For as long as I can remember I've loved oatmeal as a breakfast option. Although I gotta admit I've come a long way from the days of mixing the contents of a little paper packet with water and popping it in the microwave. If I'm going to eat oatmeal, I want the good stuff. I prefer steel cut oats made with almond milk and when I make them at home, I usually add raisins and cinnamon.
Recently, I was staying in a hotel and ordered oatmeal for breakfast and y'all would laugh at how excited I got when it arrived. Also, I'm sure the waiter thought I was crazy when I started arranging the table to get the best possible photo.
I just couldn't not share this idea in the form of an adorable caddy holding the oatmeal add-ins. It included almonds, dried papaya, pistachios, brown sugar, banana chips and raisins in cute little jars. Wouldn't this make eating oatmeal at home even more fun? Plus, I've never thought to put pistachios or dried papaya in my oats...but it was amazing!
What's your favorite way to eat oatmeal? Are you a brown sugar & cinnamon person or do you prefer dried apples and maple syrup?
Happy Monday friend! I hope your week is off to a grand start!
I normally eat mine with raisins but I will have to try it with other dried fruits now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love oatmeal also. Sometimes I eat it for dinner. I used to eat the old fashioned rolled oats, but now I eat the steel cut. I buy McCann's Quick and Easy. I haven't mastered cooking the regular steel cut oats yet. I cook mine in water and then add margerine and splenda (I used to use suagar, but I now don't eat sugar) I eat mine with fresh blueberries, blackberries, strawberries or raspberries. When not in season, I eat mine with Target brand frozen Wild Maine Blueberries. I also like mine with raisins.
ReplyDeleteFresh berries and walnuts - no need for anything else to sweeten it up!
