Cherry Almond Irish Oatmeal

One of my favorites for breakfast is oatmeal.   I am particularly fond of Irish Oatmeal or steel cut oats.  I love the chewy nutty texture of steel cut oats.  Being Irish Oatmeal is less processed, it is higher in dietary fiber,  B-vitamins, calcium, and protein.  Today, my oatmeal was made in my crock- pot.  I add the ingredients before I go to bed, and let it cook for 6-7 hours on low.  I added some dried cherries, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the oats.  I also cooked the oats in vanilla flavored almond milk.  The result was a healthy and tasty breakfast.
