February 2024 - Page 2 of 2 - Buttercups & Burlap

I don’t know about you but I am most definitely getting behind the “Mob Wife” trend. Its sort of perfect for a chilly February; and it goes to show you that you don’t have to be frumpy to stay warm.

The key components to this look are a fluffy or “fur” coat, lots of sparkly or preferably gold jewelry and animal print.

I am finally joining the trend of overnight oats… and yes, I realize I am so incredibly late to the party. They gained immense popularity in 2012 and have hung on because they are rich in fibre and protein. You can load them with vitamins and minerals such as manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Overnight oats were part of the “enhance your gut health” movement, the “meal prep” and “nutritious breakfast on the go” craze.

I tested out a few; and to be honest so many of the recipes have a TON of ingredients which I wasn’t a fan. Although this recipe has a fair amount of ingredients that I normally don’t have on hand –it’s deliciousness trumped my fussiness…
