Method

Prepare Oatmeal

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water (or milk), and salt.

  2. 2

    Cook the Oatmeal

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.

  3. 3

    Serve Oatmeal

    Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute. Serve hot in bowls.

Prepare Brown Sugar

  1. 4

    Portion Brown Sugar

    Measure out 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and place it in a small bowl for serving.

Prepare Fresh Fruit Cup

  1. 5

    Chop Fruit

    Wash the strawberries and blueberries. Hull the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters. Peel and slice the banana into rounds.

  2. 6

    Assemble Fruit Cup

    In a serving bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices. Toss gently to mix.
