Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal

Often the simplest meals are the most satisfying. Sure, I love sushi or a perfectly seared beef fillet. But I look forward to pb&j or a grilled cheese sandwich just as much. These comfort foods never grow old. And that's how I feel about a warm bowl of oatmeal. My favorite way to prepare it includes a spoonful of peanut butter (or almond butter) and a sliced banana. And I usually top it off with a drizzle of honey. A hearty, healthy way to begin (or end) any day.
