    Directions
    1. Bring water to a boil in a heavy, large saucepan, and stir in the oats. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook oats until they begin to thicken, about 10 minutes; mix in the apple, carrot, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Let the oats simmer until tender, about 20 more minutes.
    2. While the oats are simmering, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and stir in the pecans. Toast the nuts until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 5 minutes, then sprinkle with brown sugar and stir until sugar has melted and coated the pecans.
    3. Serve in bowls, each topped with about 2 tablespoons of the pecan mixture and a dollop of yogurt.

    I never had carrot cake oatmeal before so this recipe is quite new to me and I'm interested in trying it out one of these days. This looks like it will be so much fun to make so I'll put this one on my list for the future. It's fun to cook in the kitchen and to make something new every now and then.
