Power Breakfast
Written by biscuit on July 20, 2008 – 10:54 am -I finally got my tiny crockpot over here Friday, which means I can finally begin enjoying my favorite breakfast again: steelcut oatmeal with cinnamon, dried blueberries and nuts, with two eggs (from chickens I’m personally acquainted with) scrambled in olive oil on the side.
I begin the oatmeal the night before. Right before I go to sleep, I put three times more water than oatmeal in the crockpot, set it on low, add the cinnamon and the smallest dash of salt, then cover the pot. Next morning, I put the blueberries in to cook while I make coffee and scramble the eggs. Then, I add the nuts when I spoon the oatmeal into a bowl. If I have butter, I add it, and if I’m feeling the need for some extra health benefits, I add flaxseed oil.
The crockpot has been the perfect solution to my zomg, I just can’t get it together to eat at 5 a.m.! problem.
This is my power breakfast. When I eat this, I am fearsome!

Darlin’, you are fearsome even you don’t have breakfast!
Wow, sounds like a great breakfast, yummy. I have a retired husband that make me breakfast!
No, really, we alternate. Sometimes I get a wild hare and make breakfast squares or slow rise bread or breakfast muffins with the strawberry freezer jam. I also like “Uncle Sam” brand whole-wheat flakes & flaxseed tossed into goats milk yogurt, both from Trader Joe’s. If you can track it down, “Uncle Sam” is great.
