Classhy (CLASS-she):
The fusion of classy and trashy; when highbrow ingredients meet lowbrow concepts, and vice versa.

Good morning!!
It's the weekend again and hopefully you have a little time to chill out around the house and whip up some breakfast! During the week a lot of us don't have that extra couple hours for an uber delicious, nutritious meal first thing in the morning. One awesome way to hastily and tastily remedy the breakfast blues is with a nice trusty packet of instant oatmeal-- my personal favorites were always maple brown sugar and cinnamon spice! This morning, why don't ya grab a couple of your favorite flavors to bake up a fabulous batch of this week's
