Even the most generic chain restaurants have their own delicious diamonds in the rough. The best way to spice up your breakfast is warm and filling old-fashioned oatmeal, made with creamy skim milk and topped generously with some (or all!) of your favorites: dried cranberries, brown sugar, currants, toasted walnuts, and almonds, and served with a homemade sweet crisp. All of that for the same price you'd pay for a cup of coffee ($3.49). And you won't have to look far: you can find a nearby Corner Bakery without a problem in Southern California (and other states too).
