What has happened to me this winter? On the mornings I don’t work, I get up, and methodically pour oats, soy milk and water into a small saucepan and stand there for 20 minutes and stir. For the majority of my life I’ve been a weet-bix and milk girl. I would make it and eat it within about 3 minutes, standing up at the kitchen bench. But now I take almost an hour! I think i’m turning into my nanna! Working part-time certainly has its perks and I’m making the most of it while I can. 
I posted on porridge a little while back and I thought I’d found the secret formula. But alas I was wrong. THIS is the best way to eat porridge!
LEMON BUTTER AND STRAWBERRIES!! It is SO tasty!
I add a teaspoon of honey and a few drops of vanilla to the oats, then spread a tablespoon of lemon butter over the top, add strawberries and some dry pan roasted almonds on top. A bit of banana is good too.
WOW.
I bought this lemon butter from the Kelvin Grove Markets. It’s made by Ken and Dot Windolf, out at Laidley. They’re number is 07 5465 1899. It’s lovely and fresh and tangy.
Kitchen Garden update! I would love to say that the strawberries atop my porridge were from my garden, but sadly no… but! We have one lovely glossy red strawberry in our garden that will hopefully be ready tomorrow! I hope we get to eat it before the possums do!
I’m pretty sure lemon butter is unicorn crap, it’s that shiny and delicious.
Dylan, I like the way you roll, man.
Bloglove at first sight! I read this post and instantly knew my afternoon would be lost trolling through your fabulousness, but this post I think is my fav – LOVE lemon butter and strawberries with yoghurt so I’m going to have to try this recipe on the weekend.
Wow this is a great resource.. I’m enjoying it.. good article

I’m pretty sure you’re my future wife. Lemon butter is the BOMB. Porridge is also amazing. I just finished off a bowl myself (peanut butter + date mixed in).
Excellent idea – I’d never think to put lemon butter in oats!
Ally – with your peanut butter and dates, and my lemon butter and strawberries – we could make a good wife&wife team!
hehe
