Ridiculously Good Oatmeal

Here are the keys to making amazing oatmeal.

Start with old fashioned rolled oats.

Use half water and half milk. Bring to a boil on the stovetop.

Add the oats, as well as any or all of the following:
dried cherries
dried cranberries
dried blueberries
raisins
drizzle of honey
chopped walnuts
chopped apple

Stir over medium heat, and when the oatmeal is ready, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

This is oatmeal. Makes a wonderful breakfast on a crisp autumnal morning.
