I say, “Oat.” you say, “Meal.” Oatmeal!

Guess what I saw this morning? An oatmeal bar!

Yesterday I was out there ranting about the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday in Pensacola, Florida. That was nothing. I got up this morning, wandered down to get some coffee at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Pensacola, and saw this. An oatmeal bar!

That’s right, a steaming pot of freshly prepared oatmeal with nine optional toppings sat right there next to a pitcher of oat milk and a shaker of cinnamon. Wait a minute. Nine toppings? That’s right. Walnuts, craisins, granola, brown sugar, raisins, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes.

I rubbed my eyes. Yep, this was the real deal.

Free breakfast usually means a disk of sausage-like meat, rubbery scrambled eggs, juice, a waffle, mushy apples and an unripe banana, and cereal with milk. Oatmeal? Cool!

After coffee and a shower, we headed to the lobby and to get a bowl full of early morning oatmeal-goodness.

Now, I am determined to up my oatmeal game. Feel free to stop by for an amazing breakfast.
