morning oatmeal

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. B makes fun of my morning ritual of oatmeal making, but I really like it.

My Oatmeal in the morning

100ml of oatmeal -I have a measuring cup in the oatmeal tub, it's the only way I can be somewhat consistant with my portion sizes. It's the takes ten minutes to cook style.
1 T pumpkin seeds
1/2 t flaxseeds
1 t sunflower seeds
1 T dried cranberries
1/2 t cinnamon
2-3 T organic Meadows 2% yogurt

Boil water in kettle,
Combine oatmeal, cranberries and seeds in microwaveable cereal bowl.
Add enough water to cover.
Stir and nuke for 3.33min at 60% power. I know odd level and timing, but it's the only one that'll cook it just right without overflowing the bowl and spewing all over the microwave. That annoys me to no end.
Remove from microwave.
Add cinnamon and yogurt.
Stir and eat.

It's a party in your mouth-crunchy, chewy and smooth all at the same time.

  1. You forget to mention that it makes the whole house smell like pot...

    Smooth & crunchy = yogurt + granola, faster and easier!
