savory oatmeal with poached egg

I nearly had a heart attack when I came home from a chilly morning run the other day.  And no, the run itself did not cause this almost cardiovascular disaster.  I had been fantasizing about a piping hot bowl of banana, raisin, and cinnamon oatmeal for 5 miles. 5 whole miles of sweat and drool. It was intense. So when I burst through the front door I obviously headed straight for the kitchen. To my horror we were out of EVERYTHING except the oats.

I am addicted and you will be too. Photo1 Before I get to the recipe I wanted to give a huge shout out to my sister. She came to town this weekend with my little nephew and we had the absolute best time together.  She came to take a look at the farm and all of our progress.  We even happened to sport matching vests. Photo1 Sister farmers! (Okay, she may not be a farmer, but what she doesn't know is that I am recruiting her to weed like crazy this summer)! 521855_10151672447259832_528524564_n The garlic already needs it. Okay, back to the oatmeal that saved my life. This bowl of savory oats is delicious. I always think of oatmeal as being sweet. However, this recipe is a game changer for me. Between the earthy mushrooms, fragrant scallions, and runny egg yolk this meal was a home run. The addition of a little tamari sauce at the end tied the whole thing together. Photo1
