JuBella.com - Get Your Creative Dose

Good Morning Everybody! I sure hope that you all had a delightful weekend! I am geared up for a week of creative endeavors…how about you? So this “Monday Morning” breakfast is quite simple yet comforting. I especially love a warm bowl of fresh rolled oats during the fall & winter time, especially when it is garnished with sweet brown sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon & salt, a dash of vanilla, and warm and tender baked apples resting on top…Mmmm. Our little one loves it this way and he actually likes it along with some plump raisins. Anyhow, this would work great with some freshly sliced peaches or apricots as well, or do a fruit medley of fresh fruits like plums, apricots, and peaches together…oh my…Yum! So, off to another week we go…I hope it’s a good one for us all! Happy Monday!

Good morning creative people!! So, I thought it would be fun to start a series of “Good Morning Monday” posts. I will post up a breakfast or brunch recipe or photo that is either from my own kitchen or one that I find on the web every Monday morning. Here is the first one from Simply Her Magazine. What do you all usually have for breakfast? Tea…coffee…cereal…toast & jam…? take a pic and send it on over. If you have a recipe or pretty photo that you would like to share then send it on over to me and I will consider featuring it in the “Good Morning Monday” posts!

There are some great interviews coming up this week and be sure to check in tomorrow to be inspired by the lovely Jennifer Ramos of Made by Girl! Happy Monday!
