my favorite not-just-for-breakfast meal

Options
steel cut oatmeal (I use the quick cook kind from trader joes) prepared as directed
2 tbs of natural peanutbutter
1/4 to 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. (or any frozen fruit)


Mix all together while hot and enjoy. It tastes like a peanutbutter and jelly sammich!

It's also super filling and lasts all through to lunch with no problems. about 370 calories.

what's your favorite go-to meal?

    I was serious, my mom actually made these as a child. I miss them, but remembering I need to work out for a week to shed THOSE calories makes them less tasty :)

    I don't know how healthy they are, but have you tried those 100 calories oatmeal packages from Quaker? They come in different flavors and they taste much better than anything I would make...and just in the microwave :)
