This is our first recipe in our new house. We have been moving/driving for the past week so we finally got a chance to make something yummy on our new stove. Well, new to us anyway. I honestly never thought to cook oatmeal in coconut milk until I saw it on a menu at a restaurant in town. They sell it for $7.50 and I thought, oh my god, I could do that myself for way less money. I had a can of coconut milk in my pantry and a big bag of oats so I put it all together with some other things I had on hand, and it ended up being amazing. I will be using coconut milk in my oatmeal from now on because it’s so creamy and delicious – way better than other milks!
