Summer Oatmeal with Fruit
I enjoy a nice bowl of warm oatmeal in the winter months. But in the summertime heat I prefer something cold for breakfast. When I attended Culinary School one of my chefs was originally from Switzerland and he introduced us to muesli. Basically, it's cold oatmeal with fruit and nuts. I'm sharing my recipe for Summer Oatmeal with Fruit this week. I like to use fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries and dried pineapple in this dish. I top it with peanuts and my husband tops it with walnuts, it's up to your individual taste. Happy No-Cooking!
