There’s nothing better than having the kids home for the holidays! I really miss them when they are away at school. I love just hanging out with them and talking AND making them their favorite foods.

This morning, my youngest requested her favorite breakfast…

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal (based on a recipe by Katie Higgins of CCK)

1/2 c. oatmeal

1 t. chia seeds

1 c. almond milk

pinch of salt

1/2 banana

2 T. peanut butter

chocolate chips

buckwheat groats

Put oatmeal, chia seeds, almond milk, and salt in pot and bring to a boil. Then, turn down heat to medium and cook until oats are soft and liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, place banana and peanut butter in blender. Once oats are cooked, place 1/2 of the cooked oats in bowl, and the other half in the blender with the bananas and oatmeal. Blend until smooth. Then put this mixture on top of the oatmeal in the bowl. Finally sprinkle with chocolate chips and buckwheat groats.
