A Simple Winter Oatmeal Recipe






Ingredients:

- 1 cup of almond milk (or any of your choice). You can use 1/2 cup if you prefer thicker oats.
- 1/2 cup of quick oats
- A small amount of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of wild blueberries (I used the Mariani Premium Wild Blueberries brand).
- 1 tablespoon of granola (I used Clif brand granola mix with white chocolate Macadamia nut).
- 1 tablespoon of dried cereal mix (I used Kashi Cinnamon Crisp).

You can use any brand of your choice.

Both the granola and dried cereal mix add a nice crunch to the oatmeal, while the blueberries provide a simple sweetness.




Optional:
- Honey
- Brown sugar sprinkled
- Agave syrup

You can use any sweetener of your choice to add sweetness to your oatmeal.

Instructions to prepare your oatmeal:

1. Take a microwave-safe bowl and put your oats in it.
2. Add milk and heat the oats in the microwave for 2 minutes.
3. After 2 minutes, take the bowl out and stir the oats.
4. Let the oats cool for a few minutes.
5. Add all your dry ingredients to your oats.
6. You can also add a drop of vanilla extract, sprinkled sugar, honey, or any sweetener of your choice to your oats.

Enjoy your delicious oatmeal!

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree.
