Vanilla 7-Grain Oatmeal with Blueberries & Sweet Cherries

 After several days of traveling, my BF was home once again this weekend.  Even better, we weren’t on the go meeting friends, running errands or heading out for off-roading adventures.  So, we were able to spend a lovely quiet Sunday morning together.  What’s more perfect for a lazy Sunday than a nutty, lightly sweetened oatmeal complemented with blueberries and cherries?  Here’s my semi-homemade recipe.
