mixed fruits, bananas, strawberries, blueberries. Or plain, slow-cooked variety with butter, a little sugar sprinkled all over, then a little milk added just as the butter is getting melty. I could eat this every day.

1/2 cup almond milk or soymilk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of each: nutmeg, allspice, and ground ginger. I add raisins, 1 medium banana, 1 small apple, chopped, and one tablespoon of peanut butter mixed in. Then I add about 2 more tablespoons of peanut butter on top. I know, sound like a lot…but it’s not and it has kept me full for a record of 6 hours.

Oatmeal with a packet of diet hot chocolate mixed in (the 25 calorie one) is fantastic!

Steel cut oats, almond milk, brown sugar, a bit of cottage cheese, raisins (or any other fruit), cut up nuts, dashes of baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract… put in a baking dish, slices of banana on top… baked at 350 for a half hour! Baked oatmeal! Eaten warm, with peanut butter spread on top. Sounds like a lot of work, but I make a batch at the beginning of the week and then microwave my portion every morning before work.

Love putting rolled oats in the microwave, and topping them with Local Folks Foods’ Blueberry Jam.

Great local product – works perfectly in oatmeal.

I can’t stand oatmeal. (I can’t even eat cream of wheat.) LOL I’ve tried many times, and one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when people say they can’t eat something “because it’s a texture thing” but uh, with oatmeal it’s totally because it’s a texture thing. Slimy, weird, icky; ugh. LOL

MAYBE one day. Sometimes in the grocery store I look longingly at the boxes for cinnamon maple and think “mmm, that sounds tasty!” but then I flashback to texture, and run from the aisle.

oatmeal. to me that means quaker oats, and I like them. but with sugar, milk and butter. when I hear ” steel cut oats” I wonder, what is that? oats are oats, I reackon, like grits are grits. and beans are beans. what is called dry cured country ham around here is called prosutito on half a melon slice and eaten raw. but nobody eats raw ham around here. I like ham, but would never eat it raw. there is a reason for that. like I will not eat rare poultry, but thats another story. polenta, but oats, real oatmeal, boiled down and cooked right? seldom seen. like rye whiskey. just dont grow well around here. but I like the quick oatmeal, with a little milk and dried peaches or raisins. but 3/4 oz of an oz envelopes are not much. so I use two. and splenda is great. but it aint gona give you that sugar rush. deal with it. yesterday, for desert, I had fruit salad. canned pinaple and sliced bannaas. and it was pretty good, too. some of us are more inclilined to be heavy ( ok, fat). but any kind oatmeal is is good, as long as it is not in the form of a rasin oatmeal cookie or refined flour. damn. you know. remember ” roman meal” bread. just dont go wild with the butter, sugar, or milk. see all those cardiac surgeons and funeral directors… mum nice car… well yeah… they have a constant stream of bussiness. but they say cinnamon is good for you and reduces sugar cravings. just dont put oatmeal in meatoaf or meatballs. a gloppy mess., Ive tried it. use bread crumbs
