#BerryNOats berries berry breakfast Driscolll's Berries healthy mixed berry oatmeal recipe

Creamy Mixed Berry Oatmeal

driscolls disclaimerMixed Berry Oatmeal with Driscoll's Berries #BerryNOats - Mama Harris' KitchenPart of my job is to share with you all of the varieties of food holidays and give you some recipe inspiration to celebrate. Now I can’t possibly share each and every holiday with you, because there are so many, but I will share some of my favorites. October 29th is National Oatmeal Day and I was going to bring cookies or bars, but I decided to do a good old fashioned bowl of oatmeal and add a few custom twists to make it unique.

mixed berry oatmeal with Driscoll's Berries #BerriesNOats - Mama Harris' KitchenThe first thing I did was add lots of different berries from Driscoll’s. You may remember that I do love my berries, a few months back I made a luscious bundt cake with ALL the berries too! Berries are low in calories, high in fiber and contain vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function normally. Having just one serving of strawberries may improve heart health, lower the risk of developing some cancers and lowers blood pressure. Blueberries are considered one of the best stress-busting foods due to the high amount of antioxidant and vitamin C content. It’s one of my favorite berries and I love to add it to multi-grain cereals. I think berries are a great addition to oatmeal too, oatmeal is also high in fiber and offers many cardiovascular benefits like reducing the risk of high blood pressure. It also induces the brain to increase production of seratonin, which keeps anxiety and stress away. Oatmeal is also rich in protein, which also allows you to feel fuller and it’s so comforting, especially during the colder season.

My husband loves oatmeal. He makes a pot of oatmeal a few times a week and he add milk, butter and sugar to it. It’s such a comfort food for him, especially eating it that way, but I prefer to add fruits and seasonings to add to the flavor. I did add some butter and brown sugar to this combination, but used almond milk instead of plain and decided to add some honey and mascarpone cheese for a nice rich and creamy taste. If you’re not familiar with mascarpone, it’s an italian cheese similar to cream cheese without the thickness. It’s a mild flavored cheese that adds just the right amount of creamy richness to something like oatmeal. During the cold season I also try to add honey to everything because of the health benefits and because I have bad seasonal allergies. I find that purchasing local honey helps reduce my symptoms and it tastes great with so many things.

This creamy mixed berry oatmeal is a great way to start your day. It has all the right nutrients and plenty of flavor to please your tastebuds and keep your tummy satisfied.

Creamy Mixed Berry Oatmeal Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • dash of salt
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 tablespoon natural butter
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced
  • 5-6 blueberries
  • 3 raspberries, quartered
  • 3 blackberries, quartered
  • 1-2 teaspoons mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey or agave
  • dash of cinnamon

Directions:

    That looks delicious! The addition of mascarpone cheese sounds amazing 🙂 I usually eat oatmeal daily, switching it up between overnight oats and hot oatmeal with just a touch of brown sugar and fresh maple syrup, with a little coconut milk to make it creamy. It’s comfort food for me!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
