Chai Mule Oatmeal

Guys! This recipe is an instant favorite! I had never heard of Chai Mules before, but once I learned about this fun take on classic oatmeal I had to try it out! So what is a Chai Mule you may ask? Its oatmeal made with chai tea instead of milk or water. Yes, it’s a simple ingredient swap, but it makes all the difference!

After filling my kitchen with the sweet, spicy scent of chai tea, I pulled the oatmeal off the stove and poured it into a bowl. I couldn’t wait for it to full cool down before giving it a taste, so while savoring my first bite I also burnt my mouth…not ideal! But when something smells that good, can you blame a girl?!

Pumpkin Spice French Toast

I never considered myself an early riser, but I’m a creature of habit. Even though my alarm is turned off on the weekends, I still wake up around the same time as a work-day. This has created a few hours of solitude in the morning as Ian has no trouble sleeping in!

I fill this time with bubble baths, diving into a book or spoiling Ian with a warm breakfast. Over the weekend I chose the latter and puttered around the kitchen testing out a new recipe – Pumpkin Spice French Toast! The spices are mild, but the warm flavors still come through with every bite.
