What makes a great oatmeal breakfast?

If it's not a little spicy, it's nothing but plain.

     This is one of the delicious ways that I found to turn boring plain oatmeal into a can't get enough dish. 

Make your plain oatmeal as you normally would. You can add a Tbsp of Coconut oil to make it a little smoother. (Note: coconut oil is good for brain function and helping with other health issues,)  Add slices of avocado for some healthy fat and to spice  things up add a couple tablespoons of corn salsa.  You can also add a few black olives if you like. Don't add milk  there is usually enough liquid with the coconut oil and salsa. This dish makes a great meal anytime of the day and only takes a couple minutes to make. So the next time someone complains about plain old oatmeal.

Spice it up!

Bacon and Eggs Oatmeal Breakfast

Egg Oatmeal Breakfast

This is a no sugar oatmeal breakfast and I have been told that it is a good breakfast for diabetics. The added proteins from the egg gives it a little extra pick me up and is good for brain function.

(1) Start with a half a cup or more of quick oats. Add boiling water and let set for a few seconds. Add a tablespoon of butter for a more flavorful and creamy texture (coconut oil may be substituted). Stir until melted. Then add one egg and stir in thoroughly.

(2) Add an 1/8 cup of chopped nuts or sunflower seeds, raw or roasted .

(3) Add some alfalfa sprouts or finely chopped carrots and onions, about 1/4 cup.

 (4) Add garlic powder, pepper or season to taste. I sometimes add bacon bits to give it a eggs and bacon flavor. The nuts and vegetables can be left out if they are not to your liking.

As we say in Nevada, dig in and enjoy
