Oatmeal: It’s What’s For Breakfast
If it’s true that you are what you eat, then I am oatmeal.
Until recently, I was making it the old-fashioned way. You know, cooking it, on the stove.
But then one day a friend told me about Trader Joe’s Steelcut Oatmeal, and since then I have been in oatmeal heaven.
It’s frozen in discs about the size of a hockey puck (two to a box).
After just a few minutes in the microwave, the end result is a bowl of steelcut oatmeal, lightly sweetened with brown sugar and maple syrup (just a hint, mind you).
I usually slice a banana over the top, and ta da, breakfast is served!
It’s less than $2 for 2 servings, and each serving contains 2.5g fat (no saturdated or trans!) and 150 calories (calories from fat 20).
It’s oatmeal perfection.
