Soothing Porridge

With colder weather upon us, a very simple way to start your day with a wealth of nutrients is found in what I like to call...Soothing Porridge. It's very easy to make...

1 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup oats (no quick cooking, thank you)
2 T raisins
1/2 medium apple, peeled and diced
1 T dried cranberries or other dried fruit
cinnamon

Place all ingredients into small saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook until oats are soft.
Pour into bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon. Add milk, if desired. Or, I enjoy it without milk. The sweetness from the fruits doesn't require any additional sugar.

Enjoy!
