Baked Oatmeal Cups

Yummy yummy in my tummy! That is what I have to say about these babies. They really hit the spot.


On a FREEZING cold day like today, (There were SNOW FLURRIES!!! I can hardly contain my excitement!!) these are the perfect warmer-uper. Well, standing in front of the open oven after they were done baking helped too. (I learned this trick from my best friend Leah! So brilliant!)



Speaking of winter, I am very excited for it to arrive. I love everything about this time of year: the snow, christmas lights, the holiday spirit, getting to spend time with family, eating yummy food! It can't get any better than that!
