Breakfast:Silver Palate Thick and Rough Oatmeal

When it becomes cold and snowy outside it is time to have Cream of Wheat or Oatmeal for breakfast as opposed to Cheerios. I enjoy a hot bowl of oatmeal, too. Actually I grew up on Quaker Oats, but I if Silver Palate Oatmeal is on Sale! I'll add that to my grocery basket because I find that just as tasty. 

Here is my bowl of oatmeal with strawberries and honey. I sometimes put sugar, milk or blueberries on my oatmeal, depending on what is in season.

I make my oatmeal on the stove. The directions are very simple for the Silver Palate Oatmeal.  Put 3/4 cup milk (I use soy or almond milk, or you can use water) in a small saucepan with a little salt and bring to a boil. Add 1/3 cup Silver Palate Thick and Rough Oatmeal and stir and turn the temperature down to low. Let sit on the stove for 8 to 10 minutes watching and stirring every once in a while. Take off the stove and put the cover on and let stir for 2 minutes then serve in a bowl as desired. 

I am an oatmeal fan whether it is in a cookie or mush in a bowl. It is hearty breakfast.

Childhood: Cheerios in the Pantry

My Mother was not that big on sugary cereal. I remember many boxes of Cheerios in my mother's pantry. It was always in the pantry (although that may have been because it was on sale quite frequently).

When Cheerios came out with their honey nut, that was definitely a nice flavor. I was pretty happy when they came out with their whole grain also. Here is my breakfast this morning.
Cheerios is dependable in so many ways
1, Cheerios never get soggy
2. You can eat them as a snack
3. They are not to sugary
4. They have a nice savory flavor
Multi Grain Cheerios was a nice addition to the Cheerios flavors offered. When you want a simple cereal to serve with berries - this cereal makes the grade.
Honey Nut Cheerios is still an old favorite! I love the honey and the nut flavor.

All the cereals I mention have the same taste I grew up with, but also have enough of flavor they are advertising to keep me happy.
