    banana oatmeal in a bowl topped with nuts and cinnamon

    Hey everyone! So, I'm a self admitted breakfast hater. I know, I know. It's blasphemy isn't it?! But really, breakfast foods just aren't my jam. I'm into dessert style breakfast foods all day, every day. If I had to choose between eggs & bacon or a stack of pancakes, the pancakes are going to win every time. When people go to a restaurant and order an omelette, I just don't get it. I love food, but I've never once just craved an omelette in my life. Oh! And what is up with fast food eggs? They never actually taste like real eggs. They gross me out every. single. time. Can't do it. Just can't do it.

    ingredients to make banana oatmeal

    As a way to make myself eat breakfast and a healthier breakfast, I've been branching out and trying new things. Benefit for you guys, if they are good, they'll be posted!

    This is one of those experiments. I love me some banana bread. So, instead of baking a loaf and eating that for breakfast because lets be honest, working on small healthy changes here. Let's not get crazy!

    • oatmeal and water in a saucepan
    • cooked oats in a saucepan
    • banana and brown sugar added to the saucepan
    • banana oatmeal in a saucepan

    In this recipe, you'll notice that I cook my oatmeal on the stove. That is totally a personal preference. You do not have to do that. You can totally cook yours in the microwave if that floats your boat. You do you! I personally just prefer my oatmeal cooked on the stovetop because then it isn't gummy. I HATE gummy oatmeal. I really love for my oatmeal to be light, fluffy, and separated. To me, the perfect oatmeal lets you see individual grains, rather than one big gloop of mush.

      Much better way to make oatmeal than the packets! I'm not a huge oatmeal fan but I'm trying new things. One thing I learned is a little banana goes a long way! LOVED that the nutmeg and cinnamon made my home smell like autumn!!! My favorite season! Loved the addition of pecans!

    I love when people request that I bring Homemade Banana Pudding to things. Not only is it one of my favorites, but it’s easy to make enough for a crowd. It’s quick to make and everyone loves it!

    A completely underrated recipe on the blog is this Smoked Turkey Pepper Jack Quesadilla. It’s not a typical quesadilla and it has a surprising ingredient you might not expect 😁

    This pineapple pico de gallo is a staple for me in the summer because it’s a perfect combo of sweet and spicy. It goes really great with chicken and fish, but my favorite is eating it with lime tortilla chips 😍😍😍

    This Greek Pasta Salad takes traditional pasta salad we're all familiar with and swaps the regular pasta for tortellini and the dressing for a Greek-style favorite. It's easy to make, makes the perfect side dish (hello Greek Turkey Burgers!), and you can make it 3-4 days in advance. A total win/win.
