In the cold weather, I love oatmeal. It is so warm and filling. This recipe is for apricot oatmeal. Sweeten things up without using raisins.

• 1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
• Ground ginger
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1 Cup water
• Honey
• Walnut, optional

Combine water, oatmeal, salt, and apricots. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes. Top with a bit of honey, a shake of ginger and a handful of walnuts.
