"Sweet juicy blackberries soaked in bright lime and mint flavors with the faintest aroma of rum will perk you up even on the toughest mornings. You can add a teaspoon or two of chia seeds to make this extra thick."

I made a breakfast food. I know right. This is HUGE. I rarely post breakfast food. So this is a real treat. For you and my family. Who happen to love breakfast.
Truth be told I rarely eat breakfast. Which is horrible. I'll admit it's an awful habit. It's something that just sort of happened because of my IBS.
But this gal is kicking her "no breakfast" habit. We're attempting to make some changes to our routine at the B Compound. So why not start with breakfast.
So when I had the opportunity to work with my buddy Kathy on this event I jumped at the chance. Food and friends, that's the meaning of life right!
I whipped up her Blackberry Mojito Overnight Refrigerator Oats and was super pleased I chose this recipe. It is freaking amazing. I want to eat this every day, all the live long day.
You should make this. And eat this. Every day. All the live long day.
Grab the recipe, print that sucker off and get into the kitchen immediately. Whip it up before bed and bam, you have a tasty breakfast for morning.
Now here's the recipe, then we'll move onto the book and giveaway deets. You are going to want to buy Kathy's book so be sure to keep on reading! Plus there's a fabulous giveaway. I want YOU to win!

The "craziest" recipe I have ever made with oats is also the best....chocolate oatmeal cookies. They are so delicious.

I always have room for new kitchen gadgets!

I love kitchen gadgets. I think winning anything would be beneficial for my kitchen but I love anything to do with baking.
Tracy Spangler
My favorite tool is the OXO Cherry Pitter- I have 7 pounds of cherries waiting to be pitted and made into jams, claufouti and muffins, and there is no way I'm doing that all by hand! The product I would be most excited to win would be the Cupcake Corer. Until I watched some cooking shows I truly thought getting the inside bream, jam, chocolate, or anything inside a cupcake was a baker's secret! Now that I know, I can't wait to use one on my next batch of cupcakes! Thanks!
LISA MILLER
I would love to win this. Thanks for doing this.

I must be honest and say that I've never really ventured out. It is hard to get better than just oatmeal with brown sugar and walnuts.

I love their cookie scoops - I have them in several sizes!

I've only ever baked with oats, usually cookies and fruit crumbles.

I don't know the craziest thing I've made with oatmeal, but I do like a good oatmeal raisin cookie!
Glenda
I would love to win this giveaway. I could really use the measuring cups and spoons, and a new whisk. I would also love the offset spatula.
Glenda
This will be the craziest thing I have ever made with oats. When I have rum for breakfast. Maybe I will just have to do extract or flavoring.
Liz
Oooh, I'd love to win Kathy's book! And the OXO loot looks terrific, too...especially the cookie disher!
Laquandra R

The craziest dish I've made with oats is soup. I accidentally scooped out some steel-cut oats and put it in the soup. It 'worked' surprisingly well!

My favorite is the julienne peeler.

This recipe is BRILLIANT!! I am not a breakfast person and do not make breakfast for my family. This, however, is giving me reason to surprise them with something delicious that I do not have to fix when my mind is not yet working in the morning!

Great to discover all the different opinions on here.
