Wednesdays Unplugged – Baked Oatmeal

“The time is always right to do what is right.” – Martin Luther King, Jr

NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It’s my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian ‘Quote Cup’ passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, along with an update and photos of what has been going on in our lives. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!

We had our annual church women’s retreat last weekend, at the same time as the biggest snow event of the year so far. It was a perfect time to look out over the beautiful setting… and watch an eagle soaring over the idyllic landscape along the St. Croix. In addition to spending time together I also had the opportunity to finish reading an amazing book, Searching for Nora by Wendy Swallow.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

We had this delicious baked oatmeal for breakfast one morning at the retreat.
