Cranberry Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie Cake (for breakfast!)

Remember that breakfast oatmeal cookie cake concoction I made in the crock pot last week? I didn’t think it could get any better, but it did.

Chia Seed Review: Ruth's Foods Chia Goodness

A while back, someone from Ruth’s Foods contacted me asking if I’d like to try their Chia Goodness products.
