Blueberry Almond Baked Oatmeal
Happy Saturday, fellow oatmeal lovers!
It’s so nice to have a Saturday morning at home again. I returned to my usual weekend morning routine of simultaneously making oatmeal and cleaning the kitchen. Why is cleaning the kitchen so cathartic to me?

Berry-Ginger Sauce
To be honest, I’d be happy eating “boring” oatmeal forever. A simple peanut butter and banana oatmeal makes me absolutely giddy. However, because I own an oatmeal blog where people come to see new and creative ideas, I have to get fancy sometimes. For those of you who like getting fancy, this one’s for you.
Toppings make things special. Just throwing chocolate chips on my oatmeal gets me all excited, so imagine how I felt drizzling on spoonfuls of BRIGHT RED DELICIOUSNESS.

Blueberry Trail Mix Baked Oatmeal
I dislike only posting twice a week. I was pretty happy with those few weeks back in August and early September when I was able to pump out three recipes each week. Now, I seem to be in a tiny rut.
One problem is that I eat the same baked oatmeal every morning. I have come to really enjoy this system as it allows me to sleep in a little later than I would if I had to cook my oatmeal on the stove every single day. Plus, it gives me a nice weekend project to look forward to. My roommates are always interested in what my “oatmeal of the week” will be, so that’s motivating as well. Unfortunately, that means I’m not trying out a new recipe every single morning. (more…)
Grapefruit Blueberry Oatmeal
I’ve posted a lot of blueberry recipes lately, and I’m not apologizing for it!
But before I get into that…do you know what today is? It’s September 1st. Today is the one-year anniversary of my first day of vegetarianism. As I explained in my “About Me” page, I originally just planned to try one month without meat. About halfway through the month of September, I already knew (at least subconsciously) that I would not be going back. I was in love with it.
Peach Blueberry Oatmeal
Strawberry and bananas, cherry and lime, rhubarb and strawberry… None of those classic fruit combinations appeal to me as much as peach and blueberry. As much as I love a traditional peach cobbler, I’m all for adding blueberries to the equation sometimes.
As I’m writing this post, it just occurred to me that I used to not like blueberries. I liked blueberry-flavored things, like the fake blueberries in Betty Crocker muffin mixes, but the real thing grossed me out entirely. To be honest, I can’t remember really enjoying a blueberry until I made my Baked Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal…and that was not that long ago! Now, a quick click on the “blueberries” label at the bottom of this post shows just how enamored I am with them!
Berry Kiwi Oatmeal
My two weeks of professional development training are over! Next time I return to the school, it will be with actual students. Hurray!
This also means summer is coming to an end, and I’m on a frantic mission to enjoy all the summer fruits while they’re still around. With a bowl of oatmeal, naturally. 🙂
Nutty ‘Nana Berry Oatmeal
I’ve been selfish with this one. Really selfish.
I’ve been making this for months. Really. Months. And it’s not that I was “perfecting the recipe” or anything like that. No, not at all. In reality, I just never had the opportunity to photograph it! I was either too lazy, it was raining, I didn’t have any good dishes to use for a picture, or I was in a hurry. (more…)
Blueberry Cashew Oatmeal
My mother is pretty wonderful. She knew I was coming to spend about two weeks at her and my father’s house, so she stocked up on food that she knew I would like: apples, bell peppers, honeydew, cantaloupe, whole wheat bread, watermelon, almond milk, organic spring mix (!!), and several varieties of nuts.
One of those nuts was cashews. What a treat! They are actually my mother’s favorite nuts, so I’m not surprised she picked them. 😉 I personally prefer almonds and pecans, so it’s not often that I have cashews. I’m not switching my allegiance yet, but I will say it was nice having something different. (more…)
Banana-Berry and White Chocolate Oatmeal
Have you ever looked at the ingredients list for white chocolate?
Like most of my recipes, this particular one was sitting in my mind for a while. I didn’t want to actually buy white chocolate chips, though; it’s not an ingredient I would use a lot, and I knew my mom had a bag. Thus, my plan was to wait until I was visiting my parents to try this out. So that’s what I did. (more…)
Triple Berry and Banana Oatmeal
It occurred to me last night after I posted my Fuzzy Navel Oatmeal recipe that I never actually told you guys about my summer job. Hmm…
I’m teaching at a college preparatory program for low-income and/or racial minority students. Many of them are ESL (English as a Second Language) students who have come to America from Africa (particularly Ethiopia and Eritrea). (more…)
