Story

This fancy oatmeal is perfect for a lazy morning, when nobody has to rush out of the house. It's also a great treat for an evening meal particularly if your large meal was at noon that day. Maybe you ate your big meal at noon-time because of a holiday or even a pool-side cookout. Wouldn't a nice, hot bowl of oatmeal laced with sweet spices and fruit taste good before bedtime?
