      Vian I am glad you liked it! Hope you feel better soon! I agree this isn't an every day dish… but once in a while a little sweetness for breakfast never hurt anyone 🙂

      Very tasty! I have a cold this morning and really wanted oatmeal, so I pulled this recipe up from pinterest and gave it a try. Not an every day thing (too much sugar) but hits the spot when nothing but a hot bowl of oatmeal sounds good. I put a handful of fresh raspberries on top for a little tart contrast.
