An Oops and A Bonus Throwback

Sooooo... today is supposed to be What I Ate Wednesday but like a jerk I accidentally formatted my memory card before I downloaded it. I thought it was my other card but unfortunately it wasn't so for the first time in my life I formatted the wrong card and lost my pics from the week. I feel like a total moron but I assure you that you are not missing much. I haven't even tried any of my new products yet so luckily I didn't lose any of those pics. A lot of smoothies and salads and whatnot. Sigh.

I still wanted to get a post up today so I decided to post some bonus throwback recipes for this week. It is cold and snowing again in NY so I'm going to post two comforting, warming oatmeal recipes.

First is a baked oatmeal recipe inspired by Chocolate Covered Katie's Baked Oatmeal:

Raisin and Walnut Baked Oatmeal 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup oats

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 packet Stevia

1 tbsp raisins

1 tbsp choppd walnuts

1/2 banana (mashed)

1/4 cup plant milk (I used Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze)

splash vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 380 degrees. Spray ramekin or baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Combine all dry ingredients in one bowl.

3. Separately combine wet ingredients.

4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and thoroughly combine.

5. Put mixture into ramekin and bake for 22-25 mins.

6. After 20 minutes put oven on BROIL and cook for another 3-4 minutes until you get a crispy crust on top.

7. Enjoy!

Second is an Apple Pie Oatmeal!

Apple Pie Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1 Gala Apple (peeled or unpeeled depending on your preference)

Pinch Cinnamon

1/3 cup oatmeal

1 tbsp chopped walnuts

1 tbsp raisins

Directions:

1. Sprinkle chopped apple with a pinch of cinnamon and bake on 350 for 12-15 minutes until tender.

2. While the apple is baking, cook oatmeal in 1 cup of water.

3. Top oatmeal with baked apple, raisins and walnuts. If you want to add some sweetness you can drizzle some maple syrup as well.

4. Enjoy!

So there you have it. Sorry about the mistake, I definitely feel like an idiot. I do have some fun things coming up for the rest of the week though, including my first Nerd Alert post on Saturday. I'm really excited about it because it will actually lead into a series of posts and a fun Spring project for me because I was really inspired in my research. I can't wait to share it with you.

I hope you are all having a great week. I'll be back tomorrow with more Throwback Recipes. Have a great day/night.
