Saturday, April 23 here in Manila. I managed to get a little creative with my breakfast today. I had my oatmeal and instead of fruits or honey or sugar for sweeteners, I added a pack of M&M chocolates. Oatmeals aren't just easy to prepare they are extremely healthy as well. A bowl of oatmeal can lower the level of bad cholesterol and can reduce the risk of heart attack provided you have a low fat diet. You can't eat a bowl of oatmeal every breakfast and then have burgers, large fries, and a large serving of soda for lunch, snack, and dinner and expect to still be healthy. As for M&Ms , who doesn't know about the chocolates that melt in your mouth and not in your hands. Those little chocolates wrapped in a colorful candy shell with the small letter 'm' in one side is possibly one of the more popular brands in the world. Anyway, the oatmeal-M&Ms experiment turned out well. The hot milk of the oatmeal melted the candy shells of the M&Ms and some of the chocolates as well. It was a good breakfast that I'm having another round for my morning snack!!! Have you tried something different to eat lately? Share your experience here.

I am too full to think. We went to a German Buffet this evening. I had cherry moose which is actually a hot pudding in the Mennonite German style.

@toniganzon nice new photo sis! Iced coffee? You are doing a disservice to coffee! Siomai? Used to eat it before but now, I'll likely pass.

It can be a funny alternative, but I believe that fruits are surely more healthy. I had oatmeal and zucchini muffins for breakfast.

Fruits are definitely healthier Anna. Sometimes, I just want to give in to the temptation!

That is interesting to have oatmeal and M&M's together. I bought oats to start having oatmeal after I finish my cereal.

Right now, I'm adding either muscovado sugar or chocolate flavored condensed milk to my oats.

@allen0187 allen, very interesting. I have not started eating oatmeal yet. I have cereal left to use up. After finished I will eat it. I put some sugar on and boil the water and pour over the oats and will add milk and banana.

i tend to soak oatmeal overnight so that in the morning, i just add more water if needed and heat them a bit. i've added all sorts of things in the past - milk, sugar, banana, raisins, cinnamon, milo, coffee... i've read about coffee flavored m&m here yesterday. that would be awesome!

Coffee flavored M&Ms sound just right to me! I'd have some most definitely!

Having M&Ms on my cereal wouldn't do my weight any good but I'm sure it tasted yummy.

Dump a big bag of Peanut M&M's into your popcorn next time you're at the movie's. It's really good. (If you've already done this, disregard.)
