Like many of you, I’ve made a goal to be a little better to my body in 2014. Usually I try to be a little more original with my new year’s resolutions, but I still have a few lingering pounds of baby weight (and my baby is almost 2) and we just booked a sunny vacation to Cancun, so I’m buckling down yet again to eat healthier and get more exercise. And look better in a bikini.

I’m employing all the usual tactics, but I’m also trying something new this time. Thanks to a gift card from my husband to our local pool, I’m getting back into swimming. It’s one of my favorite things, but I haven’t done it in years. My first few days back were hard, but felt so good.

The problem is now I come home from the pool starving and my simple breakfast of yogurt and fruit isn’t cutting it anymore. I need something heartier and long-lasting. Turns out, baked oatmeal fits the bill, and deliciously at that.

Have you tried baked oatmeal? I’m actually a first-timer and it kind of blew my mind with how great it was. It’s chunky and creamy at the same time, and the raspberries and almonds are a winning combination.

I can’t wait to have another bowl (or two) tomorrow after my morning swim.

Want to make breakfast easier? Prepare the oatmeal the night before and chill it in the fridge while you sleep. The next morning, bake it straight from the fridge and enjoy a stress-free homemade and hearty breakfast.
