Alphabet Oats Challenge Complete
As of this morning, I finally completed my alphabet oats challenge. While I did not devote a bowl of oats to every letter in the alphabet, I came pretty close. Along the way, I tried plenty of new oatmeal mix-ins (who knew kiwi would be an ideal accompaniment?), and I also tried plenty of entirely new foods (who knew quinces were so friggin’, fraggin’ delicious?). Anyway, below are my alphabetical adventures in oats. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome! I have created this blog for people who love food, especially healthful, vegetarian food.
I have just graduated from Duke University with degrees in English and psychology. I plan to pursue a master's degree in nutrition starting in Fall 2010. Ideally, I would like to combine my love of food and the written word someday as a health writer.
