I tell ya what, if you’re not a fan of sweet goo for breakfast, then instant oatmeal is not for you. At least, it’s not if you’re not willing to make it yourself. And fair enough, I say, because I can’t bend my head around instant oatmeal, which really is like goo. Real oatmeal is …
I don’t know about you but I always feel like a domestic superhero whenever I make a slow cooker meal. Dinner made before 8am? Yeah, that’s right, this kitchen in my bitch. Booyah!
