Breakfast of Champions


I love making oatmeal in the morning for breakfast. Sometimes when I feel like spoiling myself I'll boil milk instead of water before adding in the oats. With a dash of salt, a proper amount of butter, and some heaping spoons of brown sugar my favorite breakfast dish is ready to be devoured with a side of toast! I love the new commercial Quaker Oats has with people strapping on their rocket packs fueled with oatmeal, that's definitely the way to go.

C is for...


I awake to a familiar waft of sweetness dancing in the air around me. Like a lamb looking for his Keeper, I find myself following this heavenly scent.  Entering our kitchen I spot the culprit, Yes! homemade chocolate chip cookies. Fresh out of the oven, I'm excited for them to cool down. Hmm, waiting isn't my forte, so I  partake of the hotness...ouch! burn, burn, ooh melted chocolate...I love cookies...this was so worth it. A moment of euphoria experienced before a polite interruption. I'm asked to bring the plate out for all to try. Thank goodness there's only three adults and one baby in our household!
