Gingerbread Oatmeal

Almost as good as cookies but you can eat it for breakfast. Everyone knows you're supposed to put cinnamon and brown-sugar on oatmeal but switch it up and use molasses and powdered ginger and voila, gingerbread oatmeal! I also added trail-mix, bananas and plain yogurt because all those things are wonderful.

The perfect way to start your blog - With a well balanced breakfast

Here's a preview of what our readers will be seeing frequently, the wacky, wild, fabulous, fruity, crazy, creamy, nutty... and nutty (haha, pun) world of oatmeal.

Us gals are what some might call Oataholics. Oats have to be the most versatile, delicious, comforting, and filling way to start the day. Apparently they're pretty great for you as well eh? This morning I was feeling both tropical and creative. The barbeque we hosted this past weekend (left over coconut milk from pina colada's) and the large box of mangoes sitting on my counter may have contributed to my inspiration.

Anywho, here's the mix:

Tropical Oats

• 1/3 cup quick oats

• pinch cinnamon

• pinch cardamom

• 1 tbs coconut milk

• 1 tbs shredded unsweetened coconut

• 1/2 banana

• fresh mango chunks

• water/milk (to desired consistency)

• 1/2 tbs of peanut butter

Thanks for your time blogosphere :-) I hope to see you around,
