Cranberry Overnight Oatmeal Recipe
This cranberry overnight oatmeal is a wonderful blend of tart and sweet that is perfect for waking you up gently in the morning.
It’s been seven months now since my mom passed away and I find myself sometimes still cooking for her. I’ll make recipes she enjoyed just so that I can enjoy the memories of her eating them while Mini Chef and I have dinner. It’s one of the many ways I remember her every day.

My mom loved cranberries. Sadly, because of medication she was on, she couldn’t have them. But for the holidays, the doctor allowed her to have a bit of cranberry sauce. Just a taste, but at least she got to have some. She enjoyed that cranberry sauce so much and I smile every time I think of it. The woman really did love her cranberries, and I do too.
So I couldn’t pass up the chance to add that wonderful tart and sweet flavor to some oatmeal. I tossed in a few pecans for good measure, and ended up with a bowl of oats that even Mini Chef enjoyed! (And that’s saying something these days!)
