Happy New Year! It’s so hard to believe a full year has gone by and the holiday season is now behind us. I’m sad the holiday break is over but I’m ready to tackle 2016!
If you know me well, you know I have a particular breakfast regimen – two eggs and turkey sausage every day. I never bore of it, but Y is always down for a little more variety. When Quaker asked me to bring my best bowl of oatmeal – I decided it was a perfect opportunity to change up my breakfast game so I stepped up to the challenge. With citrus season in full swing I decided to top my bowl of oatmeal with some poached kumquats, whipped coconut cream, almonds and shredded coconut. I love the flavor combination of everything together, and the toasted almonds and coconut make for the perfect crunch in every bite. Y’s also loving the addition of oatmeal to the breakfast rotation.
