the quest for the perfect easy bowl of oatmeal

[equus123]

Easiest--uncooked with walnuts and blueberries (fresh or frozen) and fat-free vanilla yogurt. Sticks with you, but it's not exactly a warm breakfast.

Yours isn't warm...mine isn't oatmeal....

But I really love Grape Nuts in Dannon Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt - delish!!

In last 2 years, I restarted having abit of microwaved oatmeal (about less than 1 c.) for brekkie with abit of skim milk. Real fruit..whatever we have in fridge on hand. Blueberries or raspberries only when in season and cheap. No sugar nor raisins necessary for my oatmeal bowl.

It has to be microwave, I'm jumping onto the bike for work commute, just before 5:30 am to start work..after dragging outta bed at 4:30 am.

Before oatmeal now...last time I had oatmeal..was when I was 19. I had it often as kid and teenager. It was made in a big pot over stove, for 6 children ..and lots of milk added to it. But no sugar nor spices. Probably a good thing.

I used think of oatmeal..as ugh. But now, a great quick breakfast start for early/lazy birds...
