Given that we are from south Louisiana, it goes without saying that my mother-in-law is one of the best cooks I know and gave me this recipe. These are both visually appealing and delicious because to the diced up dried cranberries.

Way too thick,
Spices didn’t blend very well. The oat were a little over cooked. I do plan to try again with some adjustments.
Well, I can’ t imagine what I did wrong , but I woke up eagerly expecting a bowl of yumminess and instead found a soupy mess. I followed the recipe exactly, but It is a nearly inedible goo. And the crock pot has stuff cooked onto it that is going to be a job to clean up. Yuck. Had high hopes. Big fail.
