Oatmeal - what kind and what do you add?
Until a year ago I hardly touched oatmeal.
Now I make enough for 3 days on the stove and nuke the leftovers. I like rolled oats and steel cut. I make 3 cups at a time and throw in 2 chopped apples and boil it until it's done. Before serving I add dried fruit [raisins, prunes]. I don't have a favorite brand or type yet. Do you? I'm looking for other combinations. |

I used to make it from the round cardboard box with the Quaker guy on the front. However, SOMEONE in our home who runs to the grocery store and is very helpful, has returned three times with the buy one get one free instant oatmeal. (Maybe four times) So I fix it with half and half. I like the dates and nuts, and the maple one, and the brown sugar. Sometimes I use skim milk to make it. That is usually the week just after I have been to the doctor for a checkup.
I used to collect those cardboard round containers to make drums for the Indians. In my classroom, right around Thanksgiving. I mean Native Americans.

Years ago I switched from Quaker Oats style oatmeal to Trader Joe’s steel cut oatmeal, the quick cook variety. I add some pieces of ginger and dried fruit such as blueberries and/or cherries from Costco. I use a combination of almond and coconut milk on it.

To get oats to cook more quickly they have to be more finely cut, which is less beneficial to your digestive system, so go with "traditional" rather than the quick cook or instant
Cook the oats, adding fresh blueberries and cranberries very near the end I also add flax seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon and turmeric (mixed with black pepper) before cooking, but it all adds time to the process Last edited by Arctic Fox; 08-04-2018 at 12:37 PM. |

That is the beauty of oatmeal...so much can be added to it, and one can be so creative with it.

The instant oatmeal is tasty but it has lots more carbs (sugar mostly) than I think is healthy

Quaker Oats with peanut butter and honey...every morning. Haven't had the egg/bacon/sausage/pancake deal for years. I eat grits, but not for breakfast.

Bob's Red Mill Organic Steel Cut Oats are the best, IMHO. Their Muesli is great for breakfast too, especially if you're in a hurry. You can count on quality products from Bob's Red Mill.
The story behind Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods and its founder, Bob Moore, is an interesting one. |
