Easy Oatmeal Recipes I love oatmeal, always have.  A wonderful breakfast option or late lunch (which happens more than I care to admit).   My used to make us hot steamy cups of atole before we headed out to class each morning, it lined the belly with a blanket of sheer comfort.

A small gesture of love that made me love that man even more.        Two weeks ago on a Friday night I had the bright idea… Read More
