Cherry Oatmeal


Cherries, rinsed, pitted, and thinly sliced
1 to 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar, firmly packed, or agave syrup
1 3/4 cup almond milk or any other type
1 3/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups quick-cooking oats (or old-fashioned are fine too)
1 Tbsp sour cream (optional)

1. In a small bowl, toss cherries with sugar. Let sit at least 5 minutes to bring out the juices.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm water, milk, and salt. Stir in 2 cups oats; cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy, 5 to 6 minutes.
3. Ladle oatmeal into bowls. Top each serving with 1 Tbsp sour cream and some of the cherries.

Try #1 - June 21, 2012
The kids were so excited to try cherry oatmeal, and between the 3 of us, we ate the whole thing!  Note that this is almost twice as much oatmeal as I usually make. I'd call this recipe a success!
