THIS …

This has seriously become Mr. Fantabulous’ favorite thing for breakfasty-type foods.  Thing is, he eats it at any time of the day.  This is often his go-to meal choice after working out.  When he has it then I’ll add in some vanilla protein powder while cooking it to give it even more protein.  This so good that even if you didn’t like cranberries or oatmeal I bet you’d love it.

See I initially made this up for me after a hard work out and since I *thought* I knew my husband, I only made enough for me.  I honestly didn’t think he’d like this with the ginger and the cranberries in it.  I went the typical route with him and made him his 2 TKW McMuffins and I this.  Well I set his plate down and then came back to the table with mine bowl of this glorious yumminess.  People the look of “HEYYYYYYYYYYYY WTH MAN??  DON’T YOU LOVE ME???  ARE YOU MAD AT ME?  CAN I HAVE SOME? WHERE’S MINE???” that I got from my darling husband was so priceless that I literally busted out laughing at him – just at his face.  He finished his one McMuffin and kept looking at all full of smiles shoveling this into my face as fast as I could.  A good portion of the time when I create new recipes like this it’s kind of adhoc.  Well this was one that I was thanking Baby Jesus, my lucky stars and the dear heavens for.

Well about 3 bites into mine I hear “Hey, you know honey, you should really eat your food slow and chew it.  Actually you should let it cool down first a bit.”  Now this part of my husband I know quite well.  See while he did have a quasi-care of my digestive well-being there was an ulterior motive here.  He wanted some; he wanted some bad.  Now I could have been a little brat and totally blew him off or even messed with him by doing the “OMG Honey this is so amazing!  My God!” and rub it his face but I didn’t.  I put my spoon down and said “Do you want to try it?” I think before I got the 3rd word out of that sentence he was saying “YESSSSSS!” lol  So I got up and walked *maybe 10 steps* to get another spoon and as I turned around he was face deep in my bowl with MY spoon eating MY food.  LOL  Between inhalings all I could hear was “OMG Honey!  HONEY!  OMG!  HONEY!  This is so frreakin amazing!  OMG! WOW”…
Well you know how I said was 3 bites into eating it earlier?  Um yeah, that’s ALL I GOT!  If he could have licked the white off of the white bowl he would have!  LOL
Since creating this recipe I’ve made it literally every-single-day!  We’re talking a good 2 weeks easily!
You have to make this, seriously, HAVE TO!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk *if using skim or low fat add about 2 tablespoon of heavy cream. This will prevent the milk from breaking.
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup fresh/frozen cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 3 tablespoon Cranberry Relish
  • 2 tablespoon white chocolate chips
  • Shaved white chocolate for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, add milk, ginger and fresh cranberries over low heat.
  2. When the milk starts to simmer around the edges, add 2 tablespoon of cranberry relish.
  3. Stir to combine.
  4. When the mixture returns to simmer, add in the white chocolate chips and stir gently for 3 seconds.
  5. Add in the oats and stir
  6. Once the mixture has thickened (about 2-3 minutes), remove from heat and place in a bowl.
  7. Garnish with shaved white chocolate and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cranberry relish.

Notes

If you want to make this for a post-work out snack, 3 tablespoon of vanilla protein powder in when you add the oats. Also, you may want to increase the milk another 3 tablespoon
