Saskatoon Berry & Banana Baked Oatmeal

the only thing i enjoy more than preparing meals from scratch, is doing so with ingredients i picked with my own two hands, or in this case, the hands of all my favourite people.

we spent the better part of yesterday morning enjoying the sunshine and countryside as we descended row upon row of saskatoon berry picking @ the farm

yesterdays labour = today's breakfast feast

now i have to figure out what to do with the remaining 10 cups of berries.....
