Welcome to my blog!
I have always loved to bake - mostly because I can follow instructions and recipes, and I have had good luck with my turnout. But, more recently, I have learned the joy of cooking. I love trying out new recipes, and I like to play with recipes to accommodate my finicky tastes.
I hope you enjoy my blog!
I find inspiration in the healthy blogging community. I wanted to start a blog to share the recipes I have tried with you, but I also want to share with you my healthy living goals, plans, and actions in hopes to inspire some of you as well.
I love feedback, so please leave me comments, suggestions, and questions.I hope you enjoy my blog!

Slow Cooker Oatmeal
I went to my local coop the other day (obsessed with that store) and bought some organic steel-cut oats from the bulk bins for a recipe I have been dying to try with my slow cooker. So, into my 1.5 quart slow cooker went 1/2 cup steel-cut oats and two cups of water. I switched the cooker onto low and let it work its magic overnight. I woke up Wednesday morning to lovely warm oatmeal in my slow cooker! I dumped my oats into a bowl and stirred into chopped apple and cinnamon dusted walnut pieces. OH YUM! Tasted like a delicious warm bowl of apple pie! I loved the crunch that the walnuts added. I am totally running down to the co-op tonight and loading up on steel-cut oats. This was the first time I tried steel-cut oats. I am usually an oat bran girl. I was always afraid of the cooking time needed for the oats, but with the slow cooker, it was so easy! I didn't have to hover over the stove for 45 minutes waiting for my breakfast in the morning. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE my oat bran though. I will have to switch it up a few times a week so I can get my fix of both.
