First: How many of you have tried Apple-Pears? They are small, round, yet their skin is brown and Bosc-pear-like. They are delicious and perhaps my new favorite fruit. Crisp texture, sweet and juicy, they are delightful. I want to eat one with every meal. And, apparently now is the season to eat them. Next time you're at the grocery store, pick one up and try it. You won't be disappointed.
Second: My cousin's wife recently posted on Fb that she tried a Pumpkin Oatmeal Bake for breakfast with her four girls (ages 3 to 13, maybe). It was a hit in her family, and as I've been dying to make some pumpkin things, and yet not having time to search them out, I wanted to give this a try. My disclaimer is that I already love oatmeal and this recipe had all kinds of great spices in it, and raisins (which I also enjoy). I knew it would be good. We tried it for breakfast yesterday and loved it. It's so easy to throw together, and even in halving the recipe it made twice as much as we needed. I saved it for today's breakfast, not really knowing how oatmeal will save, and thinking it sounded kind of gross, really. Turns out, it's still good. I just finished my bowl of it and yum. It's actually better today, go figure.
If you would like to see the recipe, I'll send it to you, but I didn't want to type it up unless there was interest.
Today is Pizza & Wings day for lunch, as friends are coming over to watch the Colts game. I hope to later make a recipe Margaret just shared on her blog, something with lentils, and also a tuna casserole. I'll be gone Mon-Wed at a conference, but Kyle still has to eat, and I know if I don't make it, he certainly won't either. Plus, I want some food ready to be eaten when I return, brain-dead, on Wednesday night.
Happy Sunday to you all!
