Oatmeal: Classic

I am not doing Weight Watchers for now. I decided to try to just incorporate healthier foods and cut back on portions. In lieu of this, today will be an ode to oatmeal. There's so much you can do with it, and it's so very healthy.

Growing up, all I knew of oatmeal was the classic recipe.

Minute oats, cooked

Sugar or brown sugar if you're feeling frisky

Little bit of milk

Butter

This is still one of my favorites, but I've discovered many more. Classic oats are now my oat of choice.

Oatmeal with Raisins

Classic oats, cooked

Raw sugar or local honey (to improve allergy symptoms!)

Little bit of milk

Raisins

Chopped pecans or walnuts

Cinnamon to taste (which regulates blood sugar levels and can improve memory - pass the cinnamon rolls!)

Oatmeal with Apples (my personal favorite, thanks to my past roomie, Hannah) Yum!

Classic oats, cooked

Raw sugar or local honey

Chopped apples

Chopped pecans or walnuts

Cinnamon to taste

And if you're really hungry... Add peanut butter!
