Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are my answer to busy mornings, the make-ahead breakfast that lets future-me sleep a few extra minutes. It is a long way from the champurrado and chilaquiles mornings of my childhood, but it carries the same lesson my mom lived by: a little planning is its own kind of love. I stir a jar together before bed and wake up to breakfast already done, ready to dress up however I am feeling. Make a few jars at once, get creative with the toppings, and let your mornings feel a little more handled.
