    1. I am so glad you liked it Abby. Sometimes I make it just because I like the way the house smells when I do ;)

    1. I am all about getting it done the night before. From setting out clothes, to packing up lunches. This just makes it easy to get ready to go in the morning. And your house smells good too!!

  3. Thanks for the recipe! I used old fashioned oats and cooked for about 6 hours on Low. I served with a sprinkle of brown sugar and some milk. So thick and hearty!
