Birthday Dinner, Cake, & Creme Horns

Update: I had posted the wrong link for the baked oatmeal and have now corrected it. Sorry.

Today started out behind. I did get my baked oatmeal put together last night, but I didn't get yesterday's post on until this morning. My power went off just as I was about to post everything last night. We had gotten a letter about the power company doing upgrades, saying that it would be off for a couple of hours, but I had forgotten.

Today's baked oatmeal version is sweet potato. My DD, Lindsay had the idea. She baked it first and said it was great, so I decide to try it out myself.

Sweet Potato Bake Oatmeal Version

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed

1/3 cup chopped pecans

I still included the flax, vanilla and cinnamon

I prefer the cranberry apple version, but this was good.

I had my oatmeal with vanilla Greek yogurt; my first time trying, and a fourth of a fuji apple sprinkled with a little cinnamon. The Greek yogurt is really thick, which I like and it's also not as sweet as regular yogurt, which I had read about it and was my reason for trying it. I will be getting more. I will have to try some other flavors also.

See that spoon standing up....now, that's thick.

I was running around this morning trying to get everything I need to do done before going to Mom's. I was running behind and running out of time. I didn't get everything I had planned to do done, but I got the most important stuff done and then we were out of here.

This Sunday was not just a Sunday dinner, but a birthday dinner for my sister, Cathy. We had a great time and great food. I'm getting the meat pics out of the way first and save the good stuff for last, lol.

Hamburgers for the carnivores.
