All In

I can't remember what I had in mind when I came out with this oatmeal. I think I was just trying to use everything up so that I could stock up for the coming week. Its a Friday and I guess things in the fridge are mostly left with a bit of this and a bit of that. Given this scenario, I would feel that its a good time to use it all up so that I can free up space and not cramp up the fridge.

RECIPE: Serves 1

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water or low-fat milk or soy milk
• 1/3 cup chopped peanuts (not salted)
• 3/4 cup chopped strawberries
• a few leaves of butter-head lettuce
• honey (use it discretely to ensure that the oatmeal is just sweeten, and not as if you have a sweet tooth) - > I would encourage 1/4 teaspoon
  

Bring the water to a boil and add the oats in. Let it cook till its kind of 'gluey' (at this point, I like to add ground cinnamon) and pour into a serving bowl. Top the oatmeal with strawberries, peanuts and lettuce. Now you have a warm bowl of healthy breakfast!
