baked blueberry & banana oatmeal

I've been cooking a lot more lately. And by that I mean over the past two weeks I've cooked tofu and baked a sweet potato in the microwave. But ever since I started my diet, I've taken into account what ingredients go into my meals. Needless to say, I've began appreciating fruit way more than I'd like to admit.

So here's a little recipe I just tried out that I wanted to share. Now I'm no chef by any means, but if my culinary skills rendered me a phenomenally tasty treat then I urge all oatmeal fans to try this one out. But I must warn you, you'll never touch instant oatmeal ever again. So cook at your own risk.

Ingredients

1 cup oats

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 cup soy milk

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ripe bananas (sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces)

3/4 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Spray a 1 and 1/2-quart casserole dish cooking spray.

3. In separate bowl mix together the oats, the cinnamon, & the salt.

4. In another small bowl mix the maple syrup, milk, half of the melted butter, and the vanilla.

5. Place the sliced banana pieces in a single layer in the bottom of the casserole dish.

6. Sprinkle about two-thirds of the fresh blueberries over the top of the bananas, then cover the blueberries with the oat mixture.

7. Pour the milk mixture over the oats, making sure to distribute the milk as evenly as possible.

8. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the top of the oats.

9. Bake the oatmeal for 35, or until the top is golden brown and oats have set.

Enjoy.

time warp

A lot has happened since I stopped updating this in June. Here is my condensed version.

I got an internship with Fashion Fix.

I moved in with one of my best friends.

I went to NY again.

I got inspired there and wrote about these finds (manolo blahnik, miu miu, anna sui, ysl, dolce & gabbana , peter fox) and more.

I went to Ohio. And wrote about some pretty snazzy street style.

I went to & helped out at a few fashion shows.

I graduated.

I got a cute boyfriend.

I fell in love and adopted this two and a half year old German Shepherd named Brylee.
