As a diabetic I try to watch what I eat, not as often as I should but when I can. Each morning I usually eat a hot bowl of oatmeal to get me going as it’s healthy and the trick is to make it taste good without compromising the healthy benefits of it. No chocolate syrup for my oatmeal in other words. The way I usually fix my oatmeal is simple, I start with an envelope of Quaker Instant Oatmeal, sprinkle cinnamon on top, pour in a modest amount of Mrs. Butterworth’s Sugar-Free maple syrup and then add a dash of water. Microwave that for a minute and instant healthy, hot breakfast. The syrup gives it a nice maple, buttery flavor which coupled with the cinnamon makes it taste pretty decent. This has served me well for years and it’s a good way to start the day. Today I was making the oatmeal as I’ve done thousands of times before and decided to try something a little bit different. The trick is to not add anything terribly unhealthy so after I pulled my hot, steamy bowl of oatmeal out of the microwave I added a teaspoon of creamy peanut butter. Oh my God, the peanut butter turned my normal breakfast into a gourmet’s delight! The peanut butter in such a small quantity didn’t adversely affect the health benefits and the additional flavor in the oatmeal was wonderful. This has nothing to do with mobile tech but it’s a big deal to me so I’m sharing it anyway. Anybody got any other good ideas to make my oatmeal special?
