In celebration of the fact that I’m actually up in time for breakfast, I made tropical getaway oats.
A 1/3C of oatmeal with cooked a banana and topped with
- dried papaya
- dried pineapple
- dried (unsweetened) coconut
- and some skim milk
Does anyone else find that a serving (1/2C) of oatmeal is just too much? I’m not sure if it’s the banana. I couldn’t even finish this.
Nice way to start off a Monday. I’m planning on staying late-ish at school so I’m totally ready for Thursday, and then I have plans for the gym and a movie date with A.


I saw your comment on Kath’s blog. Love the idea of dried fruit. I only used canned because we had some leftover, so I thought I’d try it. Loved the tropical flavors. I love oatmeal AND bananas and chew, just like Kath, I also hate onions as does she. Just thought I’d take a peek at your blog. If you want to look at mine, beware, I’m all about baking and goodies!
Oh, and yes, 1/2 cup oats is a bit much. I do the 1/3 cup. So does Kath. I think she used to do 1/2 and sometimes still does.
