We love oatmeal, but sometimes I get tired of serving it basically the same way. When I saw this recipe for Savory Oatmeal I wanted to try it. Arthur and I decided it was worth adding to our breakfast repetoire. Ingredients for 2 servings: 3 strips of bacon 1 1/2 cups oatmeal  1 cup plain almond milk 1 cup water (or 2 cups water and no almond milk) 1-2 chopped scallions (whites separated from greens) 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoons salt  2 eggs 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 cup heavy cream (or 1/2 & 1/2) 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sriracha or hot sauce (opt.) Steps to Prepare Chop the bacon and saute until crispy. Drain the bacon but leave the grease in the pan. Bring the water and almond milk to a simmer along with the whites of the scallions, the butter, and a teaspoon of salt. Stir in the oatmeal and cook until tender. Cover and set aside. Fry the eggs in pan containing bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until they are as done as you like them. Put the oatmeal

 I love these biscuits! They remind me of bagels but you can make them yourself without too much work and with great results. I served mine topped with Tomato Gravy for a delicious breakfast. Ingredients For the everything bagel mix 2 tbsp sesame seeds 2 tbsp poppy seeds 1 tbsp dried minced onion 2 tsp dried minced garlic 1 tsp coarse salt For the biscuits 2½ cups (325 g) all purpose flour 2½ tsp baking powder 1 tsp coarse salt 4 tbsp (55 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, cold, cut into ½-inch cubes 1 cup (235 mL) buttermilk Instructions Heat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. To make the everything bagel seed mix, mix together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.  You won't need all of the mix but its good on other things as well. To make the biscuits, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and cream cheese to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter
