Do you eat oatmeal?

[Anonymous]

Old-fashioned rolled from a natural foods store in my neighborhood. Eat every morning and buy 5 lb at a time. Sometimes add rolled barley and/or wheat. Heat water 4 min in microwave, add oatmeal, cook 4 min. A couple of pats of butter and a drizzle of honey.

I started this some years ago. Partly economy and health ($5.45 for the 5-lb sack) and partly because I like not having to decide what breakfast will be.

Sometimes I make up a packet of the Brown Sugar and Maple flavored oats.

Otherwise, I make up instant oats the way my mother taught me when I was young:

8 tsp. of oats (or more if hungry)
2 tsp. of sugar
1tsp. of butter
Add water just to the top. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir - add more water if necessary. Microwave another 30 seconds. Add milk.

So no bean dip, no chili, no Persian soups, no guacamole if your cat got into grass...

Yep, about three or four times a week. Quaker old-fashioned, topped with a little maple syrup and whatever fruit we have. Sometimes I add nuts.

Never. It makes me so so bloated.
