Savory Oatmeal Bowl

From the kitchen of Lynn Salmon-Easter, Reiki Master

When I think of oatmeal it is usually paired with nuts, dried fruit and possibly a pat of butter. I am a fan of nutrient dense meals, so vegetables are a standard at my morning meal. My spouse blew my mind when they discovered and began creating beautiful savory oatmeal bowls for breakfast each morning. There is so much versatility to these bowls that you can eat them every day and not tire.
