De-lish Oatmeal

"I love breakfast almost more than I love dessert. I was inspired to experiment with oatmeal after visiting one of my favorite breakfast places. I vary the recipe a little almost every time I make it, using whatever fresh fruit is in season. It always tastes 'de-lish' - thus, the name. I like organic oats because they keep their shape and taste better, but regular oats will do." -Sonja Elias, Minneapolic

Ingredients:

3/4 cup water
3/4 cup apple cider
1 cup organic rolled oats
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup diced pear
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup fat-free milk

Directions:

1. Bring water and apple cider to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in oats and salt; reduce heat to low, and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add pear, cranberries, cinnamon, and vanilla, stirring gently to combine; cook 3 minutes or until oats are tender. Stir in pecans and milk.

Yield: 3 Servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup).
