    Happy Monday, April, May, and everything in between!

    Things are starting to come to a close with my dietetic internship. On Wednesday, I will finish my renal rotation, one of the most challenging ones so far! Next up is nutrition support, followed by 2 final weeks in the weight management clinic at the VA. And after that, I will be on my way to sit for the RD exam. What an eventful 10 months!

    To fuel my busy, long days, I always make sure to eat a balanced, filling breakfast. One of my favorite recipes to make for weekday mornings involves the MVP of kitchen gadgets: the slow cooker! I am constantly amazed at the versatility of this appliance, and could not believe how it turned out creamy, delicious steel cut oats in just a few short hours.

    I first tried this recipe on a rainy spring day when I was in the mood for a warm meal. But I’ve come to realize that it’s suitable all year round. If you’re looking for a nutritious breakfast that will keep you satiated all morning long, give this one a try!

    Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats

    To increase the protein in this recipe, consider adding 1-2 tablespoon of peanut butter. You can keep this recipe for 5-7 days in the fridge. I tend to portion it out into 1 cup containers to take to work and reheat.
