My oatmeal

So everyone has heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so one of the things that I have focused on is not skipping out on that vital meal. But of course working a full time job and being a full time mom, and not to mention I am so not a morning person, who has time to fix breakfast? So instead of waking up to ramble around the kitchen trying to find something healthy to eat for breakfast before running out the house I found something that works for me.

 My solution was oatmeal and I eat it most days during the week because I work M-F.  I knew the packaged stuff was not the way to go because its heavily processed and has lots of added sugars generally.  I pretty much stick to steel cut oats for the simple reason that in my opinion they reheat better than old fashioned oats, they are both whole grains so its a healthy choice no matter which way you go. So what I do is prepare the oats at night and make enough for about 4 days and store it in mason jars, that way in the morning I grab it and go then I warm it up when I get to work. I use 4 cups of almond milk(vanilla if you choose) you can also use water, bring it to a slight boil add 1cup of the oats and stir it in, add a little brown sugar to taste (optional) turn it of a let it sit, simple as that. I top mine with apples, raisins, and  little cinnamon YUM!!!   Of course you can add any type of fruit or nuts.
