Often, porridge reminds many of a meal their parents force-feed them during cold winter mornings or when they’re feeling under the weather. In my family, however, oatmeal has always been perceived as a treat! While I don’t have the privilege of eating my fathers homemade porridge, I’ve taken it upon myself this summer to enjoy oats on my own. There’s something comforting about a warm bowl of thick oats when it’s raining cats and dogs out. The rhythmic tapping noise of the drops hitting the shutters makes nice background music for the healthy meal. Dice some nectarines and blueberries and sprinkle them on top, and hop back in bed for a clean and tasty bowl of heavenly goodness.
