Chai-Spiced Oatmeal
BY MICHAEL COLES
There is nothing like a hot cup of coffee and a warm breakfast on a chilly Fall morning! I hear people say oatmeal hits the spot in the morning. My wife (Colleen) eats oatmeal at least 3 times a week. Oatmeal looks so boring to me so I thought I’d spice it up a bit!
Cook time: 10 minutes
