After Vivian eats (she gets dibs on eating first, of course!), she hangs out in her bouncer and we chat in the kitchen while I get my coffee going, cook my oatmeal in the microwave, empty the dishwasher (I try and beat my 2 minute oatmeal) and then top my oatmeal. A look into my breakfast brain...how many ways can a girl come up with to top some quick oats?
Weekend Oatmeal--I don't have the patience to make steel cut oats, but will gladly eat them if husband makes 'em:
And then I move Viv to her playmat in the living room and while we play I sip on my coffee, savor my oatmeal and am so thankful for this beautiful life.
What's your morning ritual?

We share a love of the oats and I am salivating, especially at the pan fried - I need to know more about this so I can cook some up! Yummy! BTW, roasted my heart out yesterday and it was delicious - yams, sweet potatoes, zuchini, red onion, broccoli & cauliflower.
Your morning ritual sounds so peaceful! When I work I try to get out the door as fast as possible without getting slobber on me...on my days off Olivia is up sooo early she climbs into bed with me & soon whispers "can I watch something?" We cuddle for awhile and then she asks "can I have breakfast?" and YES-she has breakfast in my bed!! hee hee!! I never really thought about our ritual-thanks for the blog!
I too waht to know about the pan fried version, looks so tasty! I am roasting some brussel sprouts this week after you saying how delicious they turn out!
steel oats are my favorite! i loved this post - i too am curious about the pan fried version!
Pan Fried Oats (inspired by a food blog I read, but I can't remember which one):
Cook up your oatmeal (I make quick oats in the microwave) and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. This way it'll stay in one piece when you plop it out into a heated pan with a little melted butter. Turn when golden to "fry" other side. I like it served with a little maple syrup and berries, like a pancake.
The SJ Mercury News had a big section on oatmeal today. I think you many varieties look better than any they featured. Yum!
