If that doesn’t warm up your chilly fall morning, then I don’t know what will! Warming chai spice from brewed tea, sweet caramelized pears, and creamy cinnamon-vanilla oatmeal come together for one perfect fall breakfast.

Inspired by the three finalist flavors, and in celebration of all things oatmeal, I created this new oatmeal recipe. I couldn’t find a pre-mixed chai spice in the grocery store. I was about to buy all the spices separately and make my own (which isn’t hard at all, just a bit tedious) but then I had the idea of using chai tea as the spice base – something I already had in my kitchen, and I bet you do too!

Brew a small mug of tea, chop your pear, and you’re all ready to go!

Bosc pears are my favorite, and I love the texture of their skin. The riper your pear, the sweeter your oats will be.

Begin with a little salted butter melted in a medium pot and cook the pear until the edges are brown, about 5 minutes.

And finally the brewed chai tea. Stir over medium heat for a few minutes until all liquid is absorbed.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
