Blueberry Toasted Almond Oatmeal

I had the pleasure of spending the holidays with my mom and grandma — and enjoying a menu change. My mom starts many of her days with a power-breakfast of oatmeal, blueberries, and almonds. I can confidently say “power-breakfast” since her cholesterol has dropped significantly since oatmeal became a part of her morning routine. In addition to being great for the heart, this breakfast is also a tasty aid for weight loss, brain health, and beautiful skin. Enjoy!
