Ah oatmeal. It was one of my favorite cold weather breakfasts. My sons only care for the instant type. My daughter would rather be drawn and quartered than be made to eat it any form for breakfast. My husband likes it plain with lots of butter and brown sugar. I alone liked to experiment with new forms like blueberry cheesecake, black forest and pumpkin pie. But I am no longer eating oatmeal because of my Hashimoto’s.
Sigh.
Sigh again.
Luckily, I made this pumpkin pie oatmeal a long time ago. I forgot to post it and then I remembered that October’s Improv Challenge was oatmeal and raisins! How fortuitous!! So with many longing glances, fond memories and maybe a little drool, I give you my entry. I used to eat it a lot last winter.
