Recipe of the Week: Quick Strawberry Nutella Oatmeal

Have you guys ever heard of Annie's Eats? Well, if you haven't, and you like to eat AT ALL, you should look at her blog. The photography is gorgeous and her style is so personable. Anyway, I was inspired by her recipe for Strawberry Nutella Oatmeal, but just knew I wouldn't be patient enough to toast the oats in butter, and cook the oatmeal over the stove. I used to do that, but life with kids has made the microwave my best friend in the kitchen. So here's what I did, and lemme tell ya...my morning has never been sweeter. Oh, and by the way, if you like this recipe, check out my other ideas for oatmeal mix-ins.

Quick Strawberry Nutella Oatmeal

1/2 c. old-fashioned oats
1/2 c. to 3/4 c. milk
pinch salt
1 T. nutella
sliced strawberries

Pour the oats and milk into a bowl. My apologies, but I never measure the milk because I don't want an extra measuring cup to wash. I just pour it into the oats until they swim a little bit.

Add a pinch of salt.

Microwave this for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on high.

Remove from microwave and stir in the nutella. Top with strawberries. You could probably sprinkle some brown sugar on top for extra sweetness but I think the Nutella makes it sweet enough. Don't forget the salt, though. Omitting that makes a BIG difference.

Enjoy!

Peaches and Cream Scones

Good morning, sunshines! Sadly, peach season is coming to a rapid close, but before it's gone for another year, you've gotta try these scones! They taste like peach cobbler that you can hold in your hand! If you recall, I rounded up some great peach recipes for you a few weeks back, and this was one I just had to try myself. The recipe comes from A Latte Food . The only thing I changed was the amount of vanilla that went in the glaze. I decreased it from 1 T. to 1 tsp. Hop on over to A Latte Food for the full recipe, then swipe up the last of summer's peaches before they're gone!

Blue and Red Valentine Decorations

Hey there! Happy Monday! Have you undecorated for Christmas yet? I have to do a decoration detox for a bit after the holidays. I keep the decor to a minimum, but around now, I start to think about Valentine's Day decorations. I think it's hard to work with red and pink since our house is mostly blue, gray and green. But these blue and red Valentine craft ideas would look great in our house, and maybe yours, too! via via via via via via via via via You May Also Like: Key to Our Hearts Valentine Art DIY Heart Crayons Grilled Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwiches Vintage Valentine Crafts
