    Comfort Food: Oatmeal

    Few things say comfort food better than oatmeal. It warms you up and provides energy to sustain you through mid-day. I like to pack it full of crushed/chopped walnuts and fresh blueberries. Walnuts for a good supply of protein and about 10% of your daily required iron. Blueberries are high in vitamin K, manganese and vitamin C. Blueberries also provide anti-inflammatory benefits. For added richness, I add a pat of butter, some brown sugar and cinnamon. Finish it off with a splash of milk on top. If I feel a chocolate craving coming on, I add some cacao nibs. Yum… For me, traditional oatmeal is better tasting than the instant…
