the quest for the perfect easy bowl of oatmeal

[java]

If I'm in a hurry I use instant. Slice up a banana, put it in the bowl, dump the instant over the banana and add boiling water. Top with a little soy milk and I'm good to go.

If I"m not in a hurry though, I prefer steel cut.

Don't know what it is about my grocery stores, but I can't find anything but quaker or store brand. I really wanna try some steel cut, but can't find it. Give me some brand names please? Maybe I can call some whole food stores and check it out. Unfortunately our whole food stores + $$$$

BTW..I'm baack! Fisrt post in ages!

Barb, I live in Wal-Mart land (the real one--near Bentonville, AR), so no one within 30 miles has steel cut oats (although Wal-Mart's organic and "not found in Arkansas" selection is growing--I can get cous-cous, now, but not capers in my local Wal-Mart). But I happened to be in funky Fayetteville when I found steel cut oats--in the little health food boutique section of the grocery store closest to the only food co-op in the area.

What I'm trying to say is, try the health food store, or the regular store closest to the health food store!

I'm in the mood for oatmeal. Usually buy the Quick Oats, don't eat the instant anymore. I finally found Steel Cut Oats at a local health food store, going to make some in the crock pot this weekend.
