How To: Healthy Breakfast – Overnight Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
What happens when you take two of my favourite breakfasts and put them together in one 8 x 8 pyrex? Deliciousness, that’s what. Baked oatmeal is not a new breakfast idea to this blog – we’ve given you a pumpkin cranberry version and a peanut butter apple variety as well. But I live by the…

Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos
