Dirty Chai Oatmeal
I wish coffee shops would stop bastardizing chai.

Chai and Pear Oatmeal
Pears have never really been my thing. To me, they are just a little too similar to apples, but without the satisfying crunch. However, I find that pears work beautifully in oatmeal, so I buy some occasionally to switch up my routine.
