A Holiday Gift from me to you
Since a couple of people asked, here are 2 fruity variations on crockpot oats. Really, its a great base for many different variations, so get creative! The cranberry is actually a little sweet for me, so a little less sweetner may be in order, although my sweet tooth is GONE, so maybe don't pay any attention to me LOL. The banana is heaven on earth though, and DH loves it too... who would have thought!
