  1. Amazing article. I read your posts all the time and you
    always do a good job articulating the whatever topic
    you’re writing about. Btw, I shared this on LinkedIn and my followers loved it.
    Keep up the great work!

  2. I’ve made a very similar recipe and the family LOVES it, my daughter says it’s like apple pie married an oatmeal bar. I sometimes add almonds and/or dried cranberries. It even makes a ncie warm breakfast (better than packed instant oatmeal)
