My views, reviews, and how-tos
There are tons of recipes out there for overnight oats. But I haven’t seen any that also include a recommendation for the exact jars to use.
So I decided to write my own. Here’s my recipe and the exact jars I use from Amazon!

It started out as a “microwave cobbler in a mug,” but when I broke the handle off my microwave and could no longer open it, I transitioned over to my oven.
I removed as much sugar as I could, so this treat is only 315 calories!

I accidentally bought broccoli slaw instead of coleslaw mix the first time I made it, and I ended up liking it so much, I decided to use broccoli slaw from then on!

And yet, the older I get, the harder it is to incorporate these little beauties into a healthy diet.
