{foodie} friday: island oatmeal

3.01.2013


 this may be totally old news to everyone else, but while i was in hawaii last week, my cousin made us oatmeal, she cooked it with milk instead of water and then offered us coconut to add in along with a bit of brown sugar. i felt like i was eating something completely new and delicious and as soon as i got home i got the supplies to make it myself. it was just as good the second time! i've even started eating it for dessert by adding a little sliver of bluebell vanilla ice cream :)
give it a try and let me know what you think.

what do you put in your oats?

My husband likes brown sugar and peanut butter. I think he's crazy, but hey, who am I to judge a creative genius?

I have always been cooking oatmeal with milk. It's the best! And i love to experiment with it, my favorite combo so far are fresh strawberries and chocolate chips. So good! I also love to cook it with fresh blueberries; That way, you get exploding blueberry juice... YUM!

I always put a tiny bit of sugar and maybe some chopped nuts and raisins! I bet it would be really good with ice cream though!

This looks amazing - I will definitely be trying it for our Sunday breakfast next week. For me I am strictly a brown sugar and bananas type of girl.

I don't like coconut, so I don't think I'd like that type of oatmeal, but I love mixing a general amount of homemade apple sauce into my oatmeal!
