Maresy Dotes and Dosey Dotes, and Little Lamsie Divey!

A Kiddley Divey too, wouldn't you?  Of course it's really

Mares eat Oats and Does eat Oats, and Little Lambs eat Ivy...A Kid'll Eat Ivy, too....but breakfast is our recipe today, and it's Maresy Dotes And So Do I

Maresy Dotes and So Do I

1/2 c steel cut oats
1 c water
1/4 tsp sea salt or one grind from a salt grinder
2 tbsp ground flax seed
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Put all in a pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for half an hour, or until the water is not sitting on top of the oats anymore...give it a stir now and again so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

Serve topped with a dollop of really cold plain yogurt and some fresh blueberries, and sprinkle that with a bit of nutmeg...

OR, top it with strawberries and a SMALL drizzle of pure maple syrup

OR.....use your imagination and put any combination of things on top, or nothing at all...it has a wholesome flavour and the texture is just wonderful...and it's glycemic index is rock bottom while it's fibre content is very high...it'll keep you satisfied all morning and keep sweet cravings at bay...talk about sticking to your ribs!!

Enjoy...I'm off to work, it's only -6 degrees Celsius here today so that's nice, beats the heck out of -33 last week!! That was horrid...

Tonight we're having salmon again but I'll try to be original and not make the same thing I did last time...

Have a wonderful day, all, keep safe and warm, and if you live in Ontario, keep in mind that the new Handsfree Device law is now in full effect as of yesterday, and yes, you can get a $500 to $1000 dollar fine if you're caught chatting, texting, checking email, whatever, while behind the wheel...
