10 minute hot breakfast

10 min hot whole-grain fiber breakfast: 2 cups oats (real oats, not instant), 1 apple, handful of raisins, sprinkle of ground cinnamon, a dash of honey ... Mmmm...

TIP: Don't waste your money on the "instant" oatmeals or the "quick-cooking" oatmeal.   They're loaded with sugar and who knows what else and the whole grain for the most part, has been eliminated.   Unfortunately, Quaker makes both.   Once kids get used to the sugar cereals, it's hard to get them readjusted to unsweetened or sweetened naturally cereals.

The "quick" oatmeal takes 5 minutes instead of 10, so you're not saving much time and you're buying a LOT less for your money.
