Blackberry Cobbler Baked Oatmeal with Walnut Crumble
Phew, that was a big title to spew out, but I just had to draw attention to the crumble that’s on top of this baby. My golly it’s good. Yes, I said, golly. I am fully aware that I speak like I’m 80 (see also dagnabit, oh mercy, sweet heavenly days and more). I’m totally over the whole foul language thing. I think some can’t say a full sentence without swearing, but I’m all about the classy lady who doesn’t need a filthy mouth. Only pretty things going in and pretty things going out. Like this blackberry cobbler baked oatmeal with walnut crumble that I made for our Fisher Nuts post.
When I was a little girl I got mad at one of my older sisters and though I still have absolutely no clue what I said I know that I must have cussed at her because suddenly she was tattling on me and my parents made me wash my mouth out with a little soap. I believe that’s the only time I ever washed my mouth out, but it made a lasting impression. You are what you say, so better to be uplifting in the way you speak.
While there are those who only speak in a negative way there are also those who are so lovely, faithful and hopeful to be around. This month is Heart Awareness month so I wanted to bring a more heart healthy recipe to you all (you guys, it tastes like dessert and it’s better for you! You are welcome!) which got me thinking. We have two friends with babies who know a lot about hearts already. They are such wonderful people and though they’ve carried a heavy burden they speak with love and hope. I thought I would introduce them because they have inspired me to be more aware of the burdens others carry and to have more gratitude for my health and the health of those I love.
Our hearts work harder than we do, never tiring or taking breaks yet we rarely think of what a gift they are. Oats, berries and walnuts are all fantastic sources of nutrients for our bodies and specifically our hearts so why not eat something that will be good for us. And while you’re whipping it up with those yummy walnuts in the brown sugar crumble on top read on about these two champions.
