Baking Day with Oatmeal

I have an abundance of oatmeal in the house and thought I would put some of it to good use today. I made a double batch of chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies and a double batch of cinnamon-raisin granola.

The boys have already been in the kitchen trying to rob a cookie but they are still cooling. I am sure they will make a good dessert after supper.

As soon as the granola is done cooling I will put it in an airtight cereal container. My favorite way to eat granola is on top of a yogurt parfait. This is an easy breakfast or a healthy dessert. Either way it is versitile and easy. The granola also makes a great cereal or trail mix ingredient. My 12 year old hopeful chef in the making likes to mix granola into his grandmothers ice cream recipe. I am sure you can come up with several other ways to eat granola as well.

My husband brought me home an early Mother’s Day gift of a single white rose (my favorite color and his signature gift) on Saturday evening. I am still enjoying it today and I thought I would share it’s beauty.mothers+day+rose Mothers DayI was so thrilled he didn’t break the budget but still thought of me with this beautiful flower.
