Orange Dreamsicle Overnight Oatmeal
When I was younger, my family and I could eat through a gallon of ice cream within a few days. My dad and I would eat bowl after bowl in one sitting. The favorite in our household was plain old vanilla (usually topped with chocolate syrup). However, sometimes my mom got “fancy” and bought us Orange Blossom.
If you don’t know what that is, it’s vanilla ice cream swirled with orange sherbet. Mmmmm. It’s the ice cream version of orange “dreamsicle,” which I believe is one of the world’s best flavors. 🙂
Overnight Choco-Raspberry Oatmeal
It’s amazing (or perhaps just frustrating) how being away for a weekend can throw off my blog schedule so much. It’s been six days since my last post! You’d think after a break like this, I’d have some elaborate concoction to share, but alas, this one is pretty simple (but nevertheless delicious!).
My roommies and I went to Boston over the weekend. Considering it’s one of the top three U.S. cities I’ve ever wanted to visit (along with San Francisco and New Orleans!), I was so grateful to have that opportunity. I love my life right now!

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oatmeal
My Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal was a hit. The Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal was also a hit. (Confession: despite the fact that the stove-top version has more views, I highly prefer the baked version!) So why not give the people what they want?
Now you can enjoy silky pumpkin pie that practically prepared itself overnight. You’re welcome. 🙂
Funny story: the second time I made this, I accidentally dumped in a spoonful of TACO SEASONING instead of pie spices. Ugh.

Raspberry Lemonade Overnight Oatmeal
Have you tried overnight refrigerator oatmeal yet?
It’s a pretty great concept, especially in the summertime. Most days–thanks to the fabulous invention of the air conditioner–I wake up eager for a warm bowl of oatmeal, regardless of the temperature outside. Some days, however, are quite the opposite, and a cold, ready-to-go jar of delicious, silky oatmeal is the perfect compromise.
Actually, compromise seems like a poor word choice. It implies settling for something less than the original. I would say that overnight oatmeal isn’t less than the stove top; it’s just different. Equally awesome for different reasons.

Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oatmeal
Banana Cream Pie is one of my favorite desserts…but only when it’s made correctly (aka homemade). I hate when people just whip up Jell-O banana pudding and stick it on top of a store-bought crust, and then squirt some canned whipped cream on top. It’s absolutely insulting!
I’ve wanted to create a banana cream pie oatmeal for a while now, but I wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. Would it just be a regular banana oatmeal with extra vanilla extract? Would I top it with something (banana soft serve? coconut whipped cream? soy yogurt?) to resemble the “cream?”
But then I got THIS idea. And it’s PERFECT. Banana Cream Pie should be cold, anyway, NOT hot! Plus, I like to think of overnight refrigerator oatmeal more like “oatmeal pudding,” and pudding is exactly what I wanted this oatmeal to resemble!
