PB & J Oatmeal

Good morning!

Call me crazy, but I LOVE the snow!

Right now as I am writing this post I am curled up by the fire, wrapped in my XXL fuzzy grey sweater, and there is a blizzard outside. I LOVE IT. Snow also makes the PERFECT lighting for necessary food pictures. Ya know?

Now, granted, I don’t actually have to leave my house today if I don’t want to. So I understand those who have to go to work and school might actually hate the snow. But for me, I am thanking God for the beautiful winter wonderland right outside my window.

Do you know what else goes perfect with snow? OATMEAL. I made this beautiful bowl of oatmeal to enjoy with my cup (or three cups) of coffee this morning.

I present to you PB&J Oatmeal! And this is not just your everyday PB&J…this is blueberry jam fresh from a sweet, local,  Amish woman!

Enjoy! <3
