Breakfast Warm and Comforting

A lovely thing, oatmeal, credited by the Scottish with helping them survive the cold, hard winters of the Highlands. Hard to say if that is true, but a steady diet of oatmeal in any of its various guises has been shown to help with lowering cholesterol and providing easily digestible complex carbohydrates. Mostly, it’s just a good, warm breakfast, and whole grain rolled oats, combined with the flavors of cinnamon, honey and vanilla, are a comforting way to start the day.
