Cooking With Dr. G

When I was a kid I used to love those little packages of instant oatmeal.  One of my favorite flavors was blueberries and cream…but let’s be honest, I loved them all: maple brown sugar, cinnamon raisin, strawberry, peach…drool…

I still really like oatmeal, I just try to eat a less sugar laden version now.  I made this blueberry and lemon oatmeal one Sunday morning and decided it was too good not to share.

This recipes is simple, but so delicious.  Also, give me a high five for the shortest blog post ever!

Happy eating and best health,

1. Prepare the oats according to the package instructions.
