This oatmeal is 'Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats, a pinhead oat, also known as Irish oats. Bob's oats are grown in the northwest, and cut into neat little pieces on a steel buhr mill. They make a hearty cereal with a rustic texture. I add ground flaxseed and raisens or prunes, and just a tad of brown sugar and cinnamon. Portion sizes should be small, because this fiber cereal is very filling. When I make a big pot, I box-up several small servings for George, to take to work for a morning and mid-day snack.

I had these red anjou pears with blueberries for breakfast also, with Greek yogurt. There is nothing like a fresh juicy pear and the sudden burst of blueberry juice when the berries are chewed. Just simply.....bliss.
