Breakfast porridge stew
1.5 C water
dash salt (optional, but it makes a difference)
.75 C old fashioned oats
2 small or 1 large eating apple, cored & hacked into bite-sized bits (peeling optional)
2 little boxes (.5 C) raisins
1 can peaches in water or lite syrup, drained well
.5 tsp cinnamon
sugar or brown sugar to taste
Put water, apples and salt in a med. saucepan, heat to boiling.
Boil apples for about 3 minutes.
Add oats and raisins, cook for 5 minutes uncovered, stirring every now and then. Don't let it burn!
Set aside uncovered. Stir in peaches and cinnamon while it cools.
Serve with sugar or Splenda (Granulated or Brown, but I don't recommend the little packets with this) to taste. Milk or cream on the side.
The fruit adds yummy bulk for hearty eaters. You could serve with sausage if you wanted a nice contrast, but there's lots of protein in the oats.
(We remove the stems and seeds and feed the apple cores to our dogs. Don't let them have the finished product as the raisins are a Very Bad Idea.)
