OK Who Else Loves OATMEAL?

[K8-EEE]

Not the pasty Quaker kind but the chewy cook-it-for-a-half-hour kind??

McCain's Irish Oatmeal rocks!! With butter, milk, cinamon and brown sugar natch....

[alittlelark]

1. We get it at Trader Joes..... it is truly delicious.

It is the only kind my kids will eat anymore.

[K8-EEE]

12. That's where I get it too!

I love TJ's!

2. Is that steel cut? How do you cook that?

I keep eyeballing Irish steel cut oatmeal at the store.

[yewberry]

7. Yum, steel cut.

Yup, you have to simmer it for 45 minutes or so.

So good!

[K8-EEE]

11. I cook it for 24 minutes -- the water has to be boiling when you start

It's good with bananas too, or applesauce...

[yewberry]

15. Wow, 24 minutes?

Hmmm, why does it take me so long?

(Confession: my husband usually cooks the oatmeal. I am the oatmeal recipient.)

[K8-EEE]

17. Ooops Typo, I meant 35 minutes!!

GAK! Sorry!

[hickman1937]

13. Sounds perfect.

I usually have to spend 45 minutes inhaling coffee before I'm ready for breakfast anyway.

3. Oatmeal, the rib-sticking kind!

I also drizzle maple syrup in it and add raisins. Or mix in applesauce, for an apple crisp fix...

[GOPisEvil]

4. McCain's is great!

Even their instant tastes good, too.

5. I love real oatmeal...

cinnamon and brown sugar. mmmm.

[Spacemom]

6. A little known benefit of oatmeal

It's great for new moms. It boosts their milk supply.

[Double T]

8. Eat it everyday in several different forms

It is the BEST!!!!

9. Oh, I love McCain's Irish Oatmeal!

My all-time favorite breakfast. :9

[blondeatlast]

10. I need to try that. Thanks for the tip.

I enjoy even the Quaker Quick oats (I have so little time in the morning).

I'm on an intense low choilesterol, high fiber diet, so...

Actually, I'm enjoying the change of diet, fwiw.

[K8-EEE]

14. For Me At Least, Oatmeal Is An Appetite Supressant of Sorts

Have no idea the chemistry/scinece of it but I swear you don't even think about eating for 5 house after eating a cup of this stuff.

[blondeatlast]

24. Gotta laugh. I made1cup (the recommended daily amount to really

whack your cholesterol).

About halfway thru, I was groaning!

Now it's just one cup a day. That was just way too much!

[LynzM]

16. Mmm....oatmeal

But I have yet to try the 1/2 hour of cooking kind! Personally, I like it with a little sugar and peanut butter :)

[K8-EEE]

18. PEANUT BUTTER!!!

Now you tell me -- I just finished, LOL, I'm gonna try that next time though, it sounds brilliant.

[LynzM]

25. Sorry!

It is absolutely terrific... I first tried it while camping. Peanut butter and a little syrup. Yum! Enjoy!

[Wetzelbill]

19. I had some last night

[nuxvomica]

20. I like any kind

I prefer slow-cooked but I often have the instant kind. I usually have it with raisins or banana slices and sometimes, rarely, with skim milk and turbinado sugar.

[Lilyhoney]

21. Real oatmeal for me please.

I put nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, some kind of fruit and butter and raw sugar. I also like Farina.

Although, I only eat theese at night as a snack.

Oh, and it has to be made with whole milk. Put the oatmeal in the cold milk, and has to be cooked very, very slowly for about 25 minutes. The oats will be tender with enough chew to it and the milk has become thick but not too heavy.

[EstimatedProphet]

22. I LOVE McCann's

Nothing better on a snowy morning. Use a little heavy cream, some butter, and brown sugar. YUM!

[Justpat]

23. I've been using McCann's for years.

I also use it make this wonderful whole wheat bread. It's soooo
good.

[Democracy White]

26. I get the cheap, instant kind from Save-A-Lot

so I don't have the benefit of trying the kinds you are talking about here. However, I am a fan of cream of wheat smothered in butter, brown sugar and syrup. Yum!

27. every single morning: big serving. I use Silver Palate's

rough cut oatmeal, which is available at Central Market and Target locally (same price both places, too)

I love this oatmeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I make it with brown sugar and the lightest tasting olive oil you can find. YUM YUM YUM YUM

[philosophie_en_rose]

28. Best Oatmeal Recipe

I read this recipe on a website and it's the best I've ever had.


Paraphrased:

Heat the pot.
Melt a small amount of butter.
Add a little sugar.
Toast dry (non-instant) oatmeal, until it smells like oatmeal cookies.
Add milk.
Cook for 30 minutes.

Add toppings: maple syrup, condensed milk, brown sugar, etc.

Enjoy.

29. it's the right thing to do
