Today is the day. The day I post my last recipe here on LaurenGaskillinspires.com. I’ll always do recipe development on the side (if the companies will still have me!), but this is the last one for this little blog. Because, as I mentioned at the new site launch party a few weeks ago — God has called me to focus on other things.
Hear me out on this though: If you ever need a recipe suggestion, please reach out to me! I am always happy to point people to new, delicious and nourishing recipes. I will still be cooking and baking seven days a week in my house, so you can bet I’ll always have something up my culinary sleeves.
I couldn’t think of a better way to sign off my recipes than with this amazingly delicious batch of slow cooker steel cut oats with a pumpkin pie twist. If you hang out around me in the morning around this time of you, you can bet I’m noshing on this recipe. It is sheer comfort in a bowl! When I eat it in the morning, I feel like I’m being hugged in the sweetest way. Who doesn’t want a hug in the morning? Exactly. So what are you waiting for? Get to making this already! 😉 All you need is a slow cooker, so no excuses now. XOXO, Lauren.
