Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal

 

Do you love pumpkin pie?  If so, this recipe is for you.

I will share my version of the dish and include a link to the original recipe but let me tell you, I LOVED this morning’s breakfast. Not only was it hearty and filling but it was delicious.

2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

I mixed these all together and then measured the  wet ingredients into a measuring cup –

3/4 cup pumpkin
2 tablespoons melted butter
Added fat free milk to 2 1/2 cup mark
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cup maple syrup   (link for DIY “maple” syrup)
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased baking dish. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

Best served with syrup(I made enough for the recipe and to serve with it) and milk.

I found the recipe on aroundtheplate.   This is the original recipe.

 I haven’t tried this yet, but plan on it after I talk to hubby and see what he’d like to order. Artisanal Premium Cheese has a few good deals going on right now to help you get ready for football snacking. Wine & cheese is a bit more my style, I don’t drink beer.

Anyway-if you want to stack the deals, here’s what to do:

1.  Go to Artisanal Premium Cheese and sign up for the email list. I instantly got a pop-up window to confirm my email address, and then a $10 off $50 showed up in my email. It said that the coupon was expired, so I’m going to email them about it. I would think they’d honor it if it’s on their website.

2. Use this Savings.com link to get 20% off your entire purchase, except Cheese of the Month.

3. At checkout, use the code TOUCHDOWN to get another 14% off your purchase.

 

This should make for some decent prices–get what you need for Super Bowl Sunday or a Valentine’s day evening.

H & R Block: File for FREE

Use H & R Block to file your state taxes for FREE. There is a fee to file your state taxes but every little bit counts. We have so many different things to take into account on our taxes that we have a  CPA do it for us. However, each year I will go do the free part so I can get a good idea of what we are looking at for taxes, whether it is owing or being owed to us.

The best part is it takes out the complication of tax numbers. You simply answer the questions and fill in the amounts they ask you and you are set.
