 Have you tried oatmeal lately? It really is good for you!
Oatmeal With Fruit & Nuts - Serves 1
1 cup water
1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
pinch salt
2 tbsp dried cherries, currants or raisins, roughly chopped
1 tbsp toasted pecan pieces
2 tsp palm sugar (grate and then pack down - it's about 1 1/2 tbsp fluffy) or 2 tsp dark brown sugar
Bring the water to a boil and stir in the oats, along with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, then taste for texture - you might want to add another ounce or 2 of water and cook a little longer; add the cherries and stir for one minute and then place in bowl. Top with pecans and sugar. Yum!
