Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

Want to know the quickest way to my heart? Just meander on through my ribcage and stab through the pericardial sac.

Want to know the second quickest way to it? Pumpkin.

But you're a regular reader, you probably knew that already. I just had to make sure you were aware of the first method. (Which I'd appreciate you not partaking in.)

Pumpkin is my bro, homie, boo, g, and Valentine. I can always depend on that squash to squash all possibilities of a dish tasting like dirty doornails. This is one of my favorite ways to jazz up oatmeal. I save dirty doornail oats for my "I need to go to the grocery store" days.
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal     Serves: 1
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2 T. pumpkin puree
1 T. brown sugar
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. allspice
1/8 t. nutmeg
1 t. vanilla extract
Chopped pecans

1.) Microwave the oats according to the canister's directions. Stir in the pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and vanilla. Top with a handful of chopped pecans.
