HEARTY CINNAMON & WALNUT OATMEAL 
1/2 cup skim milk (or water)
3/8 cup oatmeal
1/8 cup raisins
1/8 cup chopped walnuts*
1 tsp. cinnamon
dab of butter
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. lite Cool Whip (optional)

Note: May substitute your favorite kind of nut - cashews, almonds, even peanuts! All should be chopped.

In a saucepan, boil milk (or water).

In a bowl, mix raisins, nuts and cinnamon. Add oatmeal to saucepan, stir for 10 seconds then add raisin and nut mixture. Stir for at least 1 minute until it reaches desired consistency.

Note: It shouldn't be too runny, but if you like that way than I suggest starting with 3/4 cup liquid.

Finally, remove from heat and pour into serving dish. Add brown sugar and dab of butter and some Cool Whip, if desired.

Note: If you're dieting, the raisins should be sweet enough, and you can omit the last three ingredients.
