We ALL know about coffee time and I have to admit it is my personal favorite part of the day. I have to thank “Big Fish” Greiveldinger for that one. As a matter of fact, due to discipline and frequent training by Greiveldinger under the Allen Edmonds affiliates, I can drink coffee black. You heard me DD no cream or sugar. Ugh!


However, an essential part of my day is my oatmeal time. I have a bowl everyday and is the first thought out concern, after coffee time, on my list to start me off right. Some can remember at Mike’s bachelor party how I berated the Hardrock’s oatmeal. Well I wasn’t kidding, it sucked.


So……here is my recipe for a great bowl of oatmeal for you to enjoy.


½ cup of milk
¾ cup of regular oatmeal/ instant
1 banana
3 strawberries
A hand full of blueberries
1 Tbs of butter
1 packet of splenda/sweet n low/ sugar
Cinnamon


First, add milk and oatmeal in stovetop bowl, mix, and turn on medium. Don’t leave the kitchen for too long because you don’t want the oatmeal to stick to the pot. Keep stirring and let the mixture get thick or to your liking.


Next, lower heat, cut up banana, and adds so it becomes part of the oatmeal mixture.


When oatmeal looks not to soggy but not too thick, remove from heat and add blueberries, splenda, cinnamon, butter.


Mix it all up and transfer the oatmeal to a bowl. Once the oatmeal has been transferred, cut up the strawberries and put on top.


Perfecto!


*Diehards can add a pinch of salt to mix and maple syrup to add on top
