The perfect combination of creamy oatmeal and strawberries.
Here's some easy to follow instructions on How to make perfect Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal just like my Grandma made!
Is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of oatmeal for breakfast? My Gramma made the absolute best oatmeal and I have never been able to replicate the flavour of hers. Maybe it was that she slow cooked it over a wood burning stove, or the fact that the cream came fresh from the cream separator. I may never quite get my Gramma's perfect oatmeal but this is pretty close, how to make perfect strawberries and cream oatmeal.
As the oatmeal was cooking we got shooed out to the garden to get fresh raspberries or strawberries, whatever was ripe at the time. My Gramma never thought about organic foods, nutrition values, calorie counts - she just cooked great food.
Oatmeal is still my favourite breakfast meal. I always use Large Flake Oatmeal that takes about 15 minutes to cook. I like the texture and flavour far better than the quick cook or instant. Strawberries are in season so today it was Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal.
