Week 2 & 3 - New Obsession

Okay so I have a new obsession. I just realized that the only way that I will willingly eat breakfast during the week is if I use the slow cooker. I made an awesome oatmeal and acutally ENJOYED it this morning.

So here is the recipe I used for that oatmeal.  Next I will make a hasbrown and egg cassarole. I'm so excited.

Apple Oatmeal

6 cups water
2 cups Steel-Cut Oats (don't use regular oats they won't hold up to the cooking time)
3 apples, diced
1/2 c honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg ( I left this one out because my mom hates nutmeg but I think it would taste great)

Mix all the ingredients in the slow cooker (preferably a large one).  Set on low for at least 6-7 hours.

This tastes like an apple pie. I added 1 tbsp brown sugar to the top and a sprinkle more cinnamon but it was heavenly.
