Three Things Thursday
1. It is almost the weekend. It is Thursday. this means its one day closer to the Friday. 🙂 I have a low-key weekend planned which may include brunch at my favorite bakery with Chris, along with a half marathon on Sunday where I can finally sleep in my own bed the night before. I am excited! 2. The return of fall foods. This morning I finally gave in to my pumpkin pie steel-cut oats craving!

They are really super easy to make and much more creamier than rolled oats. Since I wasn’t a huge fan of pure pumpkin in my oats (gasp!), I tried pumpkin butter, and it was amazing!!
