The mornings are getting chillier with the seemingly sudden arrival of the season. Autumn however, no matter the weather, remains to be a warm and cozy time of year. Sweaters in deep jewel tones are hitting stores, green leaves are turning luminous gold hues, and we find ourselves digging out soft flannel bed sheets to curl up in during the crisp Fall nights. These creature comforts just add to the star of the season: PUMPKIN!!! Practically everything on the menu, from coffee, to baked goods, to beer, has a seasonal squash edition.
One comfort food my boys love is instant oatmeal. A healthy and quick breakfast, a bowl of oatmeal is a warm invitation to the dining table when it is even harder to get out of bed on a chilly day. Just a few dashes of Pumpkin Pie Spice added to the usual oatmeal regimen (I make mine with 1% milk in the microwave) and a garnish of candy corn makes a super simple October treat. And unlike multiple visits to Starbucks for limited edition edibles, this dish won't break the bank at just 38¢ a serving!!!
