deborahjrossOatmeal is touted as a health food. Certainly, it is supposed to lower total cholesterol (which I don't need to do) and increase HDL ("good" cholesterol, which I do). I'm happy to eat it for my regular breakfast because I like it a whole lot. I strongly prefer the old-fashioned kind, or even rolled oats, with lots of chewy texture. I have a grand time experimenting with ways to make it even more interesting.
currently playing at your local kitchen:
1/2 c old-fashioned oatmeal
1T wheat bran
1T flaxseed meal
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c water
pinch salt
microwave 5 minutes. Chewy, grainy texture. Sometimes I add 1 T chopped walnuts. I'm currently taking a break from apples/n/cinnamon; dried blueberries/n/almonds and other good things. Don't want to get bored.
