Oatmeal

This was blatantly copied from a Whole Food recipe, but resized and adjusted a bit for my preferences.

A perfect way to start a day of healthy eating! And who would have thought that a bowl of oatmeal could provide over half of the daily value for those hard-to-find omega-3 fatty acids as well as 109% of the daily value for manganese. Enjoy!
Perfect OatmealPrep and Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • dash salt
  • 1/2 cup thick rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 TBS ground flaxseeds
  • 2 tsp blackstrap molasses or dark brown sugar
  • milk or yogurt
Directions:
  1. Combine the oatmeal, water and salt in a small saucepan and turn the heat to high, stirring, until the water is just absorbed, about 10 minutes. 
  2. Add cinnamon, cranberries, walnuts, and flaxseeds. Stir, cover the pan, and turn off heat. Let set for 5 minutes. Serve with milk and molasses.
  3. Serves 2
