New Discoveries

I am believe experience is the best teacher, it continues to prove true. So there has been no sugar, dairy, presevatives or meat in my diet for a few weeks and yes I survived. I never thought it was possible to eat oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats) without some type of sweetner and so this lead to these discoveries for me.
1/2 a cup of oatmeal
1 cup hot water
2 /3 tablespoons of raisins
1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
let stand for 10 minutes
yummy

1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons raisins
1 tablespoon peanut butter
let stand for 10 minutes
even more yummy

Peanut butter is a really great item to have on hand. I made some chapatis (indian flat bread) and one morning for breakfast I spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on one of these flatbreads with 1 tablespoon of raisins warmed it up a little and WOW it was so good. There was something warm and comforting about the combination for me. So give these a go if you have not already you just might like them!
