Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Of all of God's vegetable creations, the pumpkin has to be one of His yummiest. This semi-annual blogger is a fan of all things pumpkin: pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup (especially at the German restaurant Fünfschilling in Fischingen), pumpkin cake, pumpkin spice lattes, and pumpkin Coffee Mate.

Hmm. Is that really how you spell pumpkin?

I have now discovered baked oatmeal here in ex-pat land, and today I turned it into pumpkin baked oatmeal. :) (This dish, by the way, is already very popular in the northeastern region of our beloved homeland, but it's a relative first for this southern girl.)

Enjoy!
