Palate-Pleasing Pear Oatmeal

My group of 8th graders are working on an alliteration lesson and will create a book with the 4th graders on Moloka'i, so I have alliteration on my brain.

Anyway, this morning's oatmeal was extra yummy so just wanted to share the simplicity and yummy goodness of palate pleasing pears

I cut up

• one pear 
• a couple of dates 
• a frozen banana

Meanwhile, I was bringing to a boil

• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of non-dairy milk (plain soy is our milk of choice because you can buy a case at Costco)

When the liquids start to boil, add

• cut up fruits
• 2/3 cup of Coach's Oats

Toasted a few walnuts on the side, lowered heat to let the cereal simmer for 5 minutes. When it was done I added

• dash of cinnamon
• dash of nutmeg

Yum!
