I eat oatmeal more than once a year, but you'd never know it based on my blog posts.

Last year's creamy oatmeal toppings (and the recipe) are discussed here.

This morning, I had my oatmeal with flax seed, organic brown sugar, pecans, dried cranberries, butter, whipping cream, and a little too much salt. Go light on the salt, kids!

Some snacks you just don't mess with.

(it's really only worth a blurry picture)

A classic Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie is a beautiful thing. It's soft, squishy, creamy, sweet, and simple. I understand why the people at Little Debbie might want to make something else delicious in the same vein. I could eat four to six of them right now.

The newer Little Debbie PB&J Oatmeal Pie, however, doesn't work. Here, the Oatmeal cookies are stiff, not soft. The peanut butter and jelly filling they've created is not tasty enough to complement the oatmeal. It falls flat. I am relatively sure I will never eat another one, and I'm pretty fond of a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Monstrous
