Pumpkin Oatmeal with Dried Cranberries and Agave

[Guest guest]

Thank you for bearing with me these past couple of weeks. I have

finally got my new blog up and running and I thought I would start my

first post with the best way to start any " new " day. OATMEAL. I told

you I would be on an oatmeal kick!

 

Don't make fun of me, but I am a bit on a health kick. I think it is

after I read a book about being vegan. Not that I could EVER be

vegan, or vegetarian for that matter, but it is still interesting to

read what is influencing other people's decisions about their food.

But, what it did do was open up my eyes to new ingredients like agave

nectar, soy dairy-products, unbleached flour (which I was doing

anyway) and coconut oil. So bare with me until I get this out of my

system. I am sure you will be hearing more and more about these

ingredients.

 

Also, we have started back to work on a really fun show. We are

starting our Broadway " rep " where there are many fishnets, high

heels, low cut dresses, short skirts and SINGING! Yes. I have to sing

in the next rep. Everyone is Seattle should buy a ticket just so they

can hear the ballet dancers try to sing.

 

Well..if not that, at least make my oatmeal.....

 

Serves 2

 

Prep time:1 minute

 

Cook time: 15 minutes

 

1 c. vanilla soy milk

 

1 c. water

 

Pinch of Kosher salt

 

1 c. organice whole rolled oats

 

1/4 c. canned pumpkin

 

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

 

2 tbsp. agave nectar

 

1/3 c. dried cranberries

 

Bring soy milk, water, and pinch of salt to a boil. Add the rolled

oats and reduce heat, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes

(depending on how you like your oatmeal). Add in the canned pumpkin,

pumpkin pie spice, agave syrup, and cranberries, stir until combined.

Cover and remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes. Adjust

seasonings (like more soy milk or pumpkin pie spice) and drizzle a

little more agave syrup on top. Serve warm!
