Now that I'm jogging in the mornings, though, I need to have a bit more fuel in my stomach.
Ah, and did I also mention that I like to eat the same thing every morning? I don't relish standing bleary-eyed in the kitchen and having to re-figure out what it's going to be. I need to decide just once what breakfast looks like for the next, oh, thirteen months. At least.
So enter my latest breakfast trend:
Oatmeal. Oh yes, oatmeal.
But this is not your uncle's oatmeal, folks, this is oatmeal all-dressed-up. A splash of milk. A dousing of brown sugar. Sprinkled liberally with slivers of dried cherries and almonds, and voila!
Not the prettiest meal, I admit, but my taste buds are doing the mambo.

Mmm...I'm a trend person too. Pick something a stick with it for ages on end. Right now I'm on a cereal kick - All Bran Guardian.
I might have to try your oatmeal concoction out. I don't care for oatmeal much, but with that kind of dressing up? Yumm! And oatmeal is actually the best metabolism booster there is, according to a Harvard Medical study. =)
Yuuummmm, that is right up my food-alley! I love cereals and oatmeals. The more berries, nuts, and grains, the better I like it.

I must say that this depresses me a little...I don't think it's right that you're apart of our family & NOT a breakfast person!! I mean, I absolutely LOVE coming to your house for the mere fact that you always have about 10 different kinds of cereal to choose from! Well that & seeing the adorable kids of course. Oh yeah & seeing you & that other guy :)
H-m-m, I wonder if the love for oatmeal comes with getting older? I mean you did turn "ahem" a certain age this past year. Not that you are old when you turn "that" age. I was just wondering, 'cause I LOVE oatmeal, and KNOW I am old!! BUT, it can NOT be instant, or even the one minute kind. I like the Old Fashioned oats, and even better the Steel Ground oats. m-m-m
Kim--All Bran Guardian, eh? I'll have to check that one out. :) (Don't tell the breakfast police that I'm trying *another* new thing this week.)
Amelia--me too w/the nuts and fruits...I think we're part squirrel. heheh
Kin--so sorry, but I've probably been the oddball all along.
HFM--you can say thirty! I tell everyone my age now that I'm finally thirty. Kristin and I just discussed oatmeal--I actually don't like it very much (bland and mushy were the words I used), but the trick here is to add tasty stuff in so I don't actually taste the oatmeal! Good strategy, huh. The steel ground oats sound like they have potential, though.
Yummy...I too love oatmeal so much!! And I throw all kinds of things on top too.....sometimes when I'm being a good girl and working out I'll mix up some vanilla protein powder in there and eat it as "proatmeal!" Food for my muscles...of course that's not right now as I am being lazy this week...I like breakfast to be easy too...I can't think that early!!

Hey twinsy! I'm usually not hungry until 11:00. But if I *do* eat breakfast, it's ALWAYS oatmeal. Hee. I'm going to have to try your version. It sounds yummy.
