I was in a breakfast rut and I love savory dishes, so I tried this recipe. I added plenty of smoked paprika and red pepper flakes and enjoyed the diversion from my regular routine. Give it a try!

Who said oatmeal has to be sweet? You can adapt this savory recipe to suit your palate and swap in different salsas or pasta sauces when you crave a change.

If you are an insulin-dependent type II diabetic, please make sure that you work closely with your doctor while adopting a plant-based lifestyle as you can regain your insulin sensitivity in as little as a week and you will want your doctor to closely monitor your need for your insulin medication and reduce/eliminate as appropriate.

In its 2017 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes, the American Diabetes Association maintains that a plant-based eating pattern is an effective option for type 2 diabetes management and encourages clinicians to always include education on lifestyle management.
