Steve's Oatmeal

Steve's Oatmeal

This is a recipe my husband makes and this last time it was incredible!
Hope that you enjoy this recipe too!

Ingredients:

1 cup of milk (we normally use soy milk, for this recipe we used vanilla almond milk)
2 cups of water
Dash of salt
2 cups of oatmeal (we use quick cooking oats, does not work well with instant oats)
2 tablespoons of butter (we use Earth Balance or Smart Balance Light)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla (use less if you use vanilla soy or almond milk)
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 ripe banana (optional, or can use any fruit you enjoy)

Directions:

Place medium sized pot onto burner on high.

Add one cup of milk and two cups of water, bring it to a boil. Make sure to stir so the milk does not burn on the bottom.

When boiling add a dash of salt.

After comes to a boil add 2 cups of oatmeal. Make sure at a rolling bowl and reduce to a simmer.

Let simmer 5-10 minutes until it has reached the desired thickness.

Once at the desired thickness add your additional ingredients, 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. We don't always use vanilla almond or soy milk, when we do we reduce the amount of vanilla used.

Mix everything together, top with banana or fruit of your choice, serve and enjoy!

Red Robin Restaurant Review, Saturday, July 31, 2010

Red Robin Restaurant Review

Red Robin is a burger joint with several locations around the metro St. Louis area, as well as located all through out the United States. You may have seen the commercials recently where Red Robin introduced their new all vegan boca burger you can order off their menu.

My husband and I dined at the Red Robin location in Chesterfield at 17308 Chesterfield Airport Rd. Chesterfield, MO 63006 this past Thursday for lunch.

I decided to order their Natural Burger, with lettuce instead of a bun, a vegan boca burger instead of a meat patty. My husband ordered the All-American Patty Melt. Any burger on the menu can be custom to order at Red Robin.

When the burger arrived it was served on a plate instead of the usual burger basket with fries. This was a refreshing change and it made my afternoon meal feel more sit down rather than fast food dining.

The burger was cooked just right and the lettuce wrapped around the patty was amazing with the tomato, red onion, pickles and mustard inside.

I've added a picture of The Customizer that is on Red Robin's website, as well as a picture showing the nutritional details of the burger.



Overall the quality of the food was great, service was good as I was able to get several refills of water, price is average for the cost of a gourmet burger but reasonable.
