Deck your bowl, tis the season!
The morning of December 25th starts early in most households, especially those with children! With the flurry of activities and excitement, you probably don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen but you’ll still need Breakfast.
Overnight Oatmeal is such a favorite for my kids that we may end up having it for our family breakfast on Christmas morning. I wanted to make their favorite bowl of oatmeal festive in honor of the Christmas season, so I have been garnishing a little more elaborately. The song is “Deck the bowls with boughs of holly”, right?
With these quick tricks you can deck your bowls too!
How To Make an Apple Christmas Tree
Cut off one side of a green apple just outside of the core (to avoid the stem and seeds).
Place the apple slice on cutting board and trim to the shape of a Christmas tree.
Cut apple triangle into slices.
Slightly push the slices down to create overlap and transfer to the top of your oatmeal or whatever you are planning to garnish.
Scatter with dried cranberries (as ornaments) and top with a whole star anise pod
Enjoy!
