My Breakfast Obsession: Cherry, Walnut Oatmeal

Easy to prepare and very healthy; a whole grain breakfast that's low in sodium, provides one serving of fruit and heart healthy walnuts and soy milk. What's not to love? Try it out and let me know what you think. You'll never go back to instant oatmeal again!
