Banana Nut Steel Cut Oatmeal

Sunday's are my favourite morning of the week.  They're relaxed in nature and I make sure to keep it that way.  
Saturday's are errand driven, Sunday's are for family time.  
This morning we had one of my favourites.  Steel cut oats.  Although time consuming, nothing quite beats them.  So while they simmer away on the stove top and the house is quiet with sleeping dogs, husbands and children.  This leaves me time for my newest obsession.  Pinterest.  Coffee in hand and browsing images for fashion ideas, artwork and DIY crafts.  
Good Morning.
