Strawberries and Cream

Oats are a staple in our home.  I put them in pancakes, cookies, and breads.  In the winter the kids get a steaming hot bowl one morning a week.  Since oats are so yummy, good for you, filling and cheap, I knew that I needed to find a way to keep it on the breakfast table for summer time.  Enter what I call blender breakfast pudding.  Thankfully my kids are young enough now that if you put dessert words in a title they are bound to at least try it!

Abi isn't a fan of oatmeal.  She eats it because that's what's served.  So I was wondering how this would go over with her as she's my biggest critic.  Surprise!  She loved it.  Just not the chocolate version.  Not liking chocolate?  Seriously wonder if we're related somedays....
