Creamy Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal & A Keurig Giveaway (NOW CLOSED)
PIN IT!DC, you are a big ol’ fail whale. Remember how you freaked out because you thought we were going to get 14 feet of snow and in reality, we just got slushy rain? Oh, of course you do, it was yesterday! Basically, the government shut down and everyone thought the world was ending because it flaked a smidgen. Sometimes, I just find it so comical to live here. The snow may have missed us but it was still really frigid. Which is why I made a BIG ol’ bowl of this creamy pumpkin pie oatmeal for breakfast. (For only the, um, 15th week in a row).
Even though I wish that was ice cream on top, it’s just a dab of whipped cream. Because I may be crazy, but I’m not that nuts. Although wouldn’t ice cream on oatmeal be a dream come true? Maybe in another alternate universe where excessive calories did not, in fact, make you fat.
Wouldn’t that just be awesome? You wake up, eat ice cream for breakfast, and still stay skinny! I’m imagining this world to be very futuristic. We’ll all wear those unforgiving tight silver jumpsuits, fly around on weird scooter things and have those really ugly polarized sunglasses with the goggle like bands to keep them on your head. You have to know what I’m talking about? And all the women have this bizarre purple hair? Wouldn’t that be a dream. We could eat bowls of this A-FREAKING-MAZING creamy pumpkin pie oatmeal with all the ice cream in the world and not even bloat. Oh such a world.
I seriously ran out of pumpkin yesterday. I want to cry in a corner because looking at this is making my face salivate like WOAH. Oh well, at least I have my coffee. Oh, and speaking of coffee, I have an awesome giveaway for y’all! Just scroll a wee bit down for the details! In the meantime, GO GET THIS RECIPE. Print it. Frame it. Laminate it. Do whatever you can to never lose it. It’s life changing.

I'll be sure to give this recipe a try when I get the chance! I'm a big fan of oatmeal.
Most days, though, I end up eating some fruit and/or toast with almond butter.
Whipped cream for breakfast. I'm in!
