How many of you made the New Year’s resolution to get healthy or to lose weight? If so, you will love that January is National Oatmeal Month! Did you know that eating oatmeal can lower your cholesterol and may reduce the risk of heart disease? And one 3/4 cup serving of oatmeal is only 110 calories. It’s no wonder more oatmeal is consumed in January than in any other month of the year!
But oatmeal is not only for breakfast! And since it’s estimated that over 80% of Americans have oats in their cupboards, here are a few ways to cook them up!

Love oatmeal! Thanks for the mention of my whole wheat and oatmeal spice cake. I love to eat it with peanut butter too, just microwave, stir in some peanut butter, and eat!
