I need to tell you all about pumpkin oatmeal…

pumpkin-oatmeal I’ve read about adding pumpkin to oatmeal often, it’s an old Weight Watchers favorite thing to do, but never tried it until this week.  Oh my, have I been missing out!!!

Cook a 1/2 cup serving of Old Fashioned Oats, I put mine in the microwave for about three minutes, then stir in 1/4 cup canned pumpkin, a heaping teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, I added more cinnamon and a pinch of cloves, and a splash of fat-free half and half.

It’s warm, filling, tastes like you’re eating pumpkin pie, well kinda…  This stuff is amazing, and the increased fiber from the pumpkin really fills you up.  Give this a try, girlfriends, it’s a keeper recipe…

So yummy! I'm glad oatmeal season is coming back. I tend to stay away from it in the summer.
