Overnight Stone Ground Oats

I really got into overnight oats recently with rolled oats, so I decided I'd give it a try with steel cut oats as well. 

I found this oatmeal in the grocery store and decided to give it a go. I love coconut and coconut milk, so I used that this time around. With steel cut oats you use a 1:1 ratio of liquid to oats. After some experimenting, I found that a 1:2 ratio of oats to liquid works best. In this instance, I like to use 1/3 of a cup of oatmeal to 2/3 of a cup of coconut milk. 


I'll often add a little something else to the oatmeal to give it different flavoring. My ultimate favorite is the dark chocolate sea salt caramel sauce from Stonewall Kitchen. I'll also mix in some of my homemade triple berry jam at times too. I'll make a few batches and will throw them in the fridge overnight or for a few nights and will just heat them up the next morning for about 2 minutes. Super easy!

Spinach and Feta Omelet

Sometimes I enjoy having breakfast for dinner. Yesterday I did just that, enjoying a great spinach and feta omelet. 
I started by chopping up a little spinach - two big handfuls since it reduces down so much.

Then I sautéed it in the garlic herb butter I made (garlic, parsley and unsalted butter). I used about a teaspoon of butter for the spinach. 

While the spinach was cooking up, I threw two eggs and about 1/4 cup of milk in a bowl and whisked it up.

I probably use a little more milk than others traditionally use, but I like it a little more creamy.

When the spinach is almost all wilted I add the eggs to the pan. I don't wait until the spinach is completely cooked down because it will cook more when the eggs are added.

I'll run a rubber spatula around the edge of the pan and get the runny egg to the surface of the pan to cook more.

Fip the omelet when you just start to see a little color either using a spatula or a plate. I opted for the plate to not make a big mess. I then added a handful of feta to one side of the omelet and folded the egg over to help melt the cheese.

That's it! Enjoy this simple yet delicious omelet.
