Jennet Bessinger: I am Jennet and I am with Balance for Life and we are making healthy breakfasts. Right now were going to do crock pot oatmeal. This is a very-very simple meal and the beauty of it is it can be prepared the night before. All you do is take a cup of oats because youre cooking it slowly over a long period of time, you can actually use oats in there whole form which is the oat grout, or the next level down which is chopped, its called the steel-cut oat, they are almost like a little pebbles. And the organic version is definitely the best. So if you take a cup of steel-cut oats, place it into your crock pot. Then you need about our cups of liquid to be able to absorb it slowly through out the evening.

So I am going to actually use half apple juice and half water. One, two, three and four, we do that so its not so sweet but you might prefer to do it using apple juice exclusively. After that I like to include a few nuts, may be a quarter cup you can use more if you want and you can actually use a whole raw almond because it cooks for so long that it will soften it down make it very easy to chew.

Put that right in there and you can add a little spice but because its cooking over such a long period of time, it wont have much of a punch. So its nice to spice it the next morning when you wake up. Do a little -- this is cinnamon and I am just putting a cup with pinches in, generous pinches and if you do start with some cinnamon or some nutmeg, pumpkin pie spices when you wake up in the morning your house filled with a fragrant aroma of cooking oat meal.

Give it a little stir, set it on low, cover it and you can leave it overnight for up to fourteen hours. When you wake up in the morning and you smell the cinnamon in the air, just take the lid off and it will be a little separated so use a heavy spoon, stir it around a few times and its ready to serve.

This is a wonderful breakfast on a cold wintry morning and actually, you will keep in a fridge, if you dont use it all the first day. So thats how we make crock pot oat meal and next we going to be trying something a little different, we going to be making a Savory Miso Soup for breakfast.
