Frozen Avocado

One of my comfort foods is mushed avocado mixed with milk and sugar. I have to eat it frozen though to enjoy it and I had a serving of it - okay two - today after lunch. Yummy! Perfect for hot summer days like today. Too bad I don't have my camera. I should take a photo next time.

Steel-Cut Oats

I've always wondered how steel-cut oats or Irish oats tasted, and I finally bought a box the other week and gave it a try. I prefer it to rolled oats. It's chewier and creamier. It takes a longer time to cook, but the trick is to prepare it the night before by boiling water and dropping a cup of the oats and leaving it overnight. The next day, just heat it for about 10 minutes.
