/I cannot wait to catch another sale on organic cherries again!
Good thing Chris is not a fan of cherries. I had these babies all to myself!
Yesterday, for breakfast, I made a simple bowl of cherry almond oatmeal. I’m still on the 1/2 rolled oats, 1/2 oat bran kick and dousing the top of my bowl with ice cold milk. It helps cool things off and makes breakfast oh, so creamy. I mixed in cherries at the end of cooking and used them as a topping. Also added, was a heaping scoop of homemade, plain roasted almond butter.
Pitting cherries is not fun, but this bowl was worth the annoyance + the stained cutting board.

Also on top, Love Grown Foods Cocoa Goodness. The hint of chocolate was divine!
Simply delicious.
