grits are bad

It took the United States Government to teach this kid from the suburbs of Boston that valuable lesson. ;-)

I actually prefer my oatmeal to be sticky. It gives you that "full" feeling so that you do not have to overeat.

Also, I highly recommend tossing a handful of raisins into your oatmeal. That will further raise the fiber content - and we could all use more fiber in our diets. Even those who already think they have enough fiber should eat more fiber. They should always have more. More fiber.

Toss some flax seeds into that oatmeal with raisins. That will increase the fiber content even more!

If you think grits are bad, you didn’t get real grits. Someone played a mean trick on you because you talked funny.

I use a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter after it’s waved! YUMMM!

Also, we grew up eating it raw....just oats, milk and a little sugar so never sticky, haa!

Use whole rolled oats. Make with whole milk and a bit of water. Cook over low heat until the mixture comes to a soft boil, but not boil over and oats still have “crunch” to them. Stir in butter until butter melts. Use desired sweetener. I prefer honey. Yum!!!

He just jacked up the calories immensely with his additions of large amounts of apple, sugar and maple syrup. It is healthier to make a large pot (8 servings) of steel-cut oats adding only one pack of stevia, then divide it into one-serving containers in the freezer. Waahen you want to eat it, microwave it for 1:29. After microwaving, stir in only1/4 cup of fruit (unsweetened blueberries, applesauce, pineapple, etc), and avoid all those calories.

Perhaps you prefer restaurants where much of the food is prepared by cootie carrying illegals. Where your order is sprinkled with flesh eating lice, top off with drug resistant infected sweat.

Bon appetit.

Throw some old fashioned oats in a bowl. Add some water. Microwave for 1 minute. If still watery add 30 seconds. Then put on brown sugar and rice milk. Yum.

I eat oatmeal 5 times a week but I like it non watery..

I take a half cup of oatmeal add a full cup of water and put it in the microwave for 6 minutes.
Take it out, and add blueberrys and a half of a banana, and some milk.
As much as I like strawberrys they are better with special K than with oatmeal. -Tom

Soaking the rolled oats overnight makes the texture perfect and speeds up the cooking process in the morning. Serve with heavy cream and real maple syrup and it is fantastic.

1) Make oatmeal. Old Fashioned rolled oats, water, salt. That's it.
2) Scoop cooked oatmeal from pot into bowl.
3) Add half a stick of butter to the top.
4) Enjoy.

I like sticky oatmeal.

[Does so]

After a couple of years of powered eggs my WWII dad wouldn’t go near scrambled eggs for years and years.

Powered eggs give a real rush to the morning. ;)
