Growing up I hated oatmeal. I know hate is a strong word, but it shows how much I really disliked oatmeal. It was bland and tasteless and just not good.
Fast forward many a years and my parents introduced my girls to oatmeal and of course they loved it. So I decided to give oatmeal a try again, but this time instead of having it plain my parents were adding dried cranberries to it. Well, to my surprise with something in the oatmeal it was not too bad, in fact the more I ate it the more I liked it.
So now I am always looking for new ways to jazz up my oatmeal. This recipe was very good and very filling, but not too sweet. It was a perfect delicious way to start my day.
