Banana Split Oatmeal
Yep. I’m insane. Or genius. Not sure which.
This porridge contains ALL the flavors of the classic banana split. However, unlike the typical massive dessert found in diners, THIS banana split is healthy AND vegan! Don’t act like you’re not impressed. 😉
Nutty ‘Nana Berry Oatmeal
I’ve been selfish with this one. Really selfish.
I’ve been making this for months. Really. Months. And it’s not that I was “perfecting the recipe” or anything like that. No, not at all. In reality, I just never had the opportunity to photograph it! I was either too lazy, it was raining, I didn’t have any good dishes to use for a picture, or I was in a hurry. (more…)
Blueberry Cashew Oatmeal
My mother is pretty wonderful. She knew I was coming to spend about two weeks at her and my father’s house, so she stocked up on food that she knew I would like: apples, bell peppers, honeydew, cantaloupe, whole wheat bread, watermelon, almond milk, organic spring mix (!!), and several varieties of nuts.
One of those nuts was cashews. What a treat! They are actually my mother’s favorite nuts, so I’m not surprised she picked them. 😉 I personally prefer almonds and pecans, so it’s not often that I have cashews. I’m not switching my allegiance yet, but I will say it was nice having something different. (more…)
Banana-Berry and White Chocolate Oatmeal
Have you ever looked at the ingredients list for white chocolate?
Like most of my recipes, this particular one was sitting in my mind for a while. I didn’t want to actually buy white chocolate chips, though; it’s not an ingredient I would use a lot, and I knew my mom had a bag. Thus, my plan was to wait until I was visiting my parents to try this out. So that’s what I did. (more…)
Cherry Garcia Oatmeal
This recipe has been on my mind for at LEAST half a year. Why, oh why, must cherries cost so much??
I once tried this with cheap cherry jam. I was at a diner for Sunday breakfast, and they had those little individual packets of jams. I immediately thought of my chocolate-cherry idea, and I snatched one and hid it in my purse. 😉 (more…)
Apple-Cherry Oatmeal
My family is quite accepting of my oatmeal love. In fact, when we were camping the other day, my mom made sure to have some rolled oats and almond milk packed for me. How sweet!
Even more sweet was what she bought for me: fresh cherries. I’ve wanted to use them in oatmeal for the longest time, but they’re so gosh darn expensive! I mentioned to her that I’ve always wanted some, and much to my delight, she actually bought some! (more…)
Loaded PB&J Oatmeal
Perhaps I’ve been so successful as a vegetarian because my favorite sandwich is PB&J. In fact, one of my favorite restaurants/coffee shops in town offers this divine, gourmet PB&J. It uses natural peanut butter, homemade mixed berry jam, sliced bananas, and homemade granola, all between locally made bakery bread…and then it’s grilled. (more…)

Orange Blackberry Oatmeal
Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the possibilities. I have so many ideas to share with the world, and it feels like there simply isn’t enough time to do it all.
This morning in particular was tormenting! I spent nearly ten minutes trying to decide what to make. Ultimately, I decided on this orange-blackberry combo–and I’m glad I did! It was the perfect way to wake up my sleepy Sunday self.

Triple Berry and Banana Oatmeal
It occurred to me last night after I posted my Fuzzy Navel Oatmeal recipe that I never actually told you guys about my summer job. Hmm…
I’m teaching at a college preparatory program for low-income and/or racial minority students. Many of them are ESL (English as a Second Language) students who have come to America from Africa (particularly Ethiopia and Eritrea). (more…)
Strawberry Mojito Oatmeal
Who thought of combining lime with mint?
They deserve an award.
Also, who discovered oatmeal? They deserve a BILLION awards.
