February 9: Meal Monday (Scotland) (oatmeal and porridge)
A hearty breakfast awaits you on Meal Monday! From the 17th century to the late 19th century, Scottish university students lived a meager existence. They heated their rooms with firewood or peat they salvaged themselves and they lived primarily on oatmeal and porridge. Long weekends allowed them to replenish supplies on Monday, which was called Meal Monday.
Oatmeal remains a favorite beyond being a period version of Top Ramen. Check out online food recipes for the standard oatmeal breakfast or experiment with these family dinner recipes that teach you how to make porridge. Learn new ways to flavor this basic yet filling dish which can be made to appeal to many people. We do not have to collect firewood or peat anymore, but we can still enjoy warm and satisfying grain dishes!

Jenn's Trail Mix Oatmeal
This particular oatmeal is called my Trail Mix oatmeal because I top it with nuts, chocolate, and fruit. It has an earthy taste from the steel cut oats yet also a sinful flavor from the sweet chocolate chips and juicy blackberries. It is both sweet and crunchy without having a dessert feel.
