Each year my family and I celebrate Thanksgiving in Stowe, Vermont. We take long hikes, enjoy some good food and pray for snow. One of our favorite harvest breakfasts in Stowe includes steel cut oatmeal. Loaded with fiber (key in helping your body to eliminate gunk and toxins), this detox friendly breakfast is simple and delicious.
