Cacao-date Oatmeal
During the bone-chilling days of winter, I want to wake up to a warm bowl of oatmeal. :Lucikly this simple dish takes just 10 min to prepare. I can even cook up a batch on my prep day and store the oatmeal in individual containers so I can grab it when I have an early day at work. Once a week, I pop it in the microwave and enjoy a filling healthy breakfast.
