Apple Pecan Oatmeal and Scrambled Eggs

I always make time for breakfast, especially during the work week. It gets my day off to the right start and it doesn't have to be so complicated. Breakfast = Gwoeyn-time




Slow cooked oatmeal (1 cup cooks in about 30-40 mins) is a staple on my breakfast menu - there's SO much you can do with it and it's really not a hassle to whip up. I usually make a batch that lasts about five days. You can pretty much have a different bowl of this stuff every time!

1 cup diced gala apple (or whichever you prefer)
1 tablespoon toasted pecan pieces
1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses (I FREAKIN LOVE this stuff - it tastes like brown sugar/maple syrup - AND it's good for you)
1 tablespoon whole ground flaxseed meal (optional - I use this stuff more for health reasons than flavor, but it is nutty and adds slight texture)
1/2 cup slow cooked oatmeal

Mix in apples and slow cooked oatmeal into a microwaveable bowl. Top with blackstrap molasses and pecans. Heat in microwave. Mix in flaxseed and it's ready to eat.

As for the scrambled eggs - I used organic, free range ones. It might just be me, but they taste SOOO much better than that other crap. I cook them over medium heat with extra light, extra virgin olive oil.

I enjoy my breakfast and brace myself for what may come..
