a favorite food

One of my favorite foods is oatmeal.  I usually gussy it up with fruit and nut butters, but every once in awhile I like to keep it simple.

Cinnamon and brown sugar, such classic oatmeal toppings, are often neglected from my daily oats.  A recent breakfast refreshed my memory of why they should reenter the rotation.

Just make sure the cap to the cinnamon jar is securely fastened, as a little bit goes a long way.  However,I think there can never be too much brown sugar…

Old-Fashioned Oatmeal

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

Boil milk and water on stove.  Add oats, stirring occasionally until thickened. Upon serving, mix in toppings.
