While growing up, my dearest Mother would make sure that none of us left the house without eating breakfast. Most of the time that breakfast would be a big bowl of cooked oats. Still today she loves the warm sticky cooked oats.
Once I became a mother myself, I realized that oats are really a great way to start your day. Not only filling but nutritional as well. That said, there is no time to cook oats for everyone in the mornings. Besides that, I’m not a big fan of the sticky stuff anymore. I have seen so many different ways that oats can be prepared. However, nothing beats soaked oats with loads of goodies hiding inside. Probably my favorite meal of the day.
