Veggies for Breakfast: Zucchini Bread Baked Oatmeal

This post is going to be short because...I'm running my first half-marathon tomorrow (YAY!). This is actually my third attempt at training for and running a half-marathon, but the first two times I injured myself around mile 10 of training and wasn't able to race. I'm thrilled to be injury free! But before I hit the sack for some good pre-race sleep, I wanted to share with you another oatmeal recipe. I have to say, there's nothing like veggies for breakfast, especially when they're hidden! If you're looking for an easy way to eat more vegetables, try this breakfast out!
