Crock Pot Pumpkin Apple Spiced Steel Cut Oats with Black Tea with White Stevia
(Inspired)
Morning! A grand way to end my 365 days of breakfast this year is with a bowl of apple pie. Even my bedroom smelled like an apple pie was baking all night! Although the pumpkin messed a bit with the flavor, it added a creamy smooth texture that was right up my ally. Why haven't I made this sooner? Better late then never I suppose. One last 09 breakfast!
Can you believe I've almost taken a picture of every breakfast I've had for a year? Prior to My Breakfast Blog I produced several fashion blogs as the photographer and writer so being that My Breakfast Blog is almost a year old surprised me. Honestly I never thought I would find this much joy and contentment in food blogging. Time flies when your having fun. A new year brings a new clean slate, one can enter it with whatever attitude they choose. I think in order to end this year on a good note it would be the perfect time to take a stroll down memory lane..just a refresher before closing this chapter! So many things have changed personally food wise...I've become vegetarian, sufficient in the kitchen and finally learned how to season properly. Not only that but I've learned some amazing tricks of the oatmeal trade, that kind hearted people do exist and art can be in the form of food. But the biggest accomplishment of the year has to be learning to accept the past for what it is, focus on the present and look forward to the future! Enough will all the talk though, shall we get on with a little reminiscing though pictures?
March I made my first Oat Hot Cake
April I fell head over heels for Oat Bran!
May I started learning about the colors and flavors vegetables and fruit provided my plant-based diet.
June I made an amazing raw dessert, perfected the "Green Monster" and learned that eating chocolate and peanut butter again is delicious and healthy!
In July I made the best granola I've ever tasted and I introduced avocado's back into my life!
August was all about finding the love of my life, having the most amazing meal of my life and showing that I am not a robot :)
September I celebrated life with pancakes and shared my comfort food for all to see. Oh can't forget I learned how to work with natural lighting!
October I learned how to make "Yogurt Messes" , found beauty and the breakfast world was shook up when the deconstructed pumpkin cheese cake took the spotlight.
November I moved, dedicated myself to being healthy, told a story with my oats and shared my favorite dinner ever! Can't forget I got inspired by my sister's art!
And last December "SourOat" Bread was made, some rabbits came over for breakfast and I shared my favorite colors on top of an English Muffin.
I truly want to thank from the bottom of my heart everyone that reads my blog. I started in a somber state looking for a direction to take my blogging but through your comments and encouragement I believe I have found my calling...food photography! I cannot for one second take my loyal readers for granted who kept coming back to my blog no matter how quiet I was and how empty my plate looked. So thank you. I don't know what the 2010 brings, sheesh I don't know what tomorrow brings, but I do know that My Breakfast Blog will differently continue to flourish with all your support!
With all that being said I want to take this time to announce the opening of My Breakfast Shop!! Opening in January 2010 I'm going to work towards opening my own tiny vintage resale shop on ebay. I've been toying with idea for a while but I thought it would be the perfect time to follow my dreams and incorporate my passion for food, style and art by opening a shop just for My Breakfast Blog. Hopefully you will all enjoy my daily finds and with low prices be able to welcome these beautiful pieces into your own life collection. I've also received several requests on my recycled handmade jewelry and I'm happy to say that certain one of a kind pieces will be up for sale too! Thank you again for all your support and kindness! I can't wait to see what this year brings, cya "next year"!
