After being a crazy woman for the past 8 weeks, it feels SO weird to not be studying right now. I can sit back, relax, and not feel guilty about watching old America’s Next Top Model episodes.
Other things I don’t feel guilty about… eating oatmeal for dinner. Since I’m leaving the city Tuesday for vacation and haven’t had much time to plan out meals there’s very little food in my apartment…….
And sometimes you just want a comforting warm bowl of yummy oatmeal on a cold and rainy new york evening.
good enough for dinner apple cinnamon oatmeal
ingredients:
- 1 cup + 1/2 cup of almond milk (I used vanilla for extra flavor)
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 apple, cut up
- lots of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of honey
directions:
- In a medium sized sauce pan heat 1 cup of almond milk, the oatmeal, chia seeds, the apple mix with a few shakes of cinnamon over medium heat.
- Keep stirring the mixture until it starts to thicken (if you’re like me you will probably freak out that it’s soooo watery and you did something wrong. Don’t worry, it will thicken!)
- Once the mixture thickens add the addition 1/2 cup of almond milk and honey.
- Stir until the mixture becomes thick once again. Add additional cinnamon if desired.
I keep telling myself, “I’ll start going legit food shopping once I’m back from vacation”. Until then I’ll enjoy oatmeal for dinner instead 🙂
What’s your favorite way to enjoy oatmeal?
For me this is definitely my favorite hot oatmeal recipe I’ve ever made, but in the summer time I’m a huge fan of overnight oats
