Hey again, my awesome friends!
Today is a great day for a cozy bowl of oats, am I right? Well I just so happen to have a recipe to share and it’s so easy it’s almost embarrassing.
Life being back in the States after 4 years away has been so many things, but busy is definitely one of them. I’ve been working on some new projects, planning for a trip, acquiring the things I need for that trip, getting excited about the holidays, and loving my gym time. It’s strange how even though the little daily routine things that used to seem so mundane now seem fresh and exciting since they’re still new to me.
My mornings are still probably my favorite part of the day and that always includes coffee and then eventually breakfast once I’ve had time to fully wake up. (Haha, I’ve been a bit coffee-addicted lately with a Kuerig around.) Now that the weather is turning cold I’m finding that my love for starting off with something cool and refreshing is turning to cravings for warm and comforting meals and oatmeal is one of the best! I also start drinking more tea in the Fall and Winter.
It’s strange with my love for berries that I don’t really like fruity or floral teas much. My go-to teas are always something with spice, yes, like chai! Did you know you can add tea to oatmeal too? I discovered this little hack a few years ago when I had a forgotten and cooled-off mug of chai and then remembered seeing someone use it as the liquid in a bowl of oats. Obviously there’s no going wrong with this combo for breaking your fast!
I sometimes like to have this in the evening too, either as dinner (hey, no food discrimination here, oatmeal can be dinner too!) or as a nightcap. It’s so easy and you can top it with so many things. I like to get crazy with my toppings actually and I’m gonna be honest with you, the “real-life” oats behind the scenes never look like this, haha.
I hope you’re enjoying some delicious comfort foods this season and just maybe you’d like to add this to your menu to try.
XOXO

Haha yeah Steemit was glitching out really badly when I was trying to post my reply. But THANK YOU!
Give busy.org a try. I must admit, I didn't like it that much at first, but because of the problems in steemit, I've been forced to use it. It has been very stable

I've never used eggs on oatmeal, photos are amazing though. Maybe I'll try it one day (: Coincidentally I brought oatmeal as a snack to university today xD
That's awesome, we both had oatmeal on the brain. That's a good thing. Thanks so much for commenting @alemars16
Eggs on oatmeal is pretty good! My dad prepares oatmeal that way and I've never been disappointed.
That's great to hear @jdmas
freshness all around, ladies and gentlemen !
Thanks for taking the time to comment @umerjaved, I appreciate it!
would appreciate if you can also follow me too @gringalicious
It looks really incredible, I must try someday, the photos are also very good, which camera did you use?
I use the Nikon D5300, I usually state that in my posts because I used to get that question a lot. Thanks for taking the time to comment on my post
I started eating oatmeal again today) You are amazingly perceptive :) Unfortunately, I have nowhere to buy such berries at this time of year. But I'm sure it's a very delicious recipe. I'll keep it until summer)
That is one thing about living in the states that we take for granted. We have access to almost all foods all year round. 90% + here don't realize how good they have it.
I think it's possible to find elite products in our country if you have enough money)
yum!
Thanks @susanli3769
Great way to start the day. Yum!
I am thrilled you think so @tesscooks4u. Have a great weekend!

I love oatmeal. One of the foods I grew up on. It never gets tiresome to eat a good bowl. Never thought of adding tea though. Sounds good! What foods did you grow up on @gringalicious? What about the rest of you?
Oatmeal was a big one for me too. There were cereals, like shredded wheat for example. Oh, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, yes, for breakfast. We had all kinds of variety, but probably the most common was oatmeal. Thanks for the great commenting @r0nind
Oooh love the use of pomegranate, it's such a versatile fruit but I never considered using it in a breakfast meal - great idea!
Also, I love the fact that it's a breakfast item that looks like a dessert haha, I think that novelty alone would make eating it more fun. Thanks for sharing and beautiful food styling as usual.
" I think that novelty alone would make eating it more fun. " I think you're absolutely correct here @phamished. Food should be fun
All looks extremely delicious
I voted for you and you will vote for me pls
All looks extremely delicious - not sure as a nightcap though lol
Oh myyyyyyy that looks so yummy!! I never thought of mixing tea with oats but its a perfect idea!
Im going to try this one tomorrow for sure, thanks for posting more yummy food!!
Art, Photography, Truth, Beauty, Emotion ... I found all this in your post,
Best wishes
