Oatmeal Mornings

I don't know what to blog about, but I really feel like blogging!!!

(side note: I've come to accept that I enjoy using an excessive number of exclamation points!)

I'm drinking really strong coffee and listening to the new Shane & Shane CD that Natalie gave me (it is so great!). Also, I am eating oatmeal that I made with half-water-half-egg-nog (also great!)and then I added plain yogurt (is oatmeal not so versatile?).

I tell Steph I want to open up an oatmeal store and just make different kinds of oatmeal combinations. Wouldn't that be great? I so prefer oatmeal to any other breakfast food...although German cream of wheat has been growing on me...My affections are divided.

Anyway:

Really Good Oatmeal Combinations:

1) Oatmeal, cinnamon, coconut milk, banana
2) Oatmeal, cinnamon, almond milk, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries
3) Oatmeal, peanut butter, honey, banana
4) Oatmeal, cinnamon, a pear!

Pretty-Good Oatmeal Combinations:

1)Oatmeal, coconut milk, pineapple, banana, plain yogurt
2) Oatmeal, almond milk, walnuts, cranberries, raisins
3) Oatmeal, banana, chopped walnuts, greek yogurt (cherries are good too!)

If-You're-Feeling-Quirky Oatmeal Combinations:

1) Oatmeal, nutmeg, almond milk, sweet potato (or pumpkin!), yogurt
2) Oatmeal, egg nog, yogurt (and sometimes marshmallows)
3) Oatmeal, baked apple, shredded carrots

Combinations That You Think Will Be Good...But That Then Aren't:

1) Oatmeal, milk, NesQuick powder (this was TERRIBLE)

So there is my blog devoted to oatmeal. Oatmeal is one of my life-joys.

Oatmeal, reading over breakfast, good lighting---three of my life-joys.
