Pro tip: Try savory oatmeal.
My pantry is stocked with hot breakfast cereals of every variety: oatmeal, cream of wheat, and steel-cut oats. Despite all the ways you can make oatmeal, I still go through bouts where I'm just really not into the idea of it for breakfast. Then I had a realization, thanks to Giada De Laurentiis: make the cereals savory by drizzling with olive oil and sea salt. Genius! I also started folding in nuts, shaved parmesan, and a few cracks of black pepper. To amp up the savoriness, I've even stirred in miso paste or Better Than Bouillon. Top it with a fried egg if you have some.
