Someone eats oatmeal at our house almost every morning. As a mom, I try to vary the healthy stir-in’s to help encourage them to eat it. One of my favorites, is this “Strawberries and Cream” version. (I like my oatmeal kind of thick and not so runny … as you can see in the picture!)
Grab a bowl and let’s get to work!

Check out some things I found on the web this week –
Don’t these Chicken Parm-urritos! at The Yummy Life just make you drool? I love the combination of ingredients and know my family will too!
I know soup isn’t really a “summer” food, but I love soup! This Summer Vegetable Chowder at Cake Student looks like a wonderful way to use your garden’s bounty! Healthy and tasty – what more could you ask for?
I’m sure some of my regular readers have figured out that my family loves pizza … if you’re new and stick around for awhile, you’ll notice! 😉 This Pad Thai Pizza By Lady Behind the Curtain combines the best of Pad Thai and pizza … the results, I’m sure are amazing! Chalk this up as another Friday night recipe to try!
I have no words for this No-Bake Strawberry Milkshake Cheesecake by Sprinkle Bakes … the picture says it all! I wonder if she delivers? 😉
My favorite, “favoritest” (ok, I made that word up) fish is salmon. This Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce from Damn Delicious sounds so tantalizing! Since I don’t know how to say the “s” word, I just call it “rooster sauce”. 🙂 This recipe sounds quick, easy and sure to please! I cannot wait to try this one out!
I hope y’all have a fantastic weekend. I think we’re planning on enjoying 2nd Saturday – here in NC, there are tons of free things to do all over the state during the summer on the 2nd Saturday of the month.
Linked up at these fun parties!

Hi Jamie. This is so nice of you to highlight food from other blogs and give us the opportunity to find other great foodies.
I am not an oatmeal eater and have never been but I have to admit, yours is the best, I have ever seen.
Truth be told, I'm not much of an oatmeal eater either – I prefer toast and coffee ….. but on occasion, I will eat it 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by Chaya!
Gotta try the oatmeal. Love that it makes just one serving since I'me the only one in the house that will willingly eat oatmeal. lol
My kids LOVE it …. we have so many variations it's crazy! hope you like it 🙂
