Right before leaving Florida a small shop opened at the beach that served acai bowls. How fortuitous because I had been wondering what they were. I had a delicious bowl with Hawaiian fruits but the server said they also serve oatmeal bowls for breakfast. I went back the next day and had the Caprese Bowl: steel-cut oats and quinoa blended with fresh parmesan, cherry tomatoes, avocado, basil olive oil, sea salt and cracked pepper.
Holy cow, was that good! You can order the bowls with 100% oats or quinoa or half & half. I went with the half/half mixture. They had lots of sweet versions, all of which I've made myself, but the savory idea just never occured to me. So easy to make at home, especially since I make my oats in the crock pot and precook the quinoa. All it takes is heating the goods and adding the toppings.
