I have oatmeal for breakfast most mornings. So, it is always nice to have a different way to make it. I enjoyed this version and liked that if the honey was skipped, it was a vegan friendly way to have oats without them being boring. I did have to add some more oats for it not to overly thin. However, I do like a thicker oatmeal so that could just have been me. I sprinkled some extra dried cranberries on top. Made for vegetarian tag.

Rita this is really great! Tagged for Cupid's Choice 2009. I am sitting here typing, picture taking, and eating all at once. LOL I love the sweet and tart flavors together. I would never think to use cranberry juice in oatmeal but WOW what a winner. Now I have another fruit serving added to my day. I did not add honey as it was great as is, did throw in a few strawberries for garnish. Thank you, Connie pictures added
