The Truth and Nothing But the Truth

Scene: This weekend Mom and I were at Barnes and Noble. After having trouble coming up with what I want for Christmas, I had decided to take the e-reader plunge and get a Nook (you know because they have cuter cases than a Kindle).

B&N Guy: Do you want the extended warranty plan? It's $50, but covers any problems for 2 years.

Me: Any problems?

B&N Guy: Yes, even if you drop it and break it, it is covered.

Me: Really!?!

Mom: With her luck, I think we'll take it!

I was so bummed after I got my Kindle and saw that the Nook has Lily and Kate cases and matching tote bags! I love my Kindle, but those cases for the Nook are adorable!

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
