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!

Oatmeal and Dark Chocolate Syrup

Dark Chocolate Syrup Oatmeal

Like I said many a time before keep it simple, and make it taste great.

In this oatmeal I simply added dark chocolate syrup over the top of my oatmeal. I chose dark chocolate for it's low sugar and health benefits. For those of you who have a sweat tooth use regular chocolate syrup. Cook your oatmeal as usual and simply top with syrup.

Now this is not one of my favorites, as I am not a chocolate fanatic, but as a kid I do remember looking for anything to make my oatmeal taste better. I also remember trying to come up with a good excuse as to why the chocolate syrup mysteriously disappeared and why I had chocolate all over my face. As an adult I don't have to make excuses, I just have to decide is it healthy, and does it taste great.

    I hope my readers understand that my main goal is to make healthy food like oatmeal taste great.

I look forword to hearing your constructive comments and ideas.

Make it simple, make it taste great.
