Laura's Yummy High-Protein Oatmeal

Plain old oatmeal gets kicked up a few notches in both flavor and nutritional quota.

• 1/3 cup rolled oats (not instant)
• dash cinnamon
• dash salt (optional)
• 2 tablespoons walnut pieces
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 1/2 apple, cubed
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon honey

Mix all ingredients except cottage cheese and honey. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook for five minutes or till desired consistency, stirring occasionally.

Stir in cottage cheese and honey.

Serves one.

I really like this with a cup of tea—don't know what else you would need with it, nutritionally!
