High Octane Oatmeal Revs Up Your Whole Day

High Octane Oatmeal Revs Up Your Whole Day

My husband and I agree on most things.  We love the off grid-lifestyle, the hard work and the rewards.  One thing we haven’t ever agreed on is breakfast.  I like eggs; he likes bagels.  He likes cold cereal, even in winter.  I don’t.  Most of the time, we go our separate ways for breakfast.  Except when it comes to oatmeal.

For us, oatmeal is a winter food.   As soon as the cold weather hits, I’ve got my food grinder out with the cereal flaker attached, making fresh oatmeal for him to cook.   My husband is the keeper of the oatmeal.  He cooks it better than I do and it’s a real treat to have him make my breakfast once in awhile.

 

Oatmeal is naturally good for you, but it can be easily boosted into the high energy breakfast that we need for a busy day.  With the addition of other seeds and grains, oatmeal becomes a full meal.
