I’m just a little bit obsessed with overnight oats

March 2, 2017

Let’s just start this off by saying I’m not a fan of oats on a good day. Except when my sister-in-law makes it because she cooks it to death with generous amounts of elachi and cinnamon. Best! I can never get it right though. Now that I’m back at work, I need to make sure that I keep my milk supply up and I read that oats can help with that.
