Simplicity of Oatmeal (rediscovered) with a Twist

 I simply was craving something different and refreshing for breakfast. So I took an old, but fulfilling standby -- oatmeal -- and added a few items to give it a "fresh" taste. I used brown sugar (instead of white) and blackberries for this satisfying meal. I eliminated milk -- just to enjoy the flavors purely.

 The combination of warm oatmeal and cool, juicy blackberries was a treat! It reset my tastebuds and brought back the comforting pleasure of eating oatmeal. Yum!

Items Used: 
         Quaker Oats Oatmeal

         Teaspoon of brown sugar

         Blackberries (Aldi's Grocery)

P.S. I'm not one to mix fruit with my food (pancakes and the like) so this was a change for me. I love fruit so when I eat it I usually want the taste of the fruit. So mixing these items was a definite keeper.

Forgive Me. I'm Back Though

 Good afternoon:
  First, let me apologizing for being away so long. I had a few projects I had to finish, taking time away from this blog. But I continued to cook and try different things so I have lots to share. And I'm so excited because I've "found" or "rediscovered" some simple pleasures!
  Stay tuned. The first to come shortly will be on oatmeal. Oh don't frown. It's a treat -- at least it was for me, and I hope it will be for you.
