13 Of My Favorite Original Overnight Oatmeal Recipes

Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts! There are so many options and variations. Below are a few of my favorites to give you some ideas, but don't be afraid to get creative with them!

For example, instead of using 1/2 cup of plain quick oats, you can always use a packet of flavored instant oats! You could even try a flavor of Greek yogurt other than the one I suggest in the recipe or change up the fruits. The variations are limitless!

I gave some suggestions for toppings, too, but you can really add whatever toppings you want! In my opinion, you can never go wrong with adding more toppings before you eat overnight oats - the more, the merrier - especially when they are nut butters, fruit, and granola for a little crunch!

Also, here's a little tip: make your overnight oats in a jar of nut butter that has about 2 to 4 tbsp. left in it... you can thank me later.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
