Cinnamon Raisin Cookie Baked Oatmeal for a breakfast that tastes like the classic cookie. Meal prep a pan and reheat for an easy breakfast!
This is the story of my engagement.
On Halloween last week M and I hiked into Great Falls National Park where he got down on one knee and presented me with a diamond ring and a question.
“Would you like to marry me?” he asked, the midday sun creating fiery colors in the pear shaped diamond in yellow gold.
“Yes!” I said immediately, wondering if I had responded too quickly.
We kissed and M slid the diamond onto my ring finger as people I didn’t know were there gave their congratulations.
So, friends, I am engaged.
The funny thing is that I almost didn’t want to go on this hike that I realize now M was carefully planning.
There was really high winds forecast for the day and that felt like reason enough to curl up at home and read under blankets.
I’m forever grateful that we ended up going and I braved the discomfort.
Great Falls has always been a special place for us in our relationship.
It’s the first place M taught me to climb outdoors in the height of the pandemic, and a place we kept coming back to for hiking, climbing, and nature.
Standing on top of Sandbox Overlook with my new fiancé, my best friend, this man who has chosen me forever, I didn’t feel the windchill a bit.
The last week has been a bit of a blur with engagement announcements, living in our own “honeymoon” bubble, and making tentative plans for the future.
Being newly engaged, I’ll admit, I haven’t been the most creative with food.
However, I did come up with a new baked oats recipe for you that’s essentially a cookie in baked oats form.
Can you tell that I was craving cookies when I created this Cinnamon Raisin Cookie Baked Oatmeal?!
