Almonds in Oatmeal = New Fave.

Not like this is a revolutionary subject or anything (hello, have you been to my blog before?), but it is sorta revolutionary for me because although we always have raw almonds on hand, I completely spaced that we own a nut chopper (it’s for choppin’ nuts, yo!).  It’s amazing what unpacking all of your boxes will do for your kitchen.  Anyway, now I just chop a bunch of almonds for the week and heap on a spoonful to my oatmeal each morning.   

And if you’re wondering if I made the switch, I totally did!  There is something to be said about those steel cut oats.  Taste and texture are totally worth it.  And as a bonus, I really don’t think they take that much longer to cook in the mornings.  I just heat mine up in the microwave, and then let them sit a bit while I feed Juju.  Easy-peasy.   Steel-cut oats are a breezy.

Sorry.  Couldn’t help myself on that last line.  Cuz' I'm cheesy!!  Boo-yeah--snuck in another.
