Z is for Zucchini
I sometimes wonder how some grated zucchini, raisins, cinnamon, and a touch of ground clove will taste mixed together in my morning oatmeal.

Oatmeal: Y is for Yogurt
Y is for Yogurt
Honestly, I only use yogurt when there isn't any milk. It's good in a granola parfait with fruit--not so good mixed into hot oatmeal where it leaves a bad aftertaste.
Y is for Yeast
Nutritional yeast is supposed to taste cheesy. I keep meaning to purchase some to see if my husband will be tricked by it on popcorn--thinking I made cheese popcorn. So, I have never tried it in oatmeal.

Oatmeal: X is for xocolatl - Ancient Aztec for chocolate
X is for Xocolatl
I wrote about chocolate in oatmeal before but I can never stress enough how necessary chocolate is to my well-being. I will be ever grateful to live in a world with Xocolatl.

Oatmeal: W is for Walnuts
W is for Walnuts
Nuts and oatmeal work well mixed together. Walnuts are one of those powerfoods we should all be eating.

Oatmeal: V is for Vanilla
V is for Vanilla
Kashi has vanilla oatmeal. I save myself the money by making my own by adding a few drops of vanilla extract into my oatmeal before heating it. Yum.

Oatmeal: U
U is for You
You come up with something starting with U to mix into oatmeal. Ugli fruit? All I can think of is sqUash. Mashed or pureed squash.

Oatmeal: Tahini
T is for Tahini
Middle Eastern Oatmeal: which proves oatmeal is as versatile as cabbage (according to a paper I wrote in high school, cabbage is often overlooked but highly versatile).
T is for Tea
Some mornings, when my son did not sleep well, I consider replacing my oatmeal water with brewed Constant Comment or a chai tea.

Oatmeal: S is for Soy Sauce
S is for Soy Sauce
Never would I have thought to try steel cut oats with scallions and soy sauce. Initially, it was odd. Then addictive.
S is for Squash
In a pinch, purred squash can fill in for pumpkin.
S is for Sweet Potato
Never tried this but am tempted to try on the rare occasion there is leftover sweet potato in the fridge.
S is for Salt.
Necessary for flavor.
S is for Sugar
Not always necessary for flavor.
S is for Strawberries
Fresh is good, dried are expensive but delicious.
S is for Sunflower Seeds
Like granola without the oil!
