It's been a chilly spring so far... I woke up the other morning and just wanted something warm. As I was going through my memory banks trying to think of something good for breakfast, it hit me - oatmeal! It couldn't be just plain oatmeal though, it had to be exciting or I'd get the eye roll from Taylor for sure! I started to dig through my pantry and fridge...moldy strawberries (bummer), pecans, almonds, dried apricots, craisins, frozen berries. Hmmm...I've got it! So here's my version of oatmeal:
Berry Vanilla Pecan Oatmeal
1-3/4 cup water
1-3/4 cup milk
dash of salt
2 cups quick oats
1 cup Kirkland frozen berry mix
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 tsp vanilla
brown sugar
Boil water, milk and salt. Add berries and bring back to a boil. Add oats and pecans, cook for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Dish into bowls and top with brown sugar. This was enough for 4 good size servings.
