Hi everyone! Here is the very first post for my Friends by Recipes Challenge. The challenge will last about two weeks, so come back every day to see a new, tasty recipe!
Anita suggested:
“You know what I started thinking this week ? Why not make a savory oatmeal ? Take the oatmeal and add a mashed sweet potato that has been roasted. I read on cara’s cravings, I think she put shredded zucchini into her oatmeal. I’ve also been thinking about pineapple and some of that coconut butter, like a pina colada oatmeal. As for savory oatmeal, I think almost any vegetable would work as a topping, maybe add some olive oil, salt, pepper. Some of the macrobiotic people eat vegetables for breakfast, why not?”
So, Anita, I made some Savory oatmeal:
Oatmeal cooked with shredded zucchini, and topped with a dollop of butternut squash puree, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper!
And some Pina Colada Oatmeal:
Pina Colada Oatmeal cooked with coconut milk/cream. Chunks of Pineapple mixed in. Topped with shredded coconut (and a maraschino cherry for decoration-don’t worry, I threw that High Fructose Corn Syrup-soaked fruit in the garbage as soon as I finished taking the picture!) I also placed the oatmeal in a glass, and decorated it with a bendy-straw and a slice of lime. I think this oatmeal would taste best chilled, or “Overnight Oat Style”
Together, they make the perfect Oatmeal Meal!

Ahh...Relax by the pool...
What is your favorite oatmeal mix-in? I tend to change from day to day-I like to keep things fresh!
Also, what is the weather like in your part of the world? Here in Florida it was 90* today!!! As you can see, it is still pool weather here
