Breakfast can get a little boring and repetitive after a while, especially, when you're trying to lose weight and eat healthy. I've been doing the meal portion of the 21 Day Fix for months now (btw I've lost 45 lbs with the 21 Day Fix, just sayin.) and my staple first meal of the day is oatmeal with eggs on the side. I like to start my morning off with this meal, because it is high in protein, which keeps me full longer, and the heart-healthy, cholesterol-lowering powers of the oatmeal give me fuel to kickoff my day. But dang there are only so many ways to crack an egg or whip up oatmeal, right? WRONG!
I just discovered that if you mix the oatmeal and eggs together you get a whole new world of DELICIOUSNESS! You can whisk the eggs up and add them to the oatmeal as it is cooking to give it a creamy taste without messing up the oatmeal flavor and when it's done add whatever goodies you usually add. Or you can fry up the egg and top off your oatmeal with this yummy source of protein. Either way it is a healthy and tasty way to change up your morning eating routine.
Savory Sriracha Oatmeal & Egg recipe

1 cup rolled oats (NOT instant)
2 cups water
1 tablespoon Bragg Liquid Aminos (an be purchased online at Amazon.com) or low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha, plus more for happy squirting
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, minced
Olive oil or Coconut oil Spray
2 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a small saucepan set over a medium heat, combine the oats, water, , Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce), Sriracha, rosemary, and garlic. Bring it to a boil, cover, and lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the oats are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
While the oats are cooking, spray a medium saucepan and heat it over a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, crack in the eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired consistency, though sunny side up is my preference so the yolk can ooze all over your oatmeal. For sunny side up, cook the egg (without flipping) until the whites are set and the yolk is still jiggly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Spoon out the oatmeal, and top each serving with a fried egg. Squirt additional Sriracha over all of it should you want a little extra heat. (Helluar, who doesn’t?)
