I'm a huge oatmeal fan. Since quarantine began, I've eaten oatmeal for breakfast most mornings. I often do a big batch of steel cut oats in the instapot and heat them up with milk in the morning, but I've been known to whip up old fashioned oats in the microwave as well.
Back in the pre-covid days, there was a place near us in San Francisco called Reverie that had a really amazing faro porridge with dried fruit, coconut, nuts, and spices in a creamy sauce. It's unclear to me whether they still serve it, but it's a moot point since I'm pretty sure they don't deliver to DC. Anyways, I decided to try my hand at making something similar that would be a quick and delicious weekend breakfast option. I think it turned out pretty well.
