Its quick, delicious and nutritious (depending on your add ins) and it is one of my son's favorites. A big win-win for Wednesdays! I make the standard toasted oatmeal and with each week introduce new toppings. My favorite is the sauteed apples (recipe below), Lil' Buddy's is almonds and cranberries (not too shabby either!)
