My DH makes yummy steel-cut oatmeal (organic!) in the crockpot overnight during the cooler times of the year. Adding pumpkin sounds like a great idea -- thanks! He'll typically put raisins, sometimes dried cranberries, and lots of cinnamon in it. Ooooh, it's so good!

We have our first cold weekend coming up here in NC -- I feel an oatmeal morning coming up!
