Loyal readers of the oat blog of record know I don’t shy away from a dollop of yogurt atop my morning oatmeal. I’ve tried the blogger-fueled obsession with yoats, or yogurt covered oats. They didn’t do it for me. 

Tossing my fruit in yogurt, though, is primary genius, oatizens. I coated tiny pieces of kiwi, strawberries, bananas, blueberries with the tangy nectar of the cow gods, and bliss ensued. 

His…

and hers.

All mine! 

“Is there any oatmeal?”

I tried to act impervious to this prodigioius request, uttered, ever so casually, from Michael. Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake about it: that question was nothing less than a triumph. You see, all along, this person to whom I am legally bound has, while encouraging this blog, displayed a strong aversion to oatmeal. “If there’s nothing else, I guess I’ll eat it” was the standard response. I always knew, though, that he would one day move past this contrarian act, and oat almighty, that day has come. No longer will my serving sizes read one. Our union, in earnest, has really just begun!

As excited as I was, I also knew it was wise to tread lightly. I opted for simplicity, with fresh strawberries and yogurt. The oatmeal - and I do believe this is a key component - is subtly flavored with cinnamon and brown sugar. May you have as good fortune with the oat resisters in your life. Next stop, yoga…
