My Wife's Oatmeal

It's easy to find your top ten reasons for eating oatmeal. It may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. It can help you control your weight. It might reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and it's a good source of proteins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidents. Soy beans are supposed to be good for you too. Today at the grocery store I happened to catch a glimpse of a lady's shopping cart. There were nine, yes 9 tubs of tofu (organic tofu no less). That's a little too much tofu for me. She didn't seem too excited about it either. My wife uses this old fashioned oatmeal. Mix in some dried cranberries in the final two minutes. Serve with a scoop of yogurt in the center. Sprinkle with some toasted pecans and dust with a brown suger/cinnamon mixture (make a batch with 1/4 cup brown sugar, about 3/4 tsp of cinnamon, 1 packet of "Sugar in the Raw") and add berries liberally. Dynamite. If I see that lady from the grocery check out again I'll tell her about my wife's oatmeal.
