BAKED OATMEAL

March 26, 2020 by Sarah Baade 1 Comment

Three Years!

This week is the 3rd anniversary of Slice Of Honey! As I look back over all of my posts, I find myself filling up with joy and pride. When I started, I wasn’t sure how long I would last or if I was capable of making the progress I knew I needed. Here I am. Three years in and I almost can’t believe the improvements I have made in my recipes, my photography, and my writing. There is still plenty of room for improvement (believe me, I’m aware of this). But still… Go ahead, look back at my first few posts back in 2017 and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I haven’t updated very many of those original posts because they are such a strong reminder of how far I’ve come. And yes, I am absolutely giving myself a pat on the back! I’m also celebrating with this new baked oatmeal recipe.

Adapting & Getting Creative

While I’m celebrating this blog, I also find myself in a tornado of other emotions. The world is trying to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. We are all learning how to isolate while trying to remain social at a healthy distance. Thank you modern technology!!! We are learning to adapt to new work and education environments. We are also learning how to be more creative. That is my angle with this baked oatmeal recipe – you can adapt and get creative with this one! I’m giving you the recipe as I created it. However, I’m also giving you some alternate ingredients in case you haven’t been able to acquire the exact ones I used. When you make this, I would love to hear how you changed it to make it your own! Leave comments at the bottom of this post or hit me up on Instagram or Facebook and share a pic of what you ended up with.

SOUTHWESTERN HASH BROWN WAFFLES

August 4, 2019 by Sarah Baade Leave a Comment

I went to the grocery store today and came across a group of volunteers asking for donations of school supplies. They handed me a list of what they were needing. I can’t lie, it took everything I had to not start crying. Guys, there are families in your very own town who can NOT afford school supplies for their kids! I’ve been aware of this for a long time but I suppose I’ve never really known what to do or how to help. These volunteers made it so easy for me to help. With tears welled up in my eyes, I gathered notebooks, dividers, highlighters and a backpack. It doesn’t even feel like enough but I’m hopeful the volunteers will receive enough to make a difference in my community.

When kids don’t have school supplies, learning becomes more challenging. Similarly, when kids don’t start the day with a good meal, they have a hard time focusing. With school starting later this month, I wanted to create a breakfast recipe that is easy to freeze and reheat. Furthermore, I wanted to create a recipe that isn’t bread based – I love pancakes, muffins, etc. but we can do better. Let’s start our day with some protein and vegetables! I’ve taken the ingredients of an omelet, scrambled them together and cooked them in a waffle iron. Once they are cooked, you can easily freeze them and reheat as needed.

Tips:

  • Depending on the size of your family, you might want to double this recipe.
  • No waffle iron? Feel free to scoop some of the mixture onto a skillet and cook these like you would a pancake.
