You know how the south is well known for their indulgent
breakfast foods? Biscuits and sausage gravy, grits, all the meats... Well, unfortunately,
as a southern girl, this is all lost on me. To be perfectly frank, unless it’s
pure sugary decadence, I’m not a big fan of breakfast foods. I mean, I love
bacon, but that’s like the one non sweet breakfast food I like. For a long time,
unless it was pancakes, waffles or donuts, I didn’t eat breakfast. Which, means
there were a TON of days that I just didn’t eat breakfast. There were also a
ton of days where I didn’t even care about not eating breakfast.
Of course, in the past few years, as I’ve taken time to
invest in my health, breakfast has made an appearance. But my love for sweet
over savory for breakfast hasn’t changed. What HAS changed is that I try to
make those sweet breakfasts healthier, sometimes. (And by healthier, I mean,
healthier as it relates to me, and my eating goals for some people it may be as
far from healthy as they could possibly get, so really, honestly take “healthier”
with a grain of salt)
This oatmeal is really versatile. It’s great because you can
throw it together the night before and then you just let it meld until the next
day when you eat it. It’s a no fuss, filling meal.
