Right after the Fourth of July, I got an email. 

The subject line left me a little perplexed. 

FALL TRENDS is all it said. 

Wait. WHAT? Does that mean the Fourth of July is the end of summer? Last time I checked we had at least a full month to discuss ice cream, pool parties, dining al fresco, and summer produce. In no way is my mind ready to chat about flannel, boots or pumpkin. 

Doesn’t this seem odd? Or is the movement by the PSL folks to get us to chat more about fall before it dips below 92 degrees? Anyway, I instantly deleted the email and told myself to focus on summer because in three months you’ll have a baby and have all the time to enjoy fall-ish weather. 

So, to keep us all distracted, I thought we could use a treat on this Monday. I am a sucker for old school desserts whether brownies, blondies or cupcakes. But I’m currently digging these Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Moon Pies. Besides the simplicity of ingredients like dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and Bob’s Red Mill Old Fashioned Oats they are easy to put together. 

Fun fact about Bob’s Red Mill oats: they help you feel fuller longer and contain more soluble fiber than any other grain. So that means you definitely need to make a big batch to snack on all week long. Just don’t forget the marshmallow frosting to sandwich in between the pies. It will make your seven year-old self giddy.
