Savory Oats with Mushrooms and Spinach

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

One of my favorite comfort foods is savory oatmeal. One of my best friends introduced me to the concept. It is so versatile, nutritious, filling, comforting and so quick to make it. I have it for breakfast or as a quick lunch topped with a sunny side egg. Yum!! from Dr. Santhi Nair, Dr. Yum Project Founding Board Member.
