SAVORY TOMATO AND OLIVE OATMEAL

Savory Tomato and Olive Oatmeal image

Who says oatmeal has to be sweet? I love this savory oatmeal recipe because it starts my day in a healthy, fulfilling way. The fresh garlic, tomatoes and basil are bright notes in a breakfast that keeps me satisfied until lunch. The oatmeal gives me protein and fiber, and I add a splash of extra virgin olive oil at the end for heart health. -Roland McAmis Jr., Greeneville, Tennessee
