Beth, I have to stop reading your awesome recipes....That pumpkin oatmeal is really something I will look forward to enjoying down the road...Read the recipe to my wife and she is most impressed. I will likely pass this on to my nutritionist too. Where is the recipe from originally?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks very much. Yep, hanging in there with the liquids. Wanting to crunch on something salty or some meat, so I guess it's time to hydrate.....again!

Let me know if you try it, Kel! I haven't made it yet but I'm sure going to. I need to add a few things to my grocery list later this week.
