Spiced Pumpkin Oatmeal
(www.pcrm.org)
Oatmeal is touted for being a heart-healthy food, but why? Oats
have a significant amount of soluble fiber, the type of fiber that
helps to pull cholesterol out of your body. Serve this warm
breakfast staple with nondairy milk and for a special treat try
pumpkin spice flavored soymilk. Add a pinch of ground cloves to pack
in extra flavor.
