🧡 Nana’s Classic Breakfast Recipe
Ingredients
(Adjust to your preference—Nana always said, “Taste as you go!”)
1 cup milk (or your favorite dairy alternative)
½ cup oats (or semolina, depending on your version)
1–2 tbsp sugar, honey, or maple syrup
A pinch of salt
A knob of butter
Optional toppings: cinnamon, banana slices, berries, nuts, raisins, or a drizzle of honey
👩🍳 How to Make It (Nana Style)
- In a small pot, warm the milk over medium heat.
- Add the oats/semolina and stir continuously so it stays smooth and creamy.
- Add sugar or your preferred sweetener and a pinch of salt—this tiny step brings the flavor to life.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes until thick and silky.
- Add a small piece of butter right before serving. Let it melt in… that’s the Nana secret!
- Top with cinnamon, fruit, nuts, or enjoy it plain just like she did.
💬 A Little Family Story
Growing up, the smell of warm milk and butter drifting from the kitchen always meant Nana was already awake, smiling, and ready to start the day. She never used measurements—just her hands, her heart, and years of practice. Now, every time I make this breakfast, it feels like a little piece of her is still here with me.
