It’s Fall! Hopefully, we will see a change in the weather, something other than rain and heat would be welcomed. How is the weather in your part of the world? Wishing you comfort and sunshine, wherever you are.
I seem to think of using pumpkin when Fall is officially here and visual at the market.
Making me want to take them home to decorate, display and eat them. I did buy a pie pumpkin a couple of days ago but ended up using canned pumpkin for this Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal.
This is the first time I have cooked oatmeal in the crock pot and very pleased I did. It was like eating a Pumpkin Spice Muffin in a bowl. Warm and soft and quite filling. This is definitely a keeper and will be made often.
