January Fun Facts!

- Historically, January is a very popular month. The Gulf War began on Jan. 16, 1991. The first Superbowl game was played on Jan. 15, 1967 with the Green Bay Packers vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. The first heart transplant was performed on Jan. 24, 1964, and Samuel Morse first demonstrated the telegraph on Jan. 6, 1838.

- January is named after the Roman god Janus, who was always shown as having two heads. He looked back to the last year and forward to the new one.

- More couples separate or divorce in January than in any other month.

Overnight

Oats

Overnight oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to five days. So, prepare your oats on Sunday night, and you’ll have breakfast covered for the work week.

Here’s my favorite recipe for overnight oats! Feel free to make it your own. Overnight oats are a simple, healthy breakfast that you can make ahead for busy mornings. The recipe below yields 1 serving, so make as many servings (each in a separate jar) as you’d like.

Ingredients ⅓ cup homemade muesli, or oldfashioned oats plus ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon chia seeds 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter ½ cup milk of choice for a very thick consistency, or up to ⅔ cup milk for a lighter consistency ½ cup fruit (I like fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries, or sliced fresh strawberries) Drizzle of maple syrup or honey, if desired Instructions In a jar or bowl (a 14-ounce working jar or 1-pint mason jar is perfect), combine the muesli (or old-fashioned oats and cinnamon), chia seeds and nut butter. Add a splash of the milk and mix the nut butter into the oats.

Then add the rest of the milk and stir to combine.

Top with your fruit of choice. (If you

used more milk than ½ cup and you want your fruit to stay on top, wait to top the oats until you’re ready to serve. If you’re using fruit that doesn’t store well, like sliced apple or banana, wait to top the oats until you’re ready to serve).

Place the lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight, or up to 5 days. When you’re ready to serve, add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if you’d like, and enjoy chilled.

Notes Make it gluten free: Use certified gluten-free oats.

Make it vegan: Choose one of the dairy-free milk options available.

If adding additional sweetener, use maple syrup instead of honey.

Make it nut free: Omit the nut butter or replace it with sunbutter. If you’re using muesli, follow my instructions for making nut-free muesli in the recipe notes for that recipe.

Warm it up: Overnight oats are typically served chilled. However, if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave. Just use a microwave-safe jar and stir frequently while you’re warming them up. Since the oats are so thick, I’m not sure this would work well on the stovetop, but you could give it a try.
