Oatmeal...with blueberries.

Better than Fruit Loops.

2. Oatmeal with dried blueberries is awesome too

I like all sorts of dried fruits with oatmeal, but blueberries are my favorite.

3. try hot grape nuts with just picked strawberries

now that's heaven

7. Now you've done it

Next time you make home-made icecream..
...throw a handful of grape-nuts in there just before you're finished stirring.
It's really quite good.

10. We used to put grape nuts in our chocolate chip cookies if we were out of nuts.

4. We dehydrate sliced strawberries when they are in season. Perfect for oatmeal.

The hot water softens them well enough that they are perfect. No sugar, spices, or anything - just oatmeal and strawberries.

9. Sounds yummy...

I saw a 4 ounce bag of dried strawberries at Fresh Market and it
was $13.00! The first time I had seen any at all...neat you dehydrate
them.I have only had the fresh ones...

dried apricots from my local Coop to go with my oatmeal. Sweet!

11. Or blackberries.

13. Blackberries rock

Especially if you can get them fresh off the vine. The season was painfully early here in the south, though, so the wild ones that I like to pick were done by early APRIL! Can you believe it?

12. Grits

With cheese, and tabasco. Far better *grin*

[Neoma]

14. What kind of cheese?

[Aerows]

15. Sharp cheddar

preferably Vermont white hunter My favorite.

It can be a side dish as well, accompanying chicken and steamed vegetables.
