Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Banana Baked Oatmeal

for Christmas this year mr. handsome and i bought the kids an 8 week ski lesson package at mount norquay.

not only does this mean the kids will learn a crucial canadian sport, but i get to go to my beloved mountains every Sunday and channel my inner ski bunny while i lodge fireside with a plate of fries and hot cocoa.

also, it has peanut butter & chocolate.
what more could you ask for in a sunday?
