When I was a little girl, my mom would make me a hot bowl of oatmeal on a cold winter morning, and tell me that it would stick to my bones and keep me warm.....she was right! Spring is right around the corner, but I still enjoy oatmeal, even when the weather starts warming up.
Oatmeal is quite easy to make.... I use regular rolled oats... not quick oats.
About a half a cup of oats in a pan with about a half a cup of water and a third of a cup of milk... you can use any kind of milk you want I use regular milk sometimes I use soymilk or almond milk.
Cook the oats for about 5 minutes or read the directions on the package of your oats... add cinnamon if you'd like and some sugar or maple syrup for some sweetness.
At the end I add whatever else I want like cranberries, blueberries, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and shredded coconut.
It's up to you as to what you want to add... everybody like something different.
I usually put a little extra milk in it before I start to eat my oatmeal.
Really, I don't think you can go wrong with oatmeal, add some dried fruit, seeds, coconut, nuts and fresh fruit and you will have a hearty meal.
Enjoy!
