Day After Christmas Oatmeal

Day After Christmas Oatmeal

After eating to your heart's content on Christmas day and spending time with family late into the night, a quick, easy, healthy, make ahead breakfast is a great way to get back on track the next morning.  This recipe is simple to throw together the night before and can be made using whatever type of fruits and nuts you have on hand. After sitting in the fridge overnight, it is easy to grab while you pour yourself a cup of coffee or head out the door to go back to work! (or shop!)
