Gorgeous, timeless, romantic, magical…yes, I am talking about today’s main event – the Royal Wedding! I was up and at it at 5:30 because I wanted to watch the ceremony, but instead of watching from my couch, I got my butt to the gym. Might as well knock out two birds with one stone!
My favorite part…
Kate’s dress of course!
When I told my mom how much I loved the dress, she agreed it was gorgeous but reminded me that my wedding attire will look slightly different! 
More like this perhaps…
Only time will tell… 
Anyways, earlier this week, I decided that in honor of the royal celebration, I would make a royal breakfast for moi!
I had been eyeing Katie’s Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal for a really long time and decided that today was the day! And let me tell you, it was a royal treat, and I honestly wish I hadn’t waited so long to make it! I was in foodie heaven as I took my first (and last) bite of this delicious breakfast! Chocolate Covered Katie, you are a Chocolate Covered Genius! I have a feeling I will be making baked oatmeal ALL the time.
Pretty much the only difference between my recipe and Katie’s is that since I don’t own a mini-loaf pan, I used a muffin pan. If you follow the recipe exactly, you’ll have yourself 4 little muffins…although you’ll wish you had more! Oh, and I used one tablespoon of maple syrup (she listed it as optional), and I used 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (which was also optional).
Please do yourself a favor and make these ASAP…you won’t regret it! Would I ever steer you in the wrong direction?!
I’m off to relax! I hope y’all have yourselves a royal evening!!
Awww you are a GEM! Loved this post so much!
And I actually think the second wedding attire is prettier… it’s more colorful and fun! But I agree that Kate did look gorgeous. Almost as gorgeous as your last photo with the chocolate chips hehe
.
You and your fabulous recipe inspired me!!!
oh my gosh those look so chocolatey ooey gooey delicious!
thanks for the rec I do need to try those 
have a wonderful weekend!
I’m making your chia PB oatmeal tomorrow morning! I’m on a roll with yummy breakfasts!
Yum! These look SO GOOD! I am getting more obsessed with the wedding even though it’s over, haha.
Me too! I think people will be talking/thinking about this wedding for years…if not forever!
I love everything about Indian weddings, without a doubt. But something about the gorgeous white dress, makes me wanna have a wedding like this too.
Kate’s dress was absolutely gorgeous.
My friend and I were talking about that last night. And then we brainstormed ways we could make it happen without objections!
I will admit that nothing beats Indian attire when it comes to weddings- every piece is gorgeous and elaborate in its own way. Although I remember from my sister’s wedding that they are super heavy to wear!
You’re absolutely right…it’s super heavy! And the ceremony lasts like 3-4 hours…eek! I think I’m going to go with a watered down version of the picture here…no doubt!
Hooray! I’m so glad we were crazy gym-goers together! ahahaha
Did you see her second dress for later in the evening? Just as amazing as the first one… sigh…
OMG yes! It was so elegant…I think I really did *sigh* LOL!
Never tried boatmeal. I need to though!And I have to say – I have always loved the traditional wedding look you showed you will likely wear. So gorgeous!
I think that Indian wedding attire is gorgeous! I’ve loved it ever since I saw Bend it Like Beckham!
Wow those look amazing! I love Katie’s boatmeal, so yummy and filling
