from the hitch kitchen..

since getting married, i obviously have been learning many things about being a wife.  one of these things is that making your husband's favorite foods is a VERY good thing.. so i have been getting creative and experimenting.  i wouldn't say that i'm the best cook in the world, but i'm learning!  i'd been pretty intimidated to making anything for nick for a while (given that he was a line cook when he was like 11) but i've gotten over that!  after trying a whole bunch of new recipes these last few months i was losing track of them and wanted to get organized so i had the bright idea of actually using a recipe box.  most people would say that's common sense, but i've never been too quick on the common sense thing anyway.  after playing around on photoshop the other day i decided that i now wanted to make my own recipe cards.. and this is what i came up with.

since i now have my own recipe cards i'm gonna share the recipe of nick's favorite breakfast that my sweet mother in law passed to me!

BAKED OATMEAL 

1/2 cup melted butter

2 eggs

2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk
1 cup brown sugar
3 cups oatmeal
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla

Mix all ingredients thoroughly.  Pour into oiled 8x8 in. baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40-60 min.  It should be firm when you shake the pan.  Serve with warmed milk if you like.  You can also at nuts or fruit to the recipe too!  It is so delicious, like having dessert for breakfast :)

nick thinks this whole, decorating the house, cooking, blog, recipe, nesting this is cute.. i just think it's fun.  it's late and i'm not even sure if half of this made sense so it's time for bed.  my hubs is sound asleep next to me and he just looks so precious. time to join him.. goodnight!
