Recipe: Oatmeal with Rhubarb Compote

This takes the boring out of oatmeal. I was inspired my Viva's breakfast cereal to take this to the next level. I like mine with soy milk and crushed, roasted pistachios. You will look forward to breakfast.

1/2 cup of oatmeal

1/2 cup soy or regular milk

1/2 cup of water

1/4 teaspoon cardamon (optional)
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1/3 cup rhubarb compote (See recipe for Rhubarb Compote)

Yield: 1 serving

In a small saucepan bring water and milk to a boil, add oatmeal, stirring frequently until done, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat, place in bowl. Top with rhubarb compote. Sprinkle crushed pistachios and brown sugar on top.
