Happy holiday weekend!  Although the root of this holiday is not so noble, I am thankful to have an additional day tacked on to my weekend.  I’ve been under the weather the last couple of days, so some much needed rest is in order!  T made this amazing oatmeal to warm me up – the amazingly comforting kind that transports you back to your childhood.  This recipe had almonds and figs in it, so I couldn’t help but take a picture and share!

In addition to a handful of chopped almonds and figs, add a dash of sugar and top with a light pour of maple syrup.  Here’s to a cozy [long] weekend!
