THE DIVINE YUM YUM BOWL

This is not Chinese take-out: it is the ultimate in gooey deliciousness with great health benefits that takes only minutes to prepare.

Here’s what you need:

–½ C Rolled Oats (not instant)
–1C Water
–Dash of Stevia
–Dash iof Cinnamon
–Dash of Salt

Here’s what you do:

–Nuke the mixutre for about a minute and a half and let stand for one minute.

–Mix in 1 large tablespoon (I tell you 1 TBSP but we all know you are gonna put a humungous, ginormous soup spoon-ful in there, that’s ok, none of us are gonna be on the Victoria’s Secret runway anytime soon) chunky all natural peanut butter. I recommend Maranatha for a texture that is like peanut butter fudge. In fact, the stuff is so thick and gooey I often get lock-jaw. Like, my husband asks me questions that get no response. I mean, can’t he see I am BUSY with my damn peanut butter?

–Throw in a handful of chopped almonds for added crunch along with dried fruit of your choice – raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots.

Here are some variations (I have lots of variations since I tend to eat the Yum Yum twice a day, breakfast and a late night snack:

For a fantabulous breakfast throw in a scoop of chocolate protein powder and sliced banana. Or, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, walnuts sprinkled with raisins.

For the adventurous substitute peanut butter with a tablespoon or two (or ten, oink oink) of Coconut Oil with fresh berries.
Oatmeal is a great addition to your diet for many reasons: it is proven to lower cholesterol, is full of fiber for nicely shaped poopies, and because it generates warm- fuzzy childhood memories of mom’s warm oatmeal cookies. Plus, the Quaker Oatmeal guy is a total hottie.

The real deal behind losing weight and maintaining it for a lifetime is a diet filled with delicious foods that are naturally nutritious.

Now go give that Quaker Stud a big luscious lick.

Hot Sundae
