Stovetop Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

For breakfast this morning I had a couple of Braeburn apples to use up and changed our oatmeal recipe. I have dialed back the sweetness in many dishes lately by using plain unsweetened almond milk versus the vanilla or regular. At 35 calories a cup it is also HALF the calories of regular (wow). As noted…the family has been receptive to Silk Almond after having had Silk Soy for so many years (Ford has had soy since he was an infant and has no taste for dairy). Frankly I was never a fan of cooking with unsweetened soymilk, to me it tasted off but almond I don’t notice. It is thick and rich tasting! And no weird aftertaste! Yay! So for now I am happy with the switch and am weaning Ford off the higher calorie/sugar vanilla to regular. Maybe eventually I will get them all to drink unsweetened (hah). No photo of breakfast though – I was in a rush this morning and had to get us all fed and out of the house!

  1. Excellent post thanks for sharing. Food is something I can enjoy all around. If I’m not eating it. I’m reading and looking at pictures about it.
