Brian & Abby's Uncle

Brian's Uncle Louis was involved in a hunting accident last week where he was shot. He is in the hospital in Houston. He needs lots of things right now. The doctors are tending to many of his needs (one of his docs is Dr. Red Duke), but there are others that we could help out with. Most importantly is prayer... please pray for Uncle Louis and his family, along with his friend Greg who was with Louis at the hunting accident. Also, Louis has received many pints of blood (52 at last update), so they are asking everyone to donate if possible. If you are a donor, send me an e-mail and I will get you the info to give them so that the blood gets credited to Louis.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal. I particularly love Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar. It wasn't close enough for my liking. So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat. I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things. The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients... Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too) I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
