Cold Cereal & Hot Cereal


We needed to make a quick breakfast. I thought of cereal. Anthony thought of adding fruit to it. I got out all the ingredients and washed the fruit. Anthony sliced the apple. We passed baby Shastya Felisya back and forth while we prepared our breakfasts. When we finished prepping, I ate the cold cereal, and Anthony ate the hot cereal.

Banana Almond Oatmeal

So I'm not going to lie. Breakfast this morning wasn't amazing. It was a little watered down, too much water in my oatmeal. Oh well, next time. Wasn't bad either, I just ate it. Figured I could use the hydration. At least the bowl I made for Anthony had the right amount of liquid.

Specialty Oatmeal

This morning my husband woke up first, made coffee and oatmeal. When I got up, he gave me the rest of his oatmeal. It looked like it was mainly oats and water, maybe a few honey-roasted peanuts. I reheated the leftover oatmeal, crumbled chocolate chip oatmeal cookies over it, sprinkled dried dates on it, and trickled a little milk over it. Delicious.

Chunky Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

I thought about having cold quiche for breakfast this morning, but I am stuck in a rut I suppose having oatmeal for breakfast! I should open a gourmet oatmeal shop! I could serve 25 flavors. Now, to come up with them. I know that won't be a problem. Lol. Gingerbread Peppermint Oatmeal, Carrot Raisin Oatmeal, Avocado Walnut Lime Oatmeal, etc. No, I have not yet tried any of those. The possibilities are endless. Pickled Chicken Foot Soy Oatmeal. I rabbit trail. This morning I made a classic, apple cinnamon oatmeal. Quaker Oats would be proud.

Creamy Oatmeal Du Jour

This morning I got up and thought I would combine a couple of cold cereals for breakfast with some nuts. When I got to the kitchen though, I felt a little chilly. I decided to have hot cereal, oatmeal instead. You'll find the recipe below. Can I just say, it was amazing.

Breakfast This Morning

This morning I made harvest oatmeal for breakfast. I call it harvest oatmeal because of the ingredients I used. One of the ingredients I was not too sure about however, prunes. I probably won't put them in my oatmeal again anytime soon. I'm sure a taste can be acquired though. For instance, I used to not eat raisins in my oatmeal because I thought they had the appearance and consistency possibly of flies. My imagination got the better of me again this morning as I had not chopped my prunes but had left them whole in the oatmeal, perhaps the size of a roach. The oatmeal was pretty tasty overall and I ate it like a champ.

Anthony & Shari's Hearty Oatmeal

So we woke up late, made the bed and rushed into the kitchen. Anthony started pouring water in the coffeemaker while I started setting milk, mugs, and Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee grounds down on the counter beside him. We had already discussed having oatmeal for breakfast and I had mentioned putting an apple in it. I scurried dangerously across the kitchen floor to the island with a little knife, cutting board and small gala apple. Anthony yanked raisins and roasted almonds out of the cabinet and set them on the island beside me. I chopped the apple so quickly I made mention of chopping everything except my fingers. Into the bowl it all went, with rolled oats, 1 Tb of raisins, maybe 15 chopped almonds, 2% milk, a couple dashes of salt, and a little brown sugar. We baked it for 5 minutes in the microwave and then poured some more milk on it before chowing down. Delicious, nutritious breakfast:)
