Cozy Steel Cut Oatmeal

Hello friends! Happy New Year!
I took a little blogging break to unplug and enjoy the holidays with my family, but now
I'm ready to dive right back in. I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season with
those you love.

Frozen Steel Cut Oatmeal Cups {Meal Prep}

Now that September is here and school is back in session, I find myself in meal planning
mode.  I don't mind winging it for the most part during the summer months, but come
fall I like to get organized and be prepared for chilly mornings when I crave something
warm to start my day.

Crock-Pot Apple Pie Steel Cut Oats

It's been over a month since my last oatmeal post. 
Time for another one people!
You know how I LOVE my oats :)

I'm planning ahead for the week and thought apple pie steel cut oats would be the perfect breakfast
to celebrate fall.  I let my crock-pot do all the work, so I can just reheat individual portions in the microwave each morning.
Now I have a quick and healthy breakfast for the entire week.
Yay!

This crock-pot was a wedding gift 26 years ago and it's still going strong!
Do you call it a crock-pot or slow cooker?
Just wondering :)
