Pumpkin Butter
OK… I have a sad story about pumpkin butter. As I am sure you know by now I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin fan. One of my most favorite pumpkin treats is pumpkin butter, but when I went to buy some the other day at Trader Joes they were out! There was none to be found… NONE!! MY Pumpkin Butter Obsession So it all started back 10+ years a go when I was aimlessly wondering through Williams Sonoma one October day. This very sweet lady came up to me and asked if I would like to try some pumpkin butter. I mean she had me at the word pumpkin but…

Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats – Yes Instant Pot
Breakfast can be such a challenge sometimes. You get up late, or the kids are running late, or your just not in the mood to make anything or what you really want you don’t have time to make….like steel cut oats. Well I am glad you stopped by…I am here to help you with all the above. Steel cut in under 30…minutes Have you ever tried to make steel cut oats for breakfast? Before Instant Pot (BIP) I would have to plan out the making of my favorite oatmeal. I would either put in the slow cooker overnight or I would make them on a rainy Sunday afternoon when…

skinny oatmeal n muffins
Mornings are made for muffins…like these blueberry muffins, strawberry muffins, chocolate chip muffins or even these bran muffins but sometimes muffins can be really full of all that stuff we don’t need (i.e. fat, calories & points)…but don’t worry I found these muffins! First off I love oatmeal & I love muffins so the idea of putting oatmeal in a muffin made me a little giddy and then add in some brown sugar and maple syrup and I get super giddy. Not only are these muffins loaded with things I love but they also taste anything but skinny, they actually taste very indulgent and you might even have some thoughts of guilt…

let’s go…go…go for some oatmeal
Let’s talk about breakfast. Do you eat breakfast everyday? Do you LOVE breakfast or is something you have to do? Do you change it up or do you eat the same thing everyday? Are you always in a hurry in the morning and need something that is easy and already done when you wake-up? How about overnight oats that are ready when you get up? For me I am eating breakfast everyday…NOW, but that has not always been the case. Breakfast is not something I LOVE or think about or crave but in the last few months all of that has been slowly changing. For the New Year I have…

never order a ham again
Almost every Thanksgiving my brother-in-law will order a ham from that honey place, but this year I decided I wanted to tackle it on my own…I mean it surely couldn’t be that hard. First I had to decide if I wanted the it to be sweet, more spicy or fruity. After discussing it with The Hubby we decided a combo of sweet and spicy would be the way to go so off we went. Second we had to find the ham…off to the store we went. After looking at several of the hams piled up we decided on a 9 pound bone-in hickory smoked one. The name alone sounded yummy so anything…

a little punkin butter fun
OK it is no secret that I LOVE pumpkin anything and everything…I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pasta, but I especially LOVE pumpkin butter. My obsession with pumpkin butter started several years ago on a quick trip to Williams Sonoma to pick-up some kitchen towels (they are he only towels I use) and I was asked to try their pumpkin butter. I, of course, agreed immediately and gobbled up (yes it was like a gobble…it was pumpkin people) and I was instantly in love. It was so pumpkiny (that is is a word in my world) with a perfect hint of spice and then the bite…
