Carrot Cake Oatmeal – My Way

I have created the most amazing birthday breakfast.  Carrot Cake Oatmeal – My Way!
Today is my birthday!  I’m celebrating the fact that I’m still alive!  I’m healthy!  I can run, not as fast, but I’m still hitting the pavement 5-6 days a week.  I enjoy a few workouts at Orange Theory each week, which kicks my trash. Basically I feel like I’m 20 years old until I look in the mirror.  Yikes!  I try my hardest to eat as healthy as possible.  I pretty much make everything from scratch.  I avoid processed foods like the plague.  I eat my greens and drink them too.
On my birthday I give myself a gift of eating whatever I want.  If I have a birthday cake, I go for Carrot Cake or Chocolate, Chocolate, double loaded with Chocolate Cake. While perusing Pinterest for a great cake idea, I noticed many pins for Carrot Cake Oatmeal recipes.  This turned on a light in my head.  Wow!  I love oatmeal and I love carrot cake.  I can totally improve this recipe.  I can create the greatest birthday breakfast ever…Carrot Cake Oatmeal…MY WAY!
The recipe is pretty simple.  You will need:
1 cup cooked oatmeal of choice (I’m using Bob’s Redmill Steel cut)
1 slice Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing (because cinnamon and oatmeal are a match made in heaven)
Place one cup cooked oatmeal mixed with cream and maple syrup in a bowl.  Top with a large slice of carrot cake.  EAT!
It’s not coincidence that it’s National Women’s Day on March 8th.  To all of you wonderful women born on this day, GO US!   I wish you a happy birthday.  Celebrate in style because you are one fabulous woman!

Oh…I think I’m going to be sick….

Next week…Green Juice!

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink. 

Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti are my favorite and I add them to my Christmas cookie list because they make such a cute gift, but most of all I love dipping them in my cocoa.

According to my DNA testing I’m only 5% Norwegian. Im going with that as an excuse to bake at least 7 types of cookies. 

Top on my list is this adorable 
Norwegian Berlinerkranser. 

This cute little cookie from my childhood is buttery with a hint of orange. 🤤 I can’t have a Christmas without these cute little cookies. 

How many types of cookies are you baking this year?
