I am a convert!!!

Disclaimer:  This following passage has nothing to do with the picture above!!  Now I can talk!!!!! 

I loooooove having girfriends over for a fun afternoon with lots of laughs, talks over a wide range of topics and more, over some yummy food from my hearth and heart!!  On one such afternoons, I became a convert.... from unhealthy breakfasts to this yummy, creamy, fulfilling, and less than 200 calories bowlful of goodness -- Oatmeal!!! 

Now... now... I hear all sorts of exasperated muffles.... but seriously, I have never been so full, with less sugar spikes, and with more energy to get through  my busy day!  I have my friend G to thank for and I have religiously followed her advice! 
Here's how:
4 Simple Ingredients:

1/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal

A blend of 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup water

1 tsp. vanilla essence (my touch)

4 whole walnuts and 1 tbsp. craisins

Method:
Bring the oatmeal, vanilla, milk and water to a rolling boil, in a pan over medium heat, while stirring continuously.  It took about 5 minutes for it to come together as a creamy pudding.  Serve garnished with nuts and craisins.  If you wish you could sweeten this with your choice of sweetener, but I think the vanilla adds a luxurious touch to it, and makes it sweet without any additional sweetener!!  It's been my one week anniversary and I already see a lot of benefits from one heart healthy bowl!!  Now... it is up to you to become a convert.......
