Another big holiday has come and gone. This year was spent running an 8k, wearing flannel pjs, setting off the smoke detector, doing crafts with my mom, and watching movies with my Dad. We enjoyed good food in NC.
Here we go:
Parmesan-Crust Pork Center-Cut Pork Chops
Tri-color couscous (because I burnt the roasted sweet potatoes
Cranberry Walnut Rulls (my fave part of the whole day)
Balsamic Glazed Slow-Cooker Carrots
Red Cabbage and Apples
Pumpkin Dip and Graham Crackers
Cold White

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

Need a new way to delish-up your cold fall mornings? This may be able to help you get out of bed on those cold, winter (or late fall) mornings. Or just bring it back to bed and enjoy eating it snuggled under a good, warm down.

Serves 3-4

1.5 cups water (or milk)
1 cup pumpkin
3/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup oats
Toppings: agave nectar, brown sugar (if you want), milk, cool whip

Bring water, pumpkin, vanilla, and spice to a boil. Add in oats and cook for 7-10 minutes.
Serve in a bowl, topped with milk, agave nectar (need a good squirt or two because other wise its not sweet enough) and a dollup of cool whip.
