[Susan Otcenas]

I like oatmeal okay, but I have to put alot of brown sugar on it, which is probably not so good. But it fills me up and makes me feel good.

Here's something to try in place of the brown sugar.

If you like dried fruit, try cooking some oatmeal with the dried fruit right in the pot. Sometimes I dice up 2-3 dried apricots and toss them right in the pot with the oatmeal & water. As the oatmeal cooks, the dried fruit softens up and imparts its sweet flavor to the whole pot of oatmeal. YUMMY! I like nuts, so I might toss a few toasted almonds on top too.
