Gorgeous, timeless, romantic, magical…yes, I am talking about today’s main event – the Royal Wedding! I was up and at it at 5:30 because I wanted to watch the ceremony, but instead of watching from my couch, I got my butt to the gym. Might as well knock out two birds with one stone!
My favorite part…
Kate’s dress of course!
When I told my mom how much I loved the dress, she agreed it was gorgeous but reminded me that my wedding attire will look slightly different! 🙂 More like this perhaps…
Only time will tell… 😉
Anyways, earlier this week, I decided that in honor of the royal celebration, I would make a royal breakfast for moi! 🙂
I had been eyeing Katie’s Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal for a really long time and decided that today was the day! And let me tell you, it was a royal treat, and I honestly wish I hadn’t waited so long to make it! I was in foodie heaven as I took my first (and last) bite of this delicious breakfast! Chocolate Covered Katie, you are a Chocolate Covered Genius! I have a feeling I will be making baked oatmeal ALL the time.
Pretty much the only difference between my recipe and Katie’s is that since I don’t own a mini-loaf pan, I used a muffin pan. If you follow the recipe exactly, you’ll have yourself 4 little muffins…although you’ll wish you had more! Oh, and I used one tablespoon of maple syrup (she listed it as optional), and I used 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (which was also optional).
Please do yourself a favor and make these ASAP…you won’t regret it! Would I ever steer you in the wrong direction?!
I’m off to relax! I hope y’all have yourselves a royal evening!!
Awww you are a GEM! Loved this post so much!
And I actually think the second wedding attire is prettier… it’s more colorful and fun! But I agree that Kate did look gorgeous. Almost as gorgeous as your last photo with the chocolate chips hehe :).
You and your fabulous recipe inspired me!!! 🙂
oh my gosh those look so chocolatey ooey gooey delicious! 🙂 thanks for the rec I do need to try those 🙂
have a wonderful weekend!
I’m making your chia PB oatmeal tomorrow morning! I’m on a roll with yummy breakfasts! 🙂
Yum! These look SO GOOD! I am getting more obsessed with the wedding even though it’s over, haha.
Me too! I think people will be talking/thinking about this wedding for years…if not forever!
I love everything about Indian weddings, without a doubt. But something about the gorgeous white dress, makes me wanna have a wedding like this too.
Kate’s dress was absolutely gorgeous.
My friend and I were talking about that last night. And then we brainstormed ways we could make it happen without objections! 🙂
I will admit that nothing beats Indian attire when it comes to weddings- every piece is gorgeous and elaborate in its own way. Although I remember from my sister’s wedding that they are super heavy to wear!
You’re absolutely right…it’s super heavy! And the ceremony lasts like 3-4 hours…eek! I think I’m going to go with a watered down version of the picture here…no doubt!
Hooray! I’m so glad we were crazy gym-goers together! ahahaha
Did you see her second dress for later in the evening? Just as amazing as the first one… sigh…
OMG yes! It was so elegant…I think I really did *sigh* LOL!
Never tried boatmeal. I need to though!And I have to say – I have always loved the traditional wedding look you showed you will likely wear. So gorgeous!
I think that Indian wedding attire is gorgeous! I’ve loved it ever since I saw Bend it Like Beckham! 😀
Wow those look amazing! I love Katie’s boatmeal, so yummy and filling 😀
