My friend Amy has been reminding me for years about the chai-spiced oatmeal we had once in college. I do not blame her though-it was really good (thank you, Kyle). I made a mental note to get creative with my spice cabinet and write down a basic recipe to send to her. It has only taken […]

I made this for the first time when I was doing Whole30 with Patrick and it’s been a recipe that stuck around ever since.
