It is so nice to get out of routine sometimes and mix up your ordinary habits. Faced with all of the yummy breakfast choices while on vacation in Mexico, I was drawn repeatedly to the oatmeal “bar” which included toppings I never would have imagined for a bowl of oatmeal.

Each day, there was a different variety of flavors of this dense, spongy bread from walnut to lemon to pistacio. […]
