“Oatmeal is one of the staples in my cupboard. I love it for breakfast, especially when it is cold out. Usually I add a couple of tablespoons of finely ground flaxseed meal and a bit of butter when I want to add richness. This winter, though, I did something I never do, and I ordered a bowl of oatmeal in a restaurant. It was served with hot buttered currants, bananas, and walnuts. Who knew it could taste so good? Now, when I want an extra special weekend treat and something that will carry me through to late afternoon, I make my oatmeal with golden raisins and bananas heated in a bit of butter, pecans, and a splash of cream.”
