It's the day after thanksgiving and we still have not gotten enough pumpkin! We had a can in the cupboard ready to go and decided to whip up some spicy pumpkin oatmeal this morning. Aaron and I very loosely followed the recipe on the back of the can of pumpkin, with some modifications. We like our sweet pumpkin dishes to be extra spicy with the tastes of cinnamon and nutmeg.
We used the old fashioned oatmeal and garnished the top of each bowl with a sprinkle of uncooked, dry oatmeal. Those little bits of crunch, once stirred in to a warm bowl, were quite tasty! This oatmeal
is just perfect for cold autumn mornings. We covered the leftovers and they will keep pretty well for the next couple days. More tomorrow!
No warm and lovely dish is complete without a photo shoot :) We created a free printable recipe for everyone.
