NMS Covenant: Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish Oatmeal


All of you boys and girls out there who are sick of lunch-meat and cheese sandwiches: this is for you.

The No More Sandwich Covenant

As part of my dedication to the NMS Covenant, I decided to post about a delicious new recipe I discovered via the brilliant website,FoodPair.com. I wanted to make something quick and delicious that involved cream cheese and oatmeal, and lo and behold, I discovered an amazing new way to eat oatmeal! The recipe is from a chef on Food.com.

All you need is
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (I used some Splenda as well as brown sugar)

Place the water, lemon juice, Splenda/sugar and blueberries in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the blueberries form a nice syrup consistency; remember to keep stirring so it doesn't burn!

Stir in the oats, cinnamon and cream cheese until combined.


Lastly, stir in the cottage cheese and mix just until the curds start to melt. Enjoy this deliciously warm and creamy treat!

I wonder what this would taste like with other fruits: strawberries, mangoes, pineapple.... I'll bet it would be good! What's the weirdest thing that you've ever put in oatmeal?
