Since I was snowed in last week, I took it upon myself to make a warm and hearty breakfast!Starbucks claims they have the perfect oatmeal but I have to dissagree (sorry James). I eat oatmeal daily during the winter time (can't seem to get hot stuff down during the summer months i.e. oatmeal, soups, stews, etc.). I usually go for the "quick oats" and just add water.
Quick oats do not equate to oatmeal packets with the flavorings; we are talking straight oats, no flavor, no sugar, no fun. I add raisens and cinnamon to spice it up a bit, literally.
Well, I made an impulse buy at Trader Joe's last week and came home with steel cut oats; the kind that take a good ten minutes to make and over the stove with lots of stirring ;) I added some dried pears and candied walnuts and... YUM!
I enjoyed my hearty oats as the snow fell... and fell... and is probably still falling.
Happy winter!
