Thanks to my sister and Pinterest, I will be waking up the the awesome smell of Overnight Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal!! (Thanks sister and Pinterest! Squawk, squawk!) I love the idea of this recipe – I never have time to make steel cut oats in the morning. We will see how it executes, though. And by “we” I mean me. Unless you are at my house at 0600 tomorrow. And if you are, I suggest speaking softly and having a coffee in hand for me. Soy latte, thanks.
