It’s breakfast time again here at Presley’s Pantry. I promise to stop with the breakfast posts for a little while after this one. I use to dislike Oatmeal with a fierce passion. I’ll just say it out loud… I LOVE OATMEAL now (click over to Babble for the whole story on my sudden love with oatmeal). For my nearest and dearest who are snickering at that remark calling me a hypocrite through a whisper in their teeth, I have declared a change of heart. Now when I open my eyes in the a.m. I can’t wait to get my hands on a bowl. I’m still playing around with different combos of steel cut love, but here is one I have been quite pleased with lately. Enjoy it!
