It's Oatmeal Season!

Looking for a nice, warm, filling breakfast for these cold mornings? I have become an oatmeal lover this past year. It's fast, it fills me up to my comfort zone, it sticks with me for a long time, and there are so many ways you can "snazz" it up so it doesn't get boring, and hooray it's CORE! Here are just a couple ways of "snazzing it" that you are going to just love.

As always be sure to run it through a calculator and double check all points values.

Oatmeal Jumble


Thanks to Mary from my Wednesday At Work Meeting for sharing this gem - it's delicious!
  • 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
  • 1/2 large banana(s), cut up in pieces
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free fat-free vanilla yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp fat-free skim milk
  • 1 Tbsp chopped pecans (Mary uses slivered almonds, I had pecans handy)

Stir together and cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes.
Servings: 1 Points: 6 or CORE plus 1 Point



Oatmeal "Snazzers" to stir in...
Unsweetened Applesauce
Cinnamon
Vanilla flavoring
Raspberries
Strawberries
Mangos
Bananas


Oatmeal Pancakes
WW prepackaged Oatmeal (either Strawberries and Cream or Maple Brown Sugar)
1 egg
little skim milk - just enough to make it "batter" consistency

Mix everything together and cook in fry pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
