For our outdoor breakfast, I used a black polka dot topper, my pumpkin bowls and black towels as napkins. How about some chai tea to go along with the oatmeal?
My centerpiece is a vintage-looking pumpkin head character from Tuesday Morning. The bicycle is a cute find that my dear friend bought at Big Lots. The little fella in the front basket is from Dollar Tree. The ghost and pumpkin are from years ago.
This is sooooo good!!! |
For 1 serving:
1/3 cup old fashioned oats
2 T. canned pumpkin (a good way to use some of that leftover pumpkin from other recipes!)
1/4 t. pumpkin pie spice or a dash of cinnamon and a little nutmeg
2/3 cup water
Put all ingredients together into a microwave-safe bowl, stir together and then microwave for about 2 minutes (depending on your wattage). Stir again and top with a scoop of ice cream! Enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Kitty - you always have the BEST recipes! I love oatmeal and pumpkin, so I'll be trying this one for sure. Love that it's single serving and microwaveable.
ReplyDeleteKitty~ I would say this would DEFINITELY change how I feel about oatmeal!! I will have to try it! Love your bicycling pumpkin character :)
ReplyDeleteCute table...love the scoop of ice cream on oatmeal, Kitty!
ReplyDeleteIce cream?!??!! On oatmeal?!??!!! You're trying to brainwash all the kids in America into thinking oatmeal is good, aren't you? Good thinking! Way to go! I personally like oatmeal, but everything's better with ice cream! I love your centerpiece!!! The bike is really cute, and the little pumpkin head man is rockin'. Or is that a girl? Maybe it's a metrosexual guy. Who knows? Anyway, it's cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your bike and pumpkin guy! Pottery Barn has a bike that looks almost the same and I've been thinking about it. I actually love oatmeal, but with ice cream it would be irresistible! Linda
ReplyDeleteWell, I want to make it, especially if I could have the decadent oatmeal in those great bowls! I have never heard of ice cream on oatmeal, and like you I like oatmeal -- sometimes it just tastes so good. Joni
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable centerpiece! I love the bike and the vintage looking pumpkin head piece! Too cute! The oatmeal recipe sounds so good and with ice cream how can you go wrong!
ReplyDeleteKitty, this oatmeal recipe sounds out of this world good. I'm going to have to try it. I make it five days a week for Jim and I eat it occasionally. Got to say I love the tablescape. The bike with the witch is so cute, and those witchy stockings just adorable. Great post!

ReplyDeleteHi Kitty! How fun to visit your blog today! I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning, and it has really helped bring my cholesterol down [the Dr. has me cut my Lipitor pill in half now]. I try to add blueberries or strawberries for variety, and now thanks to your post I'm very eager to add pumpkin. I never would have thought of that. You have a lovely blog! ~ Phyllis
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try the pumpkin oatmeal. It sounds so good and I love anything with pumpkin. Thank you for the recipe and your decorations are just too cute.

I love your tablescape--those pumpkin bowls and the black napkins are lovely together with your wonderful bicycle and pumpkin and ghost figures. It was so nice to hear from you at my blog--let me know how you like the apple salad! My garden is winding down for the season--we've got lots of rain for the next few days here, and cooler temperatures--perfect for food like your decadent oatmeal!
