Last night I went to sleep thinking the kitchen fairies would clean up my messy kitchen, but I woke up this morning and it’s still a mess! Some mornings I wish I had Eleven’s mind control powers so I could simply nod and furrow my brows and the broom and duster would do their thing! Every new year, I resolve to get in the habit of doing my dirty dishes before I hit the hay, but some days I am too tired and feel it would be better to tackle in the morning…only to be faced with all sorts of next-day-cleaning conundrums.

Currently, I have bowls and pans with dried up goop from baking Chocolate Peppermint Cherry Cookies and Mincemeat Apple Pies. I’m sitting here this cold morning wondering what I should tackle first – and then my stomach rumbles and I realize that I NEED some breakfast!

Comforting Gingerbread Oatmeal Recipe

On cold winter mornings, a steaming bowl of creamy oatmeal works wonders to get the chill out of my old bones and gets me to tackling all those dirty dishes from the night before. This comforting Gingerbread Oatmeal was exactly what I needed. Since I’m still trying to get over my holiday over indulgences, I figured I’d keep this oatmeal on the lighter side.

For this oatmeal, I used 1% lactose free milk (shout out to all my fellow lactose intolerant friends), some cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and blackstrap molasses, then sweetened it with a tad bit of brown sugar. The result was a comforting bowl of oatmeal to start off my day and motivate me to tackle that mound of dishes!
