Blueberry Heaven

I had a fun breakfast date with Zach this morning before rushing off to work for a long day. I dared to veer from my standard breakfast (double fiber english muffin with peanut butter) and was most satisfied with my selection. I thought I would share. I made one serving of old fashioned oatmeal - the kind you actually cook on the stove with water, oats and salt. Still not sure what the salt does, but why mess with a good thing. As my yummy concoction was simmering on the stove for 5 minutes I decided to add blueberries - good brainfood - to it. So, I put the berries in the bowl and then added the oatmeal on top after the timer beeped. Then, giving into my sweet tooth a bit I squirted a bit of honey on top and mixed it up. So good! Not only was the taste so good, but the blueberries were nice and warm - almost cooked - reminiscent of the cooked blueberries in a fresh, out of the oven blueberry muffin. Maybe I'm the only one who is surprised that if you pour a bubbling hot substance on cold berries their temperature will also rise. But, I was surprised and delighted nonetheless. Added bonus - it is a low in points b-fast - 2 for the oatmeal and 1 for the berries. And additional added bonus - it "sticks to your ribs", as my mom always says so I wasn't hungry for my typical mid-morning snack. Perhaps this blueberry delight could replace the english muffin as the new breakfast of choice. If only it could be portable. Hmmm...
