Oatmeal

I think I might have to get myself some steel-cut oats, then, and save the rolled for cookies. (I think that's a completely legitimate way to eat oatmeal. It's oatmeal! And eggs! And nuts! That's nutritious!)

hehehehe, we think alike

I actually gave up on rolled oats years ago when I discovered Trader Joe's Multigrain hot cereal - it is still rolled grains but is a combination of different grains, rye/barley/oats/wheat. I really like it, but I like Trader Joe's steel cut oats even better and that is saying a lot! I almost went for the imported Irish steel-cut oats, but at least double the price I said nahhhh, steel-cut is steel-cut as far as I know...

So I had steel cut oats for the first time today. OMG the are good! Next time I probably won't need to add as much of my sweet add ons that I use in my regular rolled oats!

I am home ill from work for the rest of the week but I think that steel-cut oats will make an excellent recuperation breakfast...with a few blueberries, PB and a tad bit of milk!

I picked up some steel-cut oats last weekend and am only just getting around to cooking them. Yesterday I tried them with a pinch of salt, sliced almonds and a few spoonfuls of brown sugar. I needed a lot less than I did with rolled. Today, I tried PB and a little bit of white sugar. Not quite as good. I like the protein boost, though.
