require cake for breakfast, like birthdays or holidays. Other days (you know those cold, dark, or stormy winter days), the allure of cake for breakfast is the only thing that will get you out of bed in the morning. Either way, cake for breakfast should be embraced instead of frowned upon. After all, cake can be healthy, right?...
