Home is where the hearty food is

So, this morning my senses were tingling for a little dessert.  Yes, this morning.  I didn't want pancakes or cereal or granola, I wanted sweets!  So, I made this Almond Joy Oatmeal.  Score one for Pinterest. It was delightful.  It counts as a breakfast food but hit the spot on the sweet spectrum as well.  And I'm not talking Lucky Charms sweet, I'm talking healthy, satisfying sweet that you can feel good about.  Here's why.  It uses almond milk rather than normal milk.  Here's the plus side, it has only 35 calories per cup vs. 1% milk at 90 calories per 1/2 cup.  Win!  So, mix yourself up something delicious.

Almond Joy Oatmeal

Prepare oatmeal as directed, substituting almond milk where recipe calls for milk or water.  While still warm add 1/8 cup coconut and 3 TBSP chocolate chips.  Allow chips to get a little melty before eating.  Delish!  Enjoy!
