Oatmeal Mix-ins The Tiny Kitchen Assistant eats oatmeal every morning. Every. Single. Morning. Understandably, this can get a little bit boring. I’ve tried livening things up by mixing in cool stuff. His genius creation: Nutella and strawberries. I have to tell you, that’s pretty good, but it’s not an everyday breakfast. I’m running out of […] Read More
