January is National Oatmeal month, and I am taking full advantage because there is nothing that I love more on a cold winter morning than to fill my belly with a warm and nutritious breakfast. I'll be honest here- I am NOT a morning person, so I tend stick with quick and easy breakfast solutions most days. I've been known to rip open some of those instant oatmeal packets on occasion, but really, they aren't that tasty and aren't very filling. On the weekend I will put a little more effort into breakfast prep though, and that's where I totally LOVE diving into a scrumptious bowl of Outstanding Oatmeal from Golden Blossom Honey.
Packed with oats, apples, raisins and walnuts, it is definitely not lacking in flavor. The flavor beats those instant packets any day of the week! It is so filling, I don't worry about getting to lunch with a rumbling tummy!

I am not the biggest fan of oatmeal, but yours sounds pretty good. Chris eats oatmeal almost everyday, so he would totally love this.

I just notice that January is the month for oatmeal :)..I usually eat oatmeal with veggies and tofu. I know it sounds weird but since I'm very careful with my sugar intake, I try cooking oatmeal with veggies like corn, carrots, peas, and greenbeans, mix it with tofu, garlic and onion and voilaaa..it tastes yummy :). But I bet your recipe is delicious. Bo will certainly devour it :)
ReplyDeleteIt was 73 degrees today. Too hot for oatmeal.
