breakfast

Boring title I know, but as I'm writing this my lower back is in PAIN...  Which I will blame on the Buns of Steel step workout that I did yesterday. 

Don't let the boring title stop you from reading and making this Oatmeal; it's to die for.  This seriously is the best oatmeal I have EVER had.  My oatmeal usually is just boiled oats with brown sugar on top...boring!  I found this recipe in last months Parenting the Early Years magazine. I made it this morning and fell in love with it... Seth enjoyed it as well.  I did change a few things up on the recipe!  This was actually Seth's first non baby oatmeal.

Yummy Oatmeal
Serves 4 (1-cup servings)
2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
2 cups milk
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Combine oatmeal, milk, water and salt  bring to a simmer over medium heat four about 10 minutes, stirring often. Let sit for 5 minutes.  If you like your oatmeal runnier, stir in a splash more milk or water until you've got the consistency you're after.

Toppings. 1/4 cup  walnuts, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and  2 Tbsp of maple syrup or honey.  ( I did maple syrup simply because I have two gallons of homemade maple syrup from WISCONSIN!)   Serve oatmeal with 2 thinly sliced bananas, walnut topping, and maple syrup! YUM
