Cheesy Tomato Oats
I always had in the back of my mind that I would never blog a steaming hot bowl of oats. First off, they are a pretty ugly food. Secondly, they’re oats, I mean come on, no matter what you add to them, they are just a glorified version of instant oatmeal, right? That’s what I thought too until I expanded my horizons and changed breakfast forever.
Enter cheesy tomato oatmeal. It would be perfect if I could just figure out how to get protein powder into the mix. I know: You just posted a picture of lumpy reddish glop. It is ok though, I promise, I included the requisite Healthy Living Blogger miniature oatmeal spoon, which, in this part of the world, comes standard with your furnished apartment. To further justify my actions, I have also included cheesy toast because it is just wrong to ingest tomato sauce without cheesy bread.
This may have ended my love affair with the overnight oats that I have been eating daily for years. That’s truly something!
Please at least give them a try before hitting ‘Unsubscribe’!
