Oatmeal is a breakfast staple in our house. It’s a healthy and filling meal that can be dressed up in many different ways to suit your taste. If you’ve been following me for a while you know I’m more of a savory girl. One of my favorite ways to dress up oatmeal is to transform it into a savory dish and top it with a perfectly poached egg. As a Registered Dietitian, I love that it’s super easy to make and is also jam packed with protein, fiber and antioxidants.
Breakfast is often referred to as the most important meal of the day, and for good reason. It sets the tone for your overall well-being for the rest of the day. But let’s be real, who has the time or energy to make a gourmet breakfast every morning? That’s why I love my go-to 10-minute breakfast recipe for Stovetop Pizza Oatmeal. Not only is it easy to make, but it’s also packed with yummy nutrition to keep you going all morning.
This delicious and nutritious 10-minute stovetop golden oatmeal with apple is the perfect way to start the day! The warm, spicy flavors of the turmeric combine perfectly with the sweetness of the apples and the creaminess of the oats making a tasty and energizing breakfast.

![This might be controversial but let’s talk about sugar [AD].
As a dietitian it boggles my mind how much misinformation (and fear mongering) there is out there, especially when it comes to sugar. Let’s talk about 3 of the most common misunderstandings I hear.
❌ It’s not sugar addiction. ✔️It’s sugar *restriction*
Did you know that the majority of studies done on “food addiction” were actually conducted on subjects that were restricted or deprived from food. Why is this important? When we are deprived of food in general or something specific like sugar, our body’s natural response is to actually crave it more. It’s psychology 101.
❌ Sugar does not cause hyperactivity. ✔️It provides Energy
Sugar is simply carbohydrates broken down into their simplest form (aka the form we use for ENERGY!). Of the 3 macronutrients (carbs, fat & protein), carbs are broken down into energy the fastest which means you feel it quicker. So that burst of energy you’re getting after eating a piece of chocolate? It’s just your body doing its job.
❌ Sugar isn’t toxic. ✔️It’s food.
Okay this one drives me crazy. Saying something is toxic, is saying it’s poisonous. Sugar is a food that our bodies can digest and convert into energy. There are many forms of sugar and it is one source of fuel for our bodies. You don’t need to call poison control when you eat it, so stop saying it’s toxic.
