"I love breakfast almost more than I love dessert. I was inspired to experiment with oatmeal after visiting one of my favorite breakfast places. I vary the recipe a little almost every time I make it, using whatever fresh fruit is in season. It always tastes 'de-lish' - thus, the name. I like organic oats because they keep their shape and taste better, but regular oats will do". - Sonja Elias, Minneapolis, Minnesota

* 3/4 cup water
* 3/4 cup apple cider
* 1 cup organic rolled oats
