I would say fall is in the air…but evidently I either 1) missed fall, or 2) have mistaken the temperature for what seems like it should be winter. Either way, winter is in fulllll swing here in Wenatchee in my opinion. I woke up yesterday morning to snow on the tips of the mountains, and this morning? the backyard covered in frost.

I’m not by any means complaining The weather is actually insanely gorgeous here. Even when its 50 degrees out, I haven’t been wearing more than a light sweater and jeans. Unlike Seattle, when it gets cold here, the sun is still shining, which makes it not that bad after all. With that being said, I did totally turn on the heat today (don’t tell the husband).

In other news, we have barely gone out to eat, with the exception of grabbing a sandwich. We have been wayyy to busy! Can you believe that??? I am dying to get out with the husband and explore some of the restaurants here and good eats. We’ve already gotten a “tip” on the best mexican restaurant here in the valley, and boy, I can’t wait to try. (One must prepare for eating an insane amount of chips and guacamole).

With the temperatures dropping, and us on the run what seems like everyday, I figured it may be nice to have something warm to eat for breakfast this week. Living here, I find myself craving warm, heartier foods. For instance, the other day I opened the fridge to make a salad for lunch, only to get shivers running down my back at the thought of eating cold lettuce. No, I wanted something warrrrmmmm.
So with those thoughts running through my head this week during menu planning, I thought breakfast- oats, warm, cinaminny, oats. Baked oatmeal!

Make this oatmeal for your week ahead, it will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside
